Deakin Campus Tours

There's only one way to choose a university - you've got to experience it yourself. We are excited to announce that Deakin is open for campus tours! Deakin Campus Tours will allow students and their families to experience their preferred Deakin University campus through a tailored tour, during the April school holidays. Guests will join a one-hour tour with knowledgeable and friendly current Deakin students to get a first-hand look at their cutting-edge facilities and have all their questions answered. The school holiday program will be held at all four Deakin campuses: Burwood, Waurn Ponds, Waterfront and Warrnambool.
