Why did you decide to study at Deakin?

I decided to study at Deakin because Deakin has so many specialised courses for environmental science students. Depending on what your specific interests are in the environmental sciences, Deakin will likely have a degree that can accomodate you. I personally really like the animal related scientific aspect of environmental science, which is why I chose to study a Bachelor of Zoology and Animal Science! However, I also really love conservation, so I chose to study conservation related units as my electives! If you're interested in the environmental sciences then I am happy to tell you what options are available! 😊

I decided to study at Deakin due to the level of academic and non-academic support throughout the university. I found that Deakin really cares about their students and is willing to support them throughout their studies. Deakin also provides loads of support services for when students enter the workforce.

I chose to study at Deakin University for several compelling reasons that collectively made it the ideal institution for my academic pursuits. Firstly, the opportunity to secure a scholarship alleviated financial concerns for me and also affirmed Deakin's commitment to supporting academic excellence. Second key factor for me was the location. The prime location of the Melbourne campus offered a perfect blend of urban vibrancy and natural beauty, enhancing my overall university experience. Additionally, Deakin's world-renowned faculty, comprising experts and scholars presented an invaluable opportunity for learning and mentorship. Their guidance has been instrumental in shaping my academic journey. Lastly, Deakin's strong reputation for academic excellence, innovation, and student support instilled confidence in me that I would receive a high-quality education and ample opportunities for personal and professional growth. Collectively, these factors solidified my decision to study at Deakin University, and I am grateful for the enriching experience it has provided me with.

Deakin offers several scholarships that recognise your academic merit and reduce financial burden. This was really crucial for me as I wanted to be financially independent.

Deakin had a structured course plan for my degree and had amazing career prospects from the degree. The work integrated learning is the icing on top because it lets you gain a lot of practical experience.

It has a very friendly environment. As an international student, I found it quite easy to transition because of the amount of support and warmth in the university.
