Snapshot of Deakin 

On Tuesday 20th February the Pathways team visited the Waurn Ponds Campus of Deakin University, in Geelong. This campus is home to courses like Optometry, Forensics, Medicine, Sports Science and Engineering. We were able to listen to current and past students who talked about their experiences at Deakin in areas such as medicine, nursing, architecture and forensics. We went on tours around the campus and explored various faculties like Marine Science, Engineering, Optometry and Education.
