I'm an international student and I'm looking into applying to Deakin University. Does anyone know what the application form process is like? Any details on the required documents and deadlines would be great!
Deakin University in Australia has a smooth application process for international students. You'll need to apply directly through Deakin University's online application portal. Through this platform, you can submit your application, track its progress, and upload the required documents.
As for the required documents, typically you will need to provide:
1. Certified copies of your academic transcripts and graduation certificates from any higher education institution you've attended.
2. Proof of English language proficiency. Most students use an IELTS, Cambridge, or PTE Academic score. The minimum scores vary depending on the program, so you'll want to check specifically for your intended major.
3. If you're applying for a course that has additional selection requirements, you may also need to provide a portfolio, personal statement, or references.
For deadlines, it's a bit flexible for international students. Generally, you should aim to have everything in no later than two months before the start of the trimester. Deakin University runs three trimesters a year, typically starting in March, July, and November.
Also, some courses have their own specific deadlines or may start in a specific trimester only, so it's ideal to check on the course page for these details. Also, keep in mind visa processing times—you'll want to make sure you allow sufficient time for your student visa to be processed before your course start date.
Good luck with your application!
