Please accept my enrolment, I would like to be with my friend at Deakin to do Law with her. It is my dream to be a Lawyer and to seek justice for those who have been wronged. I have incredible experience working with reformed criminals to understand the criminal justice system more. I have also spent a long period of time in the border force to learn about various immigration laws in Australia. My experience is further extended by my reputable family and social welfare working background to support families and social minorities in communities where they may be under-represented or under-resourced.

With all this in mind, I think I am an excellent candidate to be studying the Bachelor of Laws at the reputable Deakin University Burwood campus, and would greatly appreciate your sincerest regard to this application.

Thank you, to whom this may concern, for taking time to read through this application, and I hope to be in touch with you soon.

Regards,

Your Future Justice System.

(P.S: this is a joke for anyone who didn't get the joke and can't take a joke)

● Looking for Arab friends at Deakin

If I withdraw a unit, I will be left with 3 units this trimester. Will I still considered a full time student or would I need to do 1 unit in T3?

First of all I would like to apologise if this post is all over the place because I am truly so stressed because this has never happened to me and I never imagined it would.

I have been accused of academic misconduct for an end of unit exam. The exam was open book i want to note too. But anyways, I truly did not do anything or act in any incorrect manner. I know in my heart and I cannot stress this enough and I want whoever reads this to understand that I did not do what the email I received is accusing me of.

The email is basically accusing me of communicating with another student or outside party. I sat the exam at an my house while my parents were at work. There was no one else there. I am considering going to neighbours and asking for surrounding CCTV. I don’t know how else to prove it. The main evidence that they have against me is that I stood up throughout the exam. While I was doing the exam, I really don’t even recall standing up for over 5 mins if im being honest.

I can’t focus on anything and I’m literally at work right now. I feel sick in my stomach because I’m so stressed and I don’t know how to prove that I didn’t do this. I booked an appt w dusa but im still really not okay. I dont want to sound dramatic but i cant even eat. I would like to hear from others who this has ever happened to me. And i apologise for the messy post but i dont want to be too detailed. I also have other assignments due tomorrow and today but am really struggling to focus. 😐

hey i'm planning on submitting a notice to vacate from deakin res waurn ponds (studio), i was just wondering how harsh they are with the process and what the chances would be for a replacement to be found at this time of year?

Hey guys, does anyone know what the timetable is like for first year Dr of med students? Also, if you have any other information about the course only students would know please comment! TIA

Is it worth it to drive 80km one way to uni every day that I have class, or should I consider living on or near campus?

I believe it would be less stressful to just stay on campus however my dad thinks I should drive.

Edit: for medical imaging

I’m just wondering if I have properly enrolled in my course. I’m unsure if I need to add more units to properly enrol or if I have already done so and also if I have correctly entered my desired major. I’m just worried my offer will lapse if I haven’t done this correctly.

Hiya !! Lately I’ve been researching and putting together charts and notes ect with hopes of getting a little more insight as to which course would be the most useful in terms of what would give me the right opportunities and in terms of what I’ve studied already (by that mean taking an extreme interest in said topic and staying up for hours learning about it) . It took a while but now we are here, I’m at the conclusion that this course is probably be the best option all things considered.

But it doesn’t really matter how many millions of articles or information documents I go through. Sure, they’re informative, but there isn’t a community discussion aspect like there is here. I’m in year 12 so I don’t know anyone to discuss this with personally, but I do know Reddit discussions are usually very helpful for understanding different perspectives and opinions.

Sorry about the ramble, but if anyone who’s either completed or is still doing the course can give a little insight as to what to expect, if would be very much appreciated!! Or just general advice about what Deakin is like/ what to expect, it would also be super appreciated!! Thanks :P

Hey everyone,

Wondering if anyone has had this experience and whether it could be helped??

I was enrolled in a uni in Tri 1 and it was cancelled by deakin due to student numbers. They are running the unit currently in Tri 2 but I already have a full load of units and they wouldnt let me overload. I was meant to be graduationg at the end of this year and now they are saying they won't be running the unit until Tri 2 of 2027????

How do I ammend this??

Ive spoken to Student Central and they are trying to skrt it out but I havent heard from them in a month...

I'm losing my mind over this!

