As one of Australia’s only dual-sector universities, VU offers both TAFE courses and Higher Education degrees with seamless pathways – so wherever you’re starting from, you can create a future that’s uniquely your own. Putting students at the heart of everything we do shapes how we teach, support and partner with our community. We’re Victoria’s #1 uni for skills development and peer engagement (QILT, 2024), reflecting a student experience built on practical learning, strong support and a genuine sense of belonging. Our Australian-first VU Block Model lets students learn more deeply, focusing on one subject at a time in smaller, interactive classes – and getting results they can be proud of, with HD grades increasing by over 50% since it launched. With our ‘Flipped Campus’ model, students gain hands-on industry opportunities while studying with partners co-located on campus. In 2025, VU students completed 37,000+ placements across our partner network, helping build momentum for their careers. We’re also home to globally recognised research in health, sport, education and sustainability – including a #6 global ranking in sport science (ShanghaiRanking, 2025). Our commitment to Protecting Country is embedded in our teaching, research and operations, guided by our First Nations Action Plan and the Moondani Balluk Indigenous Academic Unit. With students who speak 320+ languages from 180+ countries, and 46% first in their families to attend uni, we pride ourselves on diversity and community connection. Our global footprint includes eight campuses across Australia, a 100% online offering, a flagship VU campus in India, and international students at partner institutes in Malaysia, China, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. 📲 Stay connected: instagram.com/victoriauniversity tiktok.com/@victoriauniversity facebook.com/victoria.university youtube.com/victoriauniversity CRICOS Provider No. 00124K (Melbourne) / 02475D (Sydney & Brisbane) / RTO Code: 3113
