Deakin University Waterfront Campus

Founded in 1994, the Waterfront campus is based in downtown Geelong and boasts stunning views of the surrounding Corio Bay. Many of the campus buildings are converted heritage wool stores, lending a historical air to the extensively renovated modern learning environment. Today, the campus has over 4000 students studying more than 200 different Deakin University courses.

At the Geelong Waterfront campus, you'll be in the heart of the action, just a stone's throw away from the Geelong CBD and on the doorstep of the Great Ocean Road and Victorian surf coast.
