How to apply steps
Find your course
Associate degrees
Our associate degrees offer an alternative way to begin your university study. You'll get additional support and have a guaranteed pathway into select Deakin bachelor degrees.
Language diplomas
Learning a language gives you insight into different cultures, develops your adaptability and communication skills, and can make you more employable.
Understand the entry requirements
Before starting your application, read through the entry requirements tab on the course page.
Check what supporting documentation you’ll need
Extra documents vary from course to course. Check the course entry requirements and read our preparing your application page for more information. If you're applying for an associate degree of Arts or Education degree, you'll need to write a personal statement.

Has your education been impacted by challenging circumstances?
When preparing your course application, research your eligibility for special consideration. Special consideration, sometimes referred to as the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS), recognises what you would have achieved if your studies had not been disrupted by difficult circumstances.
Find out if you can apply for a scholarship
When you’re applying for a course, it’s a good idea to browse our available scholarships – you may be eligible for more than one. We offer undergraduate scholarships in a number of study areas to support you on your journey at Deakin.
Find out if your work or study experience can be recognised
Recognition of prior learning (RPL) is Deakin’s way of recognising the hard work you’ve already put into your studies or career. Through RPL you may be able to have your work and study experience recognised with course credit points, reducing your course duration and tuition costs.
Use our RPL calculator to learn what credit you might be eligible for
