Deakin University is one of only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and tightly controlled, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

Deakin university is the only university in Australia that has received University of The Year award twice (the 2nd in 1999). Therefore the reputation is good. Deakin uni has recently tighten the selection criteria so they are more selective in offering a place to students. However they also have a lower student-teacher ration which means that the help is there for students who are struggling with their studies.

In regards to career prospects, depending on your results and activities in campus (eg head of a university student club), your chance will the as good as any other MBA graduates in Australia. The university will be able to assist you later on with guidance for resume writing and where to go for work placements.

As an international student, you can apply for work permit after arrival in Australia. You can only work for max 20hrs/week during study period and full-time only during holiday period. Therefore it is obvious that you cannot rely on income from Australia to support yourself. Please budget yourself carefully.
