Deakin University

Deakin runs four physical campuses plus a sizeable online cohort branded Deakin Cloud Campus. Burwood is the largest, in Melbourne's east, with most of the business, IT, education, communication and arts cohort. Geelong Waterfront sits on Corio Bay in central Geelong and houses architecture, urbanism and parts of business. Geelong Waurn Ponds, the original Deakin site 10 kilometres west of Geelong, is the engineering, medicine and nursing precinct, sharing ground with the Carbon Nexus carbon fibre research facility. Warrnambool, three hours south-west of Melbourne, is a small regional campus focused on nursing and social work. Accommodation runs through Deakin Residential Services at Burwood, Waurn Ponds, Waterfront and Warrnambool. The Deakin University Student Association runs more than 100 clubs on the physical campuses. The Cloud Campus, established in 2014, delivers more than half of Deakin's student load entirely online and is one of the most developed online programmes in Australia. The Deakin Sport programme runs an A-League and W-League partnership and the university has a strong applied sport science culture.
