What this episode’s about

If you’re considering Deakin University, there are several areas where Deakin has a particularly strong reputation, from sport science and health sciences to forensic science, criminology and psychology. In this episode, I look at some of the courses and study areas that make Deakin worth considering when you're comparing universities.

I cover:

  • Why is Deakin University known for sport science? Deakin is ranked highly internationally for sport science, making it a university worth investigating if you're interested in a career in sport, exercise, human movement or the broader sports industry.

  • What other courses is Deakin known for? I look at areas including forensic science, criminology, psychology, nursing and health sciences, and the career areas these courses can lead into.

  • What can you study in Deakin's business courses? I discuss some of Deakin's business offerings that allow students to combine business with areas such as psychology, marketing and human resource management.

  • Can you study marine science at Deakin? I talk about Deakin's marine science opportunities and what students interested in marine and environmental science can explore — although you may need to be prepared for some very cold water!

  • What is it like to study nursing or midwifery at Deakin? I also mention my previous podcast episode with Lauren, Associate Head of School, Teaching and Learning at Deakin's School of Midwifery and Nursing, where we talk in more detail about studying these areas at Deakin.

If you're comparing Deakin University with other Victorian universities, this episode will help you explore Deakin's areas of strength, course options and the types of careers and interests its courses can support.
