Introduction
Welcome to the Deakin Statistics for 2018.
“Deakin Statistics” (formerly called “Deakin at a Glance”) is an annual publication. It provides a statistical summary of key activity for Deakin University over the last three years and includes:• a finalised end of year snapshot of course enrolments and student load/EFTSL (Equivalent Full Time Student Load ); • an indication of demand for Commonwealth Supported places measured by the number of preference applications
made to the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre; • summary information on Deakin’s research outputs, staffing and library resources; • data on course completions; • comparative data about Deakin relative to other Victorian institutions.
The report has been developed by the Strategic Intelligence and Planning Unit (SIPU) whose role includes provision of planning advice and statistical information.
The SIPU website also provides a large range of statistical reports and datasets for Deakin staff.
Deakin staff members can also access an ad hoc statistical reporting service using the Statistical Information Request form on the site.
Interested external parties can contact the Unit by emailing [email protected].

Note: 1. Student load data are based on finalised end-of-year snapshots for each year. 2. Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL) - is the standard annual study load. At
Deakin University, 8 credit points is the standard full time study load for one year (1 credit point = 0.125 EFTSL, which equates to 8 credit points = 1 EFTSL).
3. Domestic – a student who is an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen, Permanent resident or the holder of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa (citizenship category 1,2,3,8).
4. International – a student who is an overseas resident (citizenship category 4,5). They may be studying at a Deakin campus in Australia, undertaking off-campus study, or studying with an offshore partner.
5. Responsible Faculty – the Faculty registered as responsible for the course in which students have enrolled. Deakin has a number of combined courses which are administered across Faculties. Under the Responsible Faculty view all enrolments are shown under a single Faculty. For example, both the Faculty of Arts and Education and the Faculty of Business and Law are involved in delivery of the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws, but all enrolments are shown under the Faculty of Business and Law which is registered as the Responsible Faculty.
6. The completion statistic is a count of students who have been awarded a Higher Education qualification upon successful completion of their course. Successful completion involves the completion of all the academic requirements of a course including any required attendance, assignments, examinations, assessments, dissertations, practical experience and work experience in industry.
7. Finalised income data as reported by Research Services in the Deakin University Annual Report 2018. Total income includes research infrastructure and International HDR fees.

Representation of equity groups:Aboriginal &/or Torres Strait IslandersStudents who identify themselves as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent through self-identification on student enrolment forms.
Low socio-economic status background An indication of whether a domestic student's home location is classified as high, medium or low in terms of socio-economic status (SES). SES utilises the Australian Bureau of Statistics Socio-economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), Index of Education and Occupation derived from the Census of Population and Housing 2016. For this publication, low SES SA1 measure is utilised which is derived from the students’ permanent home residence, where SA1 areas in the bottom 25% of the population aged 15-64 being classified as Low SES. Students with a disabilityDomestic Students with a disability are defined through self-identification on student enrolment forms.
Regional / remote home locationAn indication of whether the student is geographically isolated from educational opportunities. This status details whether a domestic student's home location is classified as remote, regional or urban. Isolation status is based on the ASGS Geographic classification developed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Access, retention, success:AccessAccess rate refers to the number of equity group students who commence study in a given year as a percentage of total domestic commencements.Access Rate = Commencing students in Equity Group / All Commencing domestic onshore students
• ParticipationParticipation rate refers to the total number of equity group students who study in a given year as a percentage of total domestic students.Participation Rate = Total students in Equity Group / All domestic onshore students
• RetentionRetention rate measures the proportion of students who continue their studies from the previous year. Retention Rate = Continuing Students / (All enrolled students minus completed)
• SuccessSuccess Rate measures academic performance by comparing the effective full-time student load (EFTSL) of units passed to the EFTSL of units attempted. Success Rate = EFTSL passed / EFTSL attempted (passed,failed,withdrawn)
Campus:Campus figures presented in this document are derived from the location of the course attempt and the student course attempt (SCA) attendance mode. On campus course attempts are broken down by the location of the course attempt. Cloud (Online) / off campus appear as X, Off Shore as OS.
