Engineers
Join the Deakin Software Engineering Club at Burwood to design, build, and ship real software with other students.
Why DSEC Exists
More Than a Coding Club
The Deakin Software Engineering Club is the official home for students who want to turn lectures into real software experience. We bring together software engineering, computer science, IT, and design students at the Burwood campus to collaborate on projects, share knowledge, and support each other through uni.
For Students
Build portfolio ready software in project teams, not just solo assignments. Join coding nights, technical workshops, and guest talks with engineers and alumni. Prepare for internships and grad roles with peer support and practical experience.
For Industry & Deakin Staff
Meet motivated Deakin students who are already working in project teams. Explore collaboration on hackathons, workshops, and sponsored challenges. Partner with DSEC to share tools, datasets, or problem statements for student projects.
