Description:
Located in Victoria, the smallest mainland state in Australia, Deakin University is one of the top-ranked research universities in Australia. Deakin was named 'University of the Year' in 1995 for its 'use of technology and teaching in learning' and also won the same award in 1999/2000 for 'outstanding partnerships and training.' It is the first time in the history of the award that a university has won the title twice. One of Australia's largest universities, Deakin University's 28,000 students have access to innovative courses, developed in close consultation with industry and professional groups which ensure that they are practical, relevant, and up-to-date. The picturesque Geelong campus is set on a large site of more than 750 acres with landscaped gardens, extensive lawns and many trees. The campus is a short bus ride to the center of Geelong. With the world-famous surf coast only a short distance from the campus, many students choose to live in nearby coastal townships. Study Australia offers students the chance to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji before heading to their host campus. These optional trips provide the comfort of a group atmosphere along with trained guides from highly reputable tour providers that specialize in student travel. Fall Semester participants can choose between two tour options. Bond University participants may join Study Australia on a 4-day Fiji Island Adventure. Other Fall semester participants can explore the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland. Spring Semester participants can participate on three additional pre-semester trips. Students can explore the natural wonders and extreme activities on a 7-day venture through the South Island of New Zealand. Surf through a 6-day trip from Sydney to Byron Bay stopping at some of the most pristine beaches in Australia. Explore Tropical Far North Queensland and the city of Cairns, where the reef meets the rainforest, on this 7-day trip.
Highlights:
The Study Australia program includes a 5-day group orientation (for most of our sites), guaranteed, fully furnished, and prearranged housing for you entire stay abroad, a Resident Director and much more. In 1995, the Federal Government's Quality Assurance Committee for Teaching and Learning ranked Deakin in the top tier of Australian universities. More recently, Deakin has achieved a five-star rating, for the fourth successive year, in the Graduate Careers Council study of student satisfaction. Deakin University's academic staff is highly qualified and has extensive international experience. Recruited from Australia and more than 40 other countries, all staff members are committed to helping students gain maximum value from their time at Deakin University.
