• employability programs that prepare you for work after graduation.

At Victoria University (VU) we have revolutionised tertiary education in Australia with our multi award-winning VU Block Model. Unlike the standard university model where you juggle multiple subjects at once over a semester, at VU, you get to focus on one unit (subject) at a time. You complete each unit over a four-week ‘block’. You typically finish your block on a Friday and receive your results on the following Monday, taking away uncertainty and a long wait for results. Since we introduced the VU Block Model to our undergraduate students in 2018, our students are performing better than ever before. In 2019, first-year pass rates were at 87% (up 13% on standard model) while for second year students, pass rates were at 90%. Beyond academic results, the immersive Block class environment develops your confidence and independence as a learner and problem-solver, preparing you for success in your future career.

We understand that the number one reason for study is achieving your chosen career. That’s why our courses are designed together with industry, to ensure that you learn the skills employers are looking for – now, and in the future. As Australia’s No. 1 university for employability skills, Victoria University will help you to be job ready when graduating with the skills and connections necessary to build your career.
