About the school

First established as an educational institution in 1916, Victoria University achieved official university status in 1991. As one of Australia’s few dual-sector universities, VU is currently home to over 40,000 students across undergraduate, postgraduate, and Vocational Education & Training (VET) courses. As one of the 39 public universities in Australia, VU ensures that its students learn and thrive within a world-class education system.*Dual-Sector University: An institution that offers vocational courses (Certificates and Diplomas) that serve as a direct pathway into higher education (Bachelor’s or Master’s) degrees.Victoria University is also the only university in Australia to implement the innovative Block Mode Teaching system (a method where students complete one subject before moving on to the next). Unlike traditional universities where students study multiple subjects simultaneously throughout a semester, VU students focus intensely on just one subject over a 4-week block. This immersive approach allows students to achieve higher academic performance and focus better on their studies.
