Admission Requirements
- Deakin course code S308. Academic minimum for recent school leavers: an unadjusted ATAR of at least 50, or the overseas equivalent. Deakin says this is a minimum: meeting it does not guarantee a place, and your full academic history is considered
- Year 12 prerequisites (VCE Units 3 and 4): a study score of at least 25 in English EAL or 20 in any other English, and a study score of at least 20 in Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics or General Mathematics (or the equivalent)
- English: IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0, or an equivalent such as recent study in English. If you meet the academic entry requirements but not the English one, you can do a DUELI English pathway program, and Deakin College offers a guaranteed pathway for students who miss the academic requirement
