About Deakin College

Deakin College has been in partnership with Deakin University since 1996 and has had a campus in Jakarta since 1999. Deakin College is a popular choice for both Australian and International students and provides quality pathway programs to over 70 undergraduate and postgraduate Deakin University courses.

From trimester 1 2022, we offer both online and on-campus classes!

Deakin College offers:

  • A Foundation Year which leads into Deakin College Diplomas or selected 1st year degree programs at Deakin University.
  • Diploma programs in Business, Commerce, Communication, Construction Management, Design, Engineering, Film Television and Animation, Health Sciences, Information Technology and Science, which lead into second year Bachelor degrees at Deakin University.

The Jakarta campus is located in a modern building in Slipi, Jakarta Barat.  Deakin College courses are also conducted on three Deakin University campuses in Victoria, Australia: Melbourne Burwood Campus, Geelong Waurn Ponds and Waterfront Campuses.

There are many avenues of help and support throughout your trimesters with Deakin College. If you find yourself having difficulty in a unit, you should contact your lecturer and organise a time to meet for consultation.

One – but this will take a very long time to finish your course!  We recommend students take three or four units per trimester.

Once you have accepted your offer to study with us, you will be choosing your subjects during our Orientation.

No. Because of the flexible nature of the program it is possible to progress to new units whilst retaking those which have not been passed. As three trimesters of study can be completed in one calendar year, students who do not pass one or more units can get back ‘on track’ without loss of time
