Learn more about one of the world's most liveable cities - the place you'll call home if you choose to study at the Melbourne Burwood campus.
The Melbourne Burwood Campus is Deakin University’s main campus, where around 26,000 students and 1,500 staff meet every day.
The campus hosts a wide range of facilities and services that are available to all Deakin College students, so you can be fully immersed in the Deakin University experience from day one.
With the city centre only 16km away, you can truly get the best of both worlds. Enjoy all the benefits of Melbourne’s busy metropolis while studying in beautiful architecturally designed buildings amid quiet green parklands.
As a Deakin College student, you’ll attend classes in a purpose-built centre in the heart of the campus. But you’ll probably spend just as much time in the campus’s many study and breakout areas for socialising and relaxing. It’s all about balance!
The campus is also home to the DeakinACTIVE sporting facilities, cafes, and an impressive library.
