"Studying at Deakin University makes me become who I want to be."

"Before I moved to Australia, people told me 'you are going to face the hardest 6 months of your life by finding yourself in a brand-new country'. I’m glad to tell them that they were wrong the whole time. I have never found myself so at home as I do now. The interesting fact about it is not all about the university. It’s about the others who do the same thing which makes me feel comfortable by sharing the same experience."

"The global study environment of Deakin has attracted me to continue my studies. Lecturers are well-informed, caring and supportive. Classes are interactive, fun and motivating. Deakin provides myriad resources to support students and the facilities here are impeccable."

"The atmosphere here is amazing. There are a lot of available spaces that allow students to stay and study whether it's in an open field, buildings, caféss, and so on. The faculty and teaching staff have always been supportive and are always willing to give students a helping hand. Further, I am even confident to say that I have found a friend in them.

Deakin will always hold a special place in my heart as it moulded me holistically and helped me determine and reach my fullest potential."

"Pleasant learning environment, effective teaching styles, amazing staff, classmates and friends, and superb student support programs – all these are what I need as an international student and Deakin has it covered. It’s everything I imagined it to be and more!"

"If you have the courage to start a new journey all alone but with passion and optimism, my friends, you have the courage to make it through anything during your discovery-learning. Deakin is the most supportive family with lots of communities and activities that will keep you busy."

"Here at Deakin, I started a new chapter in my life. And every day, it leads me into the area of teaching, a whole new world for me."
