Deakin University / DU

Founded in 1974

With over 40 years of experience as one of Australia’s leading tertiary education providers, Deakin University won numerous awards and teaches over 53,000 students each year. We offer our students world-class programs and endless opportunities.

Deakin is known as a globally connected university, with five popular campuses – including an online Cloud Campus – and technology-rich learning centres across outer metropolitan Melbourne. With internationally recognised quality of research and teaching, Deakin ranked 213 in the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) putting Deakin in the top 2% of the world’s universities.

At the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership, researchers and students are working towards addressing some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Through teaching, research, policy development and innovation for the humanitarian sector the Centre strives to better serve communities affected by crisis with more responsive, efficient and relevant actions. The Centre aims to transform the way the humanitarian workforce is led, how humanitarian organisations operate, and challenging current approaches to humanitarian crisis response. The Centre is a collaboration between Deakin and Save the Children Australia.

Deakin's Centee for Humanitarian Leadership Offers a programme and inidividual courses that are very well aligned with the NOHA programme aims and set up. The Centre is built on a close collaboration between academia and humanitarian organisations to provide highly relevant higher education. In addition, Deakin adds special competence about the south Asian and Oceanian humanitarian context.
