Overview

DUELI teaches English at Deakin University’s Melbourne Burwood campus. Its handbook identifies Building LA, Entrance 3, on Elgar Road. General English is suitable for learners who want to build everyday communication before deciding on a further course. English for Academic Purposes is a separate pathway for students preparing for degree study. The Independent Learning Centre provides guided time for students to work on areas they want to improve. Deakin’s General English page describes eight levels from beginner to advanced, so placement helps determine which class and study length to plan for. At Burwood, DUELI offers a route from General English to more focused academic preparation. The General English stream is aimed at personal language development, while the EAP stream can satisfy the English condition for eligible Deakin courses. Students choosing between them should consider whether they want to build conversational confidence first or already have a specific university intake in mind.

Courses

General English provides 20 hours of face-to-face tuition plus five hours of supported independent learning per week. The 2026 guide describes five-week courses, with a ten-week General English Elementary (GE 1) exception. Deakin’s course page lists scheduled intakes and no academic entry requirement for General English. Confirm the level and the actual number of weeks in the offer. Deakin publishes nine intakes in 2027. The first has orientation on 7 January and classes from 11 January to 12 February. Some later intakes have breaks between blocks.

Fees

The 2026 DUELI guide lists tuition at AUD 510 per week and enrolment at AUD 250. A standard five-week course therefore has a study subtotal of AUD 2,800. The ten-week elementary exception would have a study subtotal of AUD 5,350 at the same rates. Materials are accessible online and students need a laptop. The guide lists Burwood homestay at AUD 410–460 per week, on-campus accommodation at AUD 309–389 per week and an accommodation placement fee of AUD 350. Confirm the property, applicable fees and dates before calculating a full total. Insurance, flights and transfers are separate. For 2027, Deakin lists AUD 535 per teaching week plus AUD 250 for enrolment and orientation. Five weeks therefore cost AUD 2,925 before living expenses. The current guide lists Burwood homestay at AUD 420–490 per week for 2027. Ask for an itemised placement quote for the arrival and departure dates, including any days before orientation or after classes end. The university says the enrolment and tuition fees are due before the course begins.

Accommodation

Students can enquire about homestay through DUELI. Deakin also offers on-campus accommodation and short-stay apartments or units, with availability and terms depending on the booking. Ask whether the particular option can cover the full five- or ten-week program. Check what meals and utilities are included and whether a separate deposit, cleaning fee or placement charge applies. The Burwood homestay range depends on the placement. Ask DUELI for the room, meal arrangement and whether the host can cover the dates from orientation through the final class. If you want an apartment instead, Deakin has a separate short-stay route.
