The Deakin College Foundation Program is equivalent to upper secondary school (Year 12) and university foundation programs. It aims to prepare students for further study in a Deakin College Diploma or for entry into the first year of a selected Deakin University bachelor degree.

The course consists of either a standard or extended track program. The standard track program consists of eight academic units: five core units and three elective units. The extended track program has an additional four units.

Various support services focusing on language, literacy and numeracy assistance are also available to help students in their studies. Each unit includes four hours of classes per week. Assessment for all units is continuous and includes tests, assignments and case study analysis. Most units have a final two-hour examination. To graduate from the Deakin College Foundation Program, students must complete and pass all eight units in the standard program or 12 units in the extended program.

The Diploma of Commerce is a student's stepping stone to a wide range of career options across private and public-sector organisations. Enter directly into the second year of Bachelor of Commerce (many majors available), Sport Management, Business Analytics, Law, or Property and Real Estate.

Students will gain all the foundational knowledge to pursue further study in areas like accounting, business law, economics, finance, international business, marketing and management at Deakin University.

Students secure a competitive legal edge with hands-on experience in the dynamic real estate industry with Deakin's Bachelor of Property and Real Estate/Bachelor of Laws. Students will gain a top-ranked legal education with skills across property investment, valuation, development and management.

Deakin University's unique combined course gives them professionally recognised qualifications in both property and law, unlocking exciting career options. It allows students to mix and match study specialisations from straight property law through to mediation, contracts management and liquidation. Hands-on learning opportunities will ensure they are ready to thrive in both fields and where law and property intersect. From internships at law firms to working on real cases at Deakin Law Clinic, they'll earn the experience they need to enter the workforce with confidence.
