All Deakin courses are rigorously and continuously evaluated to ensure we offer both students and teachers the best possible educational experience. Our teaching and learning is informed by industry; our courses are guided by design principles and practices, and aligned to eight graduate learning outcomes.
The Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE) investigates how we can best assess higher education learning outcomes in an era of rapid digital change.
From modest beginnings in a Geelong paddock to six state-of-the-art campuses – we’ve always set out to make a difference. Join us on campus throughout 2025 for an exciting lineup of celebratory events to help commemorate our 50 year anniversary.
