Victoria University

At Victoria University (VU) we provide quality research training and undertake specialised and cross-disciplinary research. Our goal is to make change through practical and applied outcomes that can be used by business, industry and the community. In recent Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) assessments, we were ranked 'well above world standard' in several of our research focus areas.

VU is one of the few Australian universities that is a multi-sector institution (higher education and TAFE). We offer short courses, apprenticeships, certificates, diplomas, degrees and postgraduate studies. Our flexible learning pathways means you can choose your own study journey, entering from various points and exiting when you've reached your goal.

We have over 50,000 students enrolled at our campuses, primarily located in the western region of Melbourne (Australia) and at international sites.
