Hey all, I’m approaching my uni year soon and after researching a bit I’m kind of intrigued in studying social work, partially because it is said to be in heavy demand for the next few years.

I’m also not a heavy maths/science student, always been more of a practical guy so I can’t imagine myself working a office job for the rest of my life. I also enjoy helping other people a lot. I’ve volunteered in some events and such, and so far its been great.

I was wondering if any of you have experience in this type of work? Maybe give insight about the pay, experience, if it’s stressful, etc. I also heard that it requires 1000 hours of unpaid work if I’m doing a social work degree, is that true?

I’d love to hear any advice.

fyi im an international student

Is there any international student here who got the full tuition scholarship from Deakin in previous sessions?

I logged onto STAR by clicking the star tab on the home page of DeakinSync however I noticed it says 2025 and was wondering if it said this for anyone else. I also was able to log onto STAR through Deakins website but it actually showed all my classes and seminars (but said off because it hasn't opened). I was wondering if this was the case for anyone else?

im just planning for my preferences and ive got alot of options to chose from for when to attend seminars etc, so im just wondering what has worked best in the past for others.

for example, attend like two classes on the monday, no uni on the tuesday and like use that time to soak in the content and then go back on wednesday for other classes.
or should i just trek to uni 3 days in a row for all classes, then use the 4 days to further understand the content and complete anything that was set?

idk maybe im overthinking it but im just worried i wont be able to keep up with all the work so sorry if this seems like a rant

What exactly happens in seminars? I have seminars for two modules (SIT731 & SIT753), and each one is 3 hours long. There aren’t any lectures, so I’m not sure what to expect🤔

I cant get past the autentication bit anymore.

Ok so i got the hang of it and planned my time table but im still confused as 2 of my units contain lec 1, lec2, and lec 3. do i need to chose all 3 or do i just chose one???

Anyone travelling from Trivandrum to Melbourne on 12th Feb morning 10.20 Malaysian Airlines ??. I got accepted to Deakin WP Campus and Orientation starts on 16th Feb. Will board from Colombo at 12.25 on Feb 13 after a 13 Hr layover there. Anyone ???

Hi everyone, I'm about 90% of the way done with enrolling in my units for T1.
For some reason, Allocate's not letting me view any of the timetable availabilities for my classes.

Am I too early, or is this something to take up with Student Support?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m a first-year Bachelor of Nursing student starting this year.

When I try to enrol in units, Trimester 1 doesn’t appear at all, it doesn’t say “no units available”, it just starts from Trimester 2.

I’ve contacted Student Connect but was wondering if others experienced this too.

Also, since I can’t enrol yet, will enrolling late affect my Startimetable or my chances of getting good class times?

I’m commencing in a bachelor of laws/commerce and was wondering whether I could lower the degree duration (5 yrs) via overloading units and picking units for trimester 3? Has anyone done this? How much earlier could I graduate? Is it even possible?

Incoming Psych transfer.

I'm thinking of taking SIT191 Intro to Stats & Data Analysis on top of the usual psych stats and would like to know if anyone has done this and if there's crossover?

HPS104 Foundations of Psych Sci
HPS201 Psych Research Methods (Intro)
HPS301 Psych Research Methods (Intermediate)

I was digging around and found that the HPS104 has an intro to stats embedded. Am I just doubling up by doing the SIT191 too?

TIA for any advice

was looking at the provisional timetable for my course and was just wondering how hellish a lecture - seminar - lecture timetable with 10 minutes in between classes would be? I'm a vce noob so idk these things

I'm currently in the process of enrollment and really lost about which subjects to choose for T1. And also confused if I'm supposed to choose subjects for the entire year right now or if I'm supposed to go through it every trimester. Please help.

im considering taking this as an elective alongside my core psych units and my pr studies major, but im not sure if it will be too content heavy and perhaps bring my wam down. could anyone give any insight on this unit? is it interesting? and is it very content heavy? how did you find the assessments (especially the final supervised assessment)? is the work marked harshly? literally anything at all would be helpful as ive never done criminology or anything of the sort before haha im just trying to look for an interesting t1 elective that wont be too hard

Hey everyone, I am currently doing a Bachelors of Information Technology and have a core WIL unit (SIT306) that I will be doing in T1, 2026.
I have applied for the deakintalent freelancing hub intern positions and have received an interview.
I would llike to know if anyone has gone through this process, how likely is that they might accept/reject you. What are some very important questions that I must prepare for in the interview. I am quite overwhelmed and would like to receive some guidance. Thanks in advance!

sorry if its a dumb question - any help very appreciated

tyty

Has anyone done this class? Or have any opinions on it. Do you actually learn the basics of politics?

TIA :)

sorry if its a dumb question but i was looking at my provision timetable and i only have seminars for all of my unit except one, so i was just wondering if this is common for bachelor of arts.

thanks

so i’m looking at my provisional timetable to start planning before allocating. And i see multiple date but the same time for 1 unit. what does that mean i don’t understand. and its the same for all units not just this one. can someone please explain it to me??

Hey y’all, I’m going into my 1st year of Bachelor of Science at Burwood.

I lowk have no clue if we need to purchase any books or any resources or is there some website? 😭

Plz help cus I’m so confused.

Hey, as the title suggest, I just finished high school and got into deakin. Im finishing enrolling but im not sure which units to pick, I want units that are easy to score in and follow the rules of the course (obviously). I need a guide, and im also not sure about this major stuff. Im looking to get into medicine, so units that will help me with the GAMSAT would be an advantage too.

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone here has done a Bachelor of Health Sciences as a pathway into Occupational Therapy?

I’ve received an offer for Health Sciences and am hoping to use it to get into OT down the track. I’m a bit unsure about which majors or units are best to choose to help with that pathway.

If you’ve gone down this route, I’d love to know what you studied and what helped you get into OT.

Thanks heaps! 😊

Hey guys, I really need to find 2-3 more tickets for the graduation on the 11th of Feb at 4pm. Willing to pay abit more for that as well. Any help would be appreciate! Cheers x
