On-campus pathways
Deakin College and the Deakin University English Language Institute (DUELI) are located on Deakin’s campuses in Melbourne and Geelong. These on-campus pathway options offer top quality programs that can help you meet the entry requirements of your chosen degree.
Choosing to study at Deakin College or DUELI means that you will be a part of the Deakin community, and have access to all of Deakin’s on-campus facilities and services before you start your degree.
Deakin University English Language Institute
Studying at Deakin University English Language Institute (DUELI) will give you the English language skills you need to start your Deakin University degree. If you meet the academic requirements for your degree, but not the English language requirements, then you are automatically eligible for placement at DUELI.
DUELI offers a range of course options and is located on both the Melbourne Burwood Campus and Geelong Waterfront Campus.
Deakin College
Deakin College is a pathway to Deakin University for students who do not meet the academic entry requirements for their Deakin University degree, or who need to bridge the gap between previous study and university.
A Deakin College diploma is equal to the first year of a Deakin University undergraduate degree. Successfully completing a Deakin College diploma can provide you with a direct guaranteed pathway into the second year of your chosen Deakin University degree.
You can find Deakin College at Deakin’s Melbourne Burwood Campus, Geelong Waterfront Campus and Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus. Deakin College also has an international campus in Jakarta, Indonesia.
At DUELI, I actively communicated with people from different countries by using what I learnt in DUELI classes. I improved a lot in my English and made many friends who come from different cultures, expanding my ways of multicultural thinking, which built a very solid foundation for my study at Deakin University.
