<strong>UNDERGRADUATE</strong><br />

<strong>AND</strong> <strong>TAFE</strong> <strong>COURSE</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong>


A WORD FROM<br />

OUR VICE-CHANCELLOR<br />

Your university days<br />

can be some of the best<br />

times in your life, so take<br />

advantage of what VU has<br />

to offer.”<br />

Welcome to <strong>Victoria</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s<br />

2012 undergraduate course guide.<br />

By reviewing the course options<br />

offered at VU you’ll be able to<br />

make an informed choice on the<br />

right course for your chosen career.<br />

We offer a supportive environment for our students<br />

plus a wide range of scholarships across all fields of<br />

study. I encourage you to take advantage of these<br />

and the many support services we provide to ensure<br />

you make the most of your studies. We will work<br />

hard to make sure your time at VU is valuable and<br />

enjoyable.<br />

Our courses are tailored to meet the needs of industry<br />

and the latest workplace practices. Work placement<br />

is one of the most effective means of learning and<br />

preparing you for work. That’s why 25 per cent of the<br />

assessment of all our courses is related to learning in<br />

the workplace.<br />

We are one of only a few universities to offer <strong>TAFE</strong> as<br />

well as higher education courses, which range from<br />

certificates and diplomas through to undergraduate,<br />

master and doctoral degrees. Many of our students<br />

use a <strong>TAFE</strong> qualification as a stepping stone to a<br />

higher education degree.<br />

for more Details about courses Visit www.Vu.eDu.au/courses<br />

But university is not just about study. Our campuses<br />

are an inspiring mix of cultures, people and languages<br />

– you will form friendships, many of which will last<br />

well beyond your uni days. We also have clubs and<br />

fantastic sports facilities so you can take a break from<br />

the classroom and enjoy activities with your peers.<br />

Once you’ve checked this course guide, we believe<br />

there are three very good reasons why you might<br />

choose to study with us:<br />

• Access – more than 600 courses with credits and<br />

pathways between courses<br />

• Support – our support services are designed to<br />

ensure you achieve the best you possibly can<br />

• Our graduates get jobs – employers place a high<br />

value on the work-readiness of VU graduates<br />

Your university days can be some of the best times in<br />

your life, so take advantage of what VU has to offer.<br />

I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to<br />

<strong>Victoria</strong> <strong>University</strong> in 2012.<br />

WHY CHOOSE<br />

VICTORIA UNIVERSITY?<br />

THE DECISION IS EASY<br />

I wake up looking forward<br />

to coming to uni. I travel<br />

over an hour each day<br />

because I love it here.<br />

This is like my second<br />

home – I think I might cry<br />

when I graduate!”<br />

During Year 12, I was so<br />

committed to my hockey<br />

I didn’t get the results I<br />

had hoped for. But with<br />

the help of VU’s pathways,<br />

I worked my way up<br />

through <strong>TAFE</strong> to a double<br />

degree.<br />

Now I have my dream<br />

job combining the two<br />

things I love – hockey<br />

and teaching. “<br />

EDUCATION <strong>AND</strong><br />

TRANSITION<br />

I’d met so many people<br />

who couldn’t advance in<br />

their careers because they<br />

lacked a solid education,<br />

so I decided to become<br />

a teacher and make a<br />

difference at the grass<br />

roots level. VU provided<br />

fantastic opportunities<br />

and I felt supported and<br />

encouraged from my<br />

first day.”<br />

Welcome to the exciting world of 21st century<br />

learning. Learn to engage people in fields<br />

only limited by your imagination – pre-school,<br />

primary or secondary teaching, children’s<br />

services, youth work, literacy, multimedia,<br />

teaching English as a foreign language and<br />

many more.<br />

Whether you’re a school leaver, mid-career<br />

professional or are from a non-English<br />

speaking background there’s something here<br />

for you.<br />

Our teaching is backed up by the latest<br />

research into the changing nature of today’s<br />

work and workplaces.<br />

You will have opportunities to learn in the<br />

workplace, and courses have been developed<br />

to deliver real benefits to students, industry<br />

and the community.<br />

TOURISM <strong>AND</strong><br />