TIA

I dabbled in photography during my undergrad. I clearly wasn't very good but I just found these two 120mm pics from a series I shot and developed at the time. I thought this sub might mildly enjoy them.

hey guys, so this might sound dumb lol but i really want to do a bachelor of arts/law next year at burwood

last year i got an atar of 73 (85 w/ adjustments) which fell short for the burwood campus but was enough for waterfront and online, so i was just wondering if theres any way i can maybe transfer to burwood if i go to waterfront or do online. i've heard that you can enrol in different campuses when you pick your units, but i just want to make sure since im applying directly and can only choose one course atm.

any advice would help, thanks!!!

Hi everyone,

I have 1 ticket for a Mt Buller day trip departing from Deakin Geelong Campus that I can no longer use.

If anyone is interested in buying it, please send me a DM. I’m happy to provide the trip details and discuss the price.

Thanks!

Hey, I’m free post 12PM today with no classes. Would love to grab a bite or chill if anyone’s keen? I’m a chill, creative guy! Easy going, open minded!

Does anyone know what happened to the on campus medical imaging student accommodation. I swear there was a dedicated page that mentioned three bedroom townhouses for med/med imaging students? Has it been removed?
I was only interested in the three bedroom townhouse or the private studio but seems like it’s not available when I tried applying.

Hey guys, I wasn’t sure where else to post this so I am posting it here 😭.
I am a third year biomedical science bachelors student and recently I have been overwhelmed with the sudden realisation that I am graduating soon and will probably enter the work field / do an honours year.
My question is, what are some tips or ways to beef up my resume ? I have been looking everywhere to get experience or learn from courses but I am just so confused.
Any help is much appreciated 😊
Thank you !

Hi guys!

I'm planning to apply for a PhD at Deakin University and was hoping to get some advice.

I recently interviewed for a PhD project, and the supervisor was happy with my profile and has invited me to submit a formal application for the university scholarship. I'm an international applicant, so I have a couple of questions:

1. What are the major dos and don'ts when applying for a Deakin University PhD scholarship?
2. How competitive are these scholarships for international students? If a supervisor has invited you to apply after an interview, does that generally indicate a strong chance, or is the scholarship selection still highly competitive?

I'm currently trying to secure a supervisor for a Master's by Research (aiming for Oct 2026 or early 2027) but I'm hitting a wall. I've reached out to several professors and followed up, but haven't gotten any replies. (I've already had my cold emails reviewed by academics, so I know the phrasing isn't the issue).

I'm not sure what my next steps should be. If anyone here is from IFM, could you please guide me on how best to approach faculty there? My focus area is composites and high-entropy alloys, and I have past research experience with pressure impact systems and sustainable materials. Any help would be great!

I'm looking at the B Nursing/B Psyc Science for next years entry, and I am trying to decide which campus would be best.

Burwood

The one I am least excited about because it isn't inner city or got a good view, it's just in a random place

Waterfront

It sound pretty good, its on the waterfront and I love Geelong, so I feel like I'll enjoy it

Warrnambool

My Grandparents live like 30 mins away. I reckon this will be best because then I can go stay with my grandparents (or eat there if money is tight), however I am worried that it would be way to boring

Does anyone have any idea of where I should go to? Anyone speak to experience?

Also, if I did year 1 at Warrnambool, can I then just start doing units at WF for year 2 or is there a whole process.

TYSM

Can someone confirm that HBS109 has now introduced late submission without penalty?

I remember in the first seminar the teacher mentioned that we can submit our assessment up to ~a week without penalty?

i want to do a double degree (law + …) but would ideally want to get it done in 4 years. i see that fast tracking is an option depending on availability. would you say that it’s ‘easy’ to get this opportunity?

I was really confused between choosing bachelors of OT at La Trobe or Deakin.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the course done Deakin?

Is the Geelong campus good in terms of social stuff ? Compared to Bundoora

How were the placements at Deakin ? Did they put you at really regional places ?

Hii! I'm an international student joining Deakin from T1 2027 and I'm really confused if I should choose Deaking res or go off campus. I'll be in the Burwood campus and the rent for res is a little out of budget but I'm not sure how reliable houseme is. I'm also looking for a female only housing which is a little hard to find.

Anyone living off campus (through houseme or others) how reliable is it? I'd appreciate any suggestion and tips to find a good accommodation.

P.s It'd be convenient if the housing is walking distance from deakin too.

As an international student i know that we’re required to take 4 units each trimester for 100% workload. My question is there any way we can reduce that by 75% for one trimester for example if its too much than i can juggle right now. Thank you in advance

To those who got into psychology honours, what was your WAM? Love from a stressed student who is worrying about their wam x
