Deakin University Geelong Waterfront Campus

The campus is so peaceful and amazing. Glad that I got the chance to attend some lectures from cool professors.

I suffered at least four gross injustices during my time at Deakin:1) The cut off date for internal transfer into a course was many months prior to the closing date for new applicants. When I inquired as to the reason for this discrimination, I was told (IKYN) that I am just an evil person who wants to break rules.2) Contracts for on campus accommodation require students to pay out the full term even though if they choose to leave they are, a) no longer allowed to use the room, and b) not allowed to find another tenant for the room. Obviously this makes it extremely hard to leave.3) There is a pervasive culture that students are expected to kowtow to staff. I was threatened with a write up for being abusive to staff, even though I was careful not to be abusive, but challenging any decision or policy is apparently deemed abuse.4) The rubrics for many assessments are so vague (Ba Design) that assessors can practically give any grade they please without much more than token accountability. I had one assessment marked as P by one assessor and HD by another. The fact that that such a great difference is possible based on professional opinion" speaks volumes as to how much real content was in the (2 credit point!) unit in the first place.In case you think I am just a whinging

Yeah it's a nice place, staff are great but seriously, 0 out of 10 not having a backup generator in case of a power outage. Please get a backup generator! Graduation ceremonies had to be delayed because of the power outage in Geelong and this exposed the fact that Deakin has no backup generators here. The hallways were dark and there were people bumping into each other and one lady even tripped and fell on the floor.

Bringing an honest review. University is great if coming towards study, infrastructure and other things but i have faced so many problems from administration. Everything could be delayed by them that can be either your course completion letter or it can be your transcripts as well. Really disappointed with the administration of geelong campus.

Wonderful graduation ceremony. Full of pomp and historical ceremony. Very well organised.

This is the famous Geelong Waterfront directly in front of the Deakin Waterfront University. If you are visiting the region, I would highly recommend coming here early in the morning say 7 to 8 am to truly enjoy a stroll along the waterfront without the crowd. You would then experience the real beauty of this attractions... Peace , tranquility and the mesmerizing view of the sea with the you yang mountain as the backdrop... people jogging... Walking the dog... Sitting at the lawn enjoying the sun. This is Geelong at its best.

Great uni. Great facilities. Highly recommended.

I came from Melbourne Uni and visited the Geelong Waterfront Campus for only 1 day. To me as an outlandish visitor, this campus had spectacular ocean view and compact architecture design. I gave only 4 stars to match the current average rating because there were so many reviews that complain about teaching and staffs behaviours.

As an retired Oncology and Haematology Medical Specialist, with a life long off university bound. I wish I could have what student at Deakin Waterfront campus have today.It is at a best location, has awesome view, greatest infra structures and excellent staff and supporting personals making the Uni so welcoming and so invitingI am very pleased that I am offering my Buddhist Spiritual Pastoral Care Service as a Buddhist Chaplain at this campus.May everyone sentient beings at this campus be well, happy and free from any suffering, free from all danger and every disease.May the power and blessing of the triple gem guide and protect everyone

The Waterfront campus is a beautiful building and definitely the ideal location to study Architecture and the Built Environment! A view like no other!It's stunning accents and light filled spaces make it very easy to feel good on campus. With a solid combination of indoor and outdoor environments for all concerned.The education will be personal preference, but I love their approach to aiding self-guided learning.
