Victoria University (VU) is the university of the west.
Victoria University achieved university status in 1991, but our preceding institutions date back to 1916. We are one of Australia’s few dual-sector universities. Today, we have over 40,000 enrolled higher education, and vocational education and training students studying on our campuses.
VU has received the following rankings:
Ranked in the world’s top 3% (Times Higher Education – THE – World University Rankings)
Ranked 45 in the world’s top universities aged under 50 (THE Young University Rankings 2019)
Ranked number one in Australia for professional skills^ (2022 QILT Employer Satisfaction Survey).
As one of 39 public universities in Australia, graduates can be assured their qualification from VU is being awarded from a university operating in a world-class education system.
Being a dual-sector university means that our students can easily pathway from vocational education to higher education - such as from a certificate or diploma course through to an undergraduate degree or even a postgraduate qualification by coursework or research.
Block Model
Ranked in the top 3% of universities worldwide, we are revolutionising education in Australia with our new way to do uni. This includes the VU Block Model, where we teach one unit at a time, rather than several at once.
Our focus on student success will give you skills for a 21st century career.
With VU's award-winning Block Model, you study one subject at a time for four weeks (undergraduate courses), or two subjects at a time for eight weeks (postgraduate courses). Each four-week or eight-week 'block' includes all assessments, allowing you to focus on one or two subjects at a time and receive your results before moving onto the next block.
International students at VU Sydney are performing particularly well under the Block Model. Students are achieving average pass rates of 90%, with over 40% receiving distinctions and high distinctions without a change to the assessments given.
All diploma and undergraduate courses are taught under the Block Model at VU Sydney, with our postgraduate business courses moving to delivery via Block Model from 2021.
Job & Future-Ready Graduates
Our industry and government partnerships add value to our courses and ensure our graduates are job-ready, with many of our courses professionally recognised and accredited.

Our teaching spaces are optimised for contemporary learning, and you will be supported by a team of experienced academics who are committed to ensuring you graduate with the skills and knowledge to succeed in and beyond your degree.

VU Values
The VU Values are that we are always:
welcoming
ethical
shaping the future
together.
They form the acronym ‘WEST’. So, we are ‘always west’ and this is symbolic of place. The west of Melbourne is the heart of VU – the centre from which we serve communities across Australia and overseas.
While we have always taken a values-based approach to our work at VU, our new values are an opportunity to express and further articulate our moral purpose more distinctly.
Our values are a living set of actions that underpin our moral purpose, this is The VU Way, which is to transform the lives and communities we serve.
VU’s values go beyond vocabulary they are a reflection of our beliefs and our ethics which in turn influences our practice.
