Victoria University (VU) is well known for preparing our students not just for a career, but for life.
Victoria University, whose origins go back to 1916 when Footscray Technical School began, was established in 1990 and aims to be a University of opportunity for students from diverse countries, cultures, socio-economic and educational backgrounds.
Our vision is to be excellent, engaged and accessible. We aim to be internationally recognised for our leadership in:
empowering our students to grow their capabilities and transform their lives
engaging with industry and community to make the world a better place, through the creation, sharing and use of new knowledge.
We will achieve our goals through our distinctive approach to curriculum, the student experience, research and knowledge exchange, and engagement with industry and the community.
Our colleges at Victoria University offer diplomas, undergraduate degrees as well as postgraduate and research higher degrees.
Previously known as faculties, each of our colleges focus on a specific broad discipline area – arts, business, education, engineering, health, law or sport science.
Today, VU is one of the largest and most culturally diverse education institutions in Australia, and one of only five multi-sector universities offering vocational education (TAFE) and higher education courses.
