Hi all, I'm in my 3rd year majoring in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Heard that it's possible to go straight to doing a PhD after finishing my degree. Looking for inputs from people that have done so before, maybe in different majors too.

What are the requirements, is it WAM-based, or research?

How do I get into research?

How do I apply for the PhD program and are there many scholarships?

Greatly appreciate any comments!

On a side note, would you say it is more worthwhile going into academia or industry as an electrical engineer in the Melbourne area now? I am still really on the fence and running out of time. I need to source a placement for my WIL soon too, wondering if that could be at a research facility?

Hi, I'm an international masters student (Info Systems) enrolled to Juoy intake 2026 who missed Orientation. My first Uni day is tomorrow (6th July). Since I missed the orientation should I first go to Student Central? What should I do before going to my first lecture ?

Hi all, I was just wondering whether Deakin did free Linkedin headshots and if so, when. Thanks!

Hey guys, just curious surrounding the course structure of this degree.

I'm currently in my final sem of a Bachelor of Criminology and wanting to transfer into Psych related degrees, I'm also moving to Europe for a while so just curious for those who have studied this course, does the course have any live attendance lectures or in person exams?

Hey guys, does anyone know if I need a new Deakin card if I transferred courses? Thanks

Hi,
I’m enrolled in HSE104 (Research Methods and Statistics in Exercise and Sport)

There is no info available about assignments.
Can anyone give me an idea on what sort of assignments this unit has? how many?

I’m also interested to know if it’s a hard unit, i usually only do 3 per trimester but have heard this is easy.
I want some insight if it would be easy enough to pick this up on top of my other 3, as 3 was ideal for me last tri and i don’t want to overwhelm myself.
Thanks !

So just got my T1 results and one of them is RW, I’m so confused because the last exam was an online supervised one with minimal materials and I followed all the rules. It was a biostatistics test so they allowed pen, paper and a calculator, I obviously had to look down to calculate so I’m thinking maybe I looked down for too long, idk. Has anyone experienced this because it’s my last tri and I need the results for masters starting soon!!
I also haven’t received any formal allegation, they said they’re investigating whether a breach has occurred.
Has anyone been in this pre-allegation stage and if so how long did it take before you heard back??

I’m so confused about my result

I got A1 with 84% (worth 50% unit), however, my final overall result on 44 which I failed the unit.

The exam is worth 50%, there is no way that I can review my work. I have applied for reviewing my exam.

Is there any mistake that they made it? Also I checked turnitin and it’s only 6%.

Please give me some advice 😭

Hey! I keep getting feedback that the style of my writing is a bit too casual and not detailed enough. I have all of the necessary information and explain each area of the assessment but they describe it as brief.

I have seen ss. My recent feedback is that I am being more technical in my wording, but now I am struggling with conciseness (I am wofting on to make it sound more technical).

Does anyone have any advice? I am not much of an academic. social work. Thanks.

I got 3 HDS and 1 D.

There is no lecture on the star time table. However, there are lecture recording tabs with no pre recordings. Furthermore, there is no reading list, just lecture slides? Anyone who has done this can you let me know.

Cheers

Hiii I’m a first year law student and I am looking for some advice on what non law electives to pick, that are also wam boosters. Pls share your experience:)

Hi everyone,

I received an N in my elective after experiencing ongoing Azure issues that delayed two assessment submissions. I repeatedly sought help, and my unit chair even requested additional Azure credits for my account. In the end, I created my own paid Azure subscription to complete and submit the assignments.

However, the assignments weren't marked before I had to submit my portfolio, and I ended up with an N. I've now emailed the unit chair and submitted a Review of Results.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What was the outcome?

Hi guys, just got results and one of my core units ended up being resulted N. I was supposed to do an another unit T2 which had the pre req of the one that I didn’t pass. I was suppose to graduate next yr mid T1 but since the class that I failed only runs T1 I hv to wait till next yr n do a whole extra semester. Has this happened to anyone or is there any way around it. I had some personal issues happening this term and I really do not wanna drag out my grad for next yr. 🙏🙏

Just calculated my final WAM for my bachelors in Exercise and Sports Science and yeah I will be graduating with a 68.08% which is so agonizingly close to a D…like its a bittersweet feeling.. on one hand im pretty proud of myself for seeing the end of the light but dang its so close! How was everyone else’s?

did anyone receive their email regarding successful course transfer or not? i’m just wondering if its going to be released today or tmr since week 1 is starting soon!!!
