English
deakin.edu.au/post-english

For some students, Deakin will recognise

your previous studies in English as being
enough to meet your course's English
language requirements.

with the minimum IELTS scores for entry
into each course. Check your course to see
what the English language requirement is.
If you have taken an English test other

requirements.
Qualified students who need help with
their English will receive a conditional
offer that allows you to study at the
Deakin University English Language

complete the necessary English
language programs at DUELI, you will
gain direct entry to your course at
Deakin.

critical thinking crucial in cultural and
policy contexts around the world.

Our humanities and social science courses are

Degree programs with an international perspective

Our faculty of leading scholars and industry professionals can

that is right for you. Through this program
you develop an extensive, cross-disciplinary
knowledge of heritage principles and
practice across a range of disciplines,
as well as an awareness of community
sensitivities. Practical experience is a key

INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
Information technology is key to
society's economic growth and
well-being and has become ubiquitous
and pervasive in our lives. In a
connected world with emerging
intelligent machines it is exciting to
contemplate making a contribution.
As jobs and roles change, completing a
Deakin postgraduate IT course can be
one of the best ways to prepare yourself
for the future.
Professional recognition

Professional accreditation by the Australian Computer Society

(ACS) means your degree is recognised by industry, resulting in
stronger job outcomes. Deakins IT courses give you the option to
study units that lead to Cisco certification, giving you a relevant,
practical qualification, as well as an advantage over other
graduates when applying for jobs.

Maintaining relevance

Deakin recognises the importance of being closely aligned with

industry and maintains strong links with leading organisations
such as IBM, EON Reality, Telstra, ANZ and government agencies.
These organisations provide us with curriculum advice, keeping our
courses current and relevant to industry needs, which is key in a
sector that is changing constantly.

Modern facilities with the latest technology

Deakin continually invests in its facilities and IT programs, ensuring

you have access to the latest software and technologies in fully
equipped computer labs.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

IT is changing the ways in which we

communicate, exercise and stay healthy; how
we form relationships; how we learn; how we
do business; how we invest; how we collect
information and monitor our environments;
how medicine is practiced; how engineering is
done; and how we entertain ourselves.

My favourite subject was a master's

unit called Digital Forensics. Everything
that we were taught we were able to
actually practice in our computer labs
using a variety of different tools and
software, which was really fun.

WHAT CAN I STUDY?

Master of Psychology (Clinical)

POSTGRADUATE PATHWAYS TO FULL REGISTRATION

To obtain registration as a provisional psychologist, you need
to complete four years of academic study in psychology that is
recognised by the Psychology Board of Australia. This usually
consists of an approved three-year undergraduate psychology
sequence followed by an approved fourth year of study (such
as Deakins Graduate Diploma of Psychology or honours in

Australian Psychological Society (APS).
To gain full registration, provisional psychologists must then
complete either two years of supervised practice or a minimum
two years of further study (with supervised practice completed
outside the degree). This further study enables you to specialise
through a Master of Psychology or Doctor of Psychology degree.

This Deakin program provides students

with a broad set of clinical skills in a range
of assessment and therapy models. Based
on an integrative approach to clinical
psychology that emphasises evidencebased practice, the program has been
designed in consultation with our industry
partners to enable you to develop the
academic, practical and research skills
necessary to register as a psychologist and
to practise as a clinical psychologist.

CHEMISTS CLICK ONTO PROMISING TB TREATMENT

SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT

Deakin materials chemist Dr Luke Henderson and his team have discovered
a promising group of molecules that target and kill TB bacteria that could
lead to a much needed new treatment option. Over the past 12 months, Dr
Henderson, a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Frontier Materials,
has been researching the molecules TB-fighting potential with his PhD
students Jarrad Altimari and Samantha Hockey.
The researchers have used the pioneering approach to chemistry called click
chemistry which enables substances to be generated quickly by joining
small modular units together, like Lego, and is proving to have outstanding
applications in areas ranging from materials sciences and polymer chemistry,
to pharmaceuticals. Their next step will be to focus on understanding how the
molecules select and kill TB bacteria and whether they may cause side effects.
