Melbourne’s west is at the heart of Victoria University. We have served western region communities for more than 100 years through teaching, learning, training and research. We offer excellence in tertiary education, research, and the skills our communities need to make the most of the opportunities in this growing region. We build on local strengths and bring a global outlook to all of our programs. We are the world-class 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.
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.
