For more than 100 years, Victoria University (VU) has offered accessible, world-class education to students in Melbourne’s west and beyond. As one of only six universities in Australia to deliver both TAFE and Higher Education courses, VU aims to be a global leader in dual sector learning and research.

VU rankings

  • #1 university in Australia for Employability (2020 Employer Satisfaction Survey)
  • Top 2% globally (THE World University Rankings 2022)
  • 63rd in the world (THE Young University Rankings 2021)
  • 1st in Australia and 10th globally for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (THE Impact Rankings 2021)
  • 8th in Australia for quality education (THE Impact Rankings 2021)
  • 1st in Victoria and 3rd in Australia for learner engagement (Good Universities Guide 2021 and 2021 QILT Student Experience Survey)
  • 9th globally for sport education (Shanghai Rankings 2020)
  • 28 research disciplines ranked at, above, or well above world standard (Excellence in Research Australia 2018).

Multi award-winning learning models

Students benefit from VU’s award-winning learning models and flexible pathways across short courses, apprenticeships, certificates, diplomas and bachelor degrees, as well as masters and PhDs.

VU was the first Australian university to use Block Model learning, where students complete one subject over a four-week ‘block’. Since its introduction in 2018, students have become more engaged, get higher pass rates (91% in 2020, up from 74% with the standard model) and achieve better grades (60% distinction level or above).

VU Polytechnic, VU’s TAFE provider, has award-winning interactive eLearning models that replaces paper-based theory with a combination of face-to-face, hands-on teaching and user-friendly e-learning tools.

Impactful research

VU research offers outstanding cross-disciplinary research opportunities in sport, health and active living, and sustainable industries and liveable cities. The research institutes and centres are supported by their partnerships with industry, resulting in collaborations that address the challenges our communities face.

Industry-leading partners

Partnerships with more than 4000 organisations inform VU’s curriculum and provide students with work-integrated and hands-on practical learning opportunities to ensure they are work ready. Graduates are more employable, meeting the current and future needs of industry.

Celebrating diversity

VU has more than 40,000 students from over 90 countries study onshore, and 5,400 more are at VU’s partner institutions in Asia. It has several campuses in Melbourne’s CBD and western suburbs, and one campus in Sydney.

For more than a century, VU has proudly offered its students an accessible, internationally engaged and industry-focused education that produces career-ready graduates.
