Do you want to boost your ATAR, a rank which indicates the overall achievements of all Year 12 students in Australia, and get a preview of university life? When you join the Deakin Accelerate Program, you'll get a head start by completing two first-year university units while you're still a high school student.
How Deakin Accelerate Program works
You'll study two first-year university units through the program. If you choose to study and experience university life on campus, you'll attend classes and conferences during the day. Or if studying online is more accessible for you, complete the program online in your free time at school or after hours when it suits you.
No matter how you choose to study, you'll benefit from our online learning platform, which allows you to access classes, workshops, resources and more. Whether you're using your desktop, tablet or mobile, you'll have access to course content all year round and get answers in real time.
After successfully completing your Accelerate units, you'll gain credits which you can put towards a related Deakin university course. Plus, there is no charge for that.
