Deakin University
Deakin University is a public research university in the state of Victoria, Australia. Its largest campus is in Victoria's capital Melbourne, with regional campuses in Geelong and Warrnambool. The university was named after Alfred Deakin, the early Prime Minister of Australia and a founding father of Australian Federation.
The university's foundation dates back to the opening of the Gordon Memorial Technical College in 1887, later renamed as the Gordon Institute of Technology in 1921. It's higher education portion merged with the Geelong campus of the State College of Victoria in 1974 to form Deakin University.
As of 2024,[update] Deakin University is ranked among the top 1% of universities in the world, with some of its disciplines ranked within the world's top 100. Deakin Business School has accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and EQUIS.
Deakin University consistently ranks highly in student satisfaction. Deakin has had the highest undergraduate student satisfaction ratings and in the top two for highest postgraduate student satisfaction out of all Victorian universities every year since 2010.
Deakin University was established as a merger between State College of Victoria, Geelong (formerly Geelong Teachers College), and the higher education courses of the Gordon Institute of Technology, which originally opened in 1887 as the Gordon Memorial Technical College. The vocational part of the Gordon continues separately as the Gordon Institute of TAFE.
Deakin University was formally established with the passage of the Deakin University Act 1974. Deakin University's first campus was established at Waurn Ponds, previously a campus of the Gordon Institute of Technology.
The Burwood campus is on the site of the former Burwood Teachers' College (established in 1954). That college conducted two-year training courses for primary school teachers, and three year courses for infant teachers (females only).[citation needed]
As part of the Dawkins education reforms that were announced in 1988 by the Commonwealth government, a merger with Warrnambool Institute of Advanced Education took place in 1990, which was followed by a merger with most of Victoria College in 1991, including its campuses in Burwood, Malvern and Clayton.
