International students, join this program to feel more connected to your Deakin community

Our international students are such an important part of the Deakin family and we’re so excited to be able to welcome you back in growing numbers this year.

Whether you’re settling into life in Australia, you’ve returned after an absence or you’re studying from overseas, we want you to feel like you belong at Deakin. A positive mindset will help you to succeed at your studies but will also ensure that you enjoy your university experience – and that’s just as important!

That’s why we encourage you to sign up for our free 10-week Connect. Engage. Thrive program, which is all about nurturing your wellbeing. You’ll build healthy habits and start to thrive at Deakin by meeting students from a range of backgrounds, having fun, learning about Australian culture and feeling your best.

How it works

The program gives you the chance to take part in any or all of the following activities:

The more activities you do, the more people you’ll meet and the more you’ll learn about how to stay motivated, in control and balanced while you study. You’ll also receive a weekly newsletter full of tips, news and resources, as well as a health and wellbeing pack at the end of the program.

Most of these activities will also be available online, so even if you’re not currently in Australia you can still participate and build connections with other students.

What are you waiting for? Strengthen your sense of belonging at Deakin and discover how to connect, engage and thrive in Trimester 1! Register now.
