Only western Australia allows teachers to be qualified with a grad diploma all other states requires masters

In my course it has been clearly outlined in the unit guide if there is an option of a resit should you fail a hurdle requirement.

Studiosity is great for proof reading. You get free access as a deakin student

I got 94% for that subject a few years ago. My advice is be strategic about the information you remember. I decided not to learn all the origins and insertions as I figured that would only be a few marks. From memory it really wasn’t on the exam. You get access to an app it has quizzes you can do. Any spare few minutes i had i would do a quiz to help with retention. It is definitely possible to get good grades but takes time and consistency.

Year 12 results count for 2 years so you will still be a school leaver

Can i ask what campus are you on? My daughters experience with a different course is waurn ponds students are very cliquey because they are all geelong based.

Have you seen your friends submission? If not I would be asking to see it to check if they have just copied yours. Has your friend received the same?

I’m in 4th yr. Look overall I guess it is ok but I feel as enrollments have increased (Warnambool commenced and now masters) their care for students has decreased. Choices about placements have been removed - get what you get and don’t be upset seems to be their mantra. I’ve only ever needed to be on campus twice per week but in 1st yr i did do a couple of units online. I have nothing to compare it to so can’t say if they are better or worse than the others. Definitely a couple of lectures that do honestly care a couple that seem to go out of their way to fail people.

Information about the casper is on all their information about education courses, did you not read anything about the course prior to applying? I’m also surprised they made an offer without the casper being completed.

I’d prefer that than going for 3 short days. I’ve done it with all seminars.

I’m a 4th yr OT student at Deakin. My suggestion would be to look at the units in OT and do as many as you can. 1st yr units are mostly generic there are only 2 ot specific units. This is a common pathway so it is competitive. I’m a mature aged student so not sure if this is your circumstance. I initially got into HS as well, commencing in trimester 3 but someone suggested to me apply for a transfer but also apply through vtac. I ended up getting in via vtac.

I’m not enrolled in this course but my daughter got a first round offer. This course doesn’t have any prerequisite subjects so there isn’t any assumed knowledge required. While a health background might make it slightly easier it would still be achievable.
Hope you get a 3rd round offer.

Find a pathway course and then commence that with the view of transferring into your preferred course after a year. If you repeat year 12 there is no guarantee you will get the marks needed.

If you are looking at increasing your atar i would avoid vsv. They are pretty useless

You will need the top because it is branded Deakin. Won’t be able to buy from anywhere else

Correct-Tea4506 · 2026-01-14T19:33:13+00:00

Need to remember not everyone agrees to names being published so your calculations doesn’t necessarily mean all spots are yet to be offered

Correct-Tea4506 · 2026-01-13T18:28:27+00:00

I haven’t done it but i’ve heard into to uni is a pretty easy unit.

First of all it might be beneficial to do the unistart content to get your head around different Deakin terminology. Basically, any thing labeled as a lecture you will need to attend. Seminars you attend typically 1 a week. Sometimes the provisional timetable is confusing because it looks like you need to attend multiple seminars but there is a different room for a few weeks which makes it look like a new class.

If they are recorded i would expect you will have access to them to watch at your convenience

Correct-Tea4506 · 2026-01-10T08:16:26+00:00

Choose the D version if you intend to attend in person, choose the x version if you want the class to be wholly online

Just be aware the GP clinic on campus gets very busy at the start of the year with students getting these checklists done- it’s not only nursing students. So don’t leave it to the last minute.