HOSPITALITY<br />

After working in the<br />

industry I realised where<br />

I wanted my career to go<br />

and that motivated me to<br />

excel in my studies. My<br />

Learning in the Workplace<br />

showed me what careers<br />

my degree made possible.”<br />

The world is becoming increasingly mobile –<br />

and getting smaller. To keep up, tourism and<br />

hospitality services are rapidly growing. There<br />

are literally millions of jobs for qualified tourism<br />

and hospitality operators, from running your<br />

own successful catering business to booking and<br />

promoting travel, and managing hospitality or<br />

tourism ventures, here and internationally.<br />

We have equipped our teaching facilities with<br />

the very best the world has to offer. We use<br />

Events Pro industry software for eventmanagement,<br />

tourism-simulated learning<br />

experiences, and fully operational restaurants<br />

with commercial training kitchens. VenU is our<br />

brand new training restaurant, fitted with<br />

state-of-the-art facilities and seating 100 guests.<br />

We partner with tourism bodies throughout<br />

Australia, as well as international partner<br />

Le Cordon Bleu, making your studies and work<br />

placements immediately relevant and practical<br />

to your future career.<br />

VU is the only university to be inducted into the<br />

<strong>Victoria</strong>n Tourism Awards Hall of Fame. Our<br />

Bachelor of Business in Hospitality and Tourism<br />

courses are EPAS accredited. They are the first<br />

courses in Australia to receive this accreditation<br />

from the European Foundation for Management<br />

Development (EFMD).<br />

Industry has now awarded VU the state award<br />

for tourism education six times.<br />

TRANSPORT<br />

<strong>AND</strong> LOGISTICS<br />

The VU lecturers have<br />

real, current industry<br />

experience. They made<br />

us question things and<br />

see things in a way<br />

we’d never seen them<br />

before. This critical<br />

thinking is crucial for<br />

my everyday work.”<br />

KaThleen GUiry, DomesTic operaTions<br />

Look around your world and you’ll soon realise<br />

that everything we rely on – from food to<br />

cosmetics, computer products and medical<br />

supplies – has arrived at its destination via a<br />

complex supply chain and logistics network.<br />

With a qualification in transport, logistics and<br />

supply chain at VU, you can connect with any<br />

industry, anywhere in the world. Whether<br />

it’s the transportation of precious goods,<br />

managing major events, international trade or<br />

co-ordinating disaster relief, every industry<br />

relies on supply chains.<br />

You may also be considering a career in forklift<br />

or heavy vehicle operations, warehousing,<br />

purchasing or the legal and environmental<br />

implications around supply chain management.<br />

With a predicted industry shortage of 24,000<br />

people within four years in <strong>Victoria</strong> alone, you’ll<br />

be in hot demand when you graduate.<br />

VU’s Institute for Logistics and Supply Chain<br />

Management has partnerships with local,<br />

national and multinational enterprises and<br />

government, providing workplace learning and<br />

research opportunities.<br />

INTERNATIONAL<br />

GLOBAL LEARNING<br />

Learning another culture<br />

and travelling over Europe<br />

has contributed to my<br />

personal and academic<br />

development. You learn<br />

so much about history,<br />

culture and languages.”<br />

OLIVIA GUMIENNY, BACHELOR OF EDUCATION<br />

ATTENDED JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY,<br />

SWEDEN, 2010<br />

INTERNATIONAL APPROACH<br />

Melbourne is a multicultural city, and the diversity of<br />

our student body is a true reflection of that.<br />

We have around 3000 international students<br />

studying onshore, who bring with them 100<br />

cultures from around the world. And with over<br />

40 per cent of our local students reporting the<br />

use of a language other than English at home,<br />

we are very much a global community.<br />

International students choose us for our strong course<br />

pathways and linkages from our overseas partner<br />

campuses, and because our outstanding facilities<br />

and support services will ensure that their experience<br />

is rich and rewarding. We offer a wide range of<br />

learning and support, and teach in the workplace, in<br />

classrooms, locally and internationally.<br />

INTERNATIONAL<br />

CURRICULUM<br />

Our global partners include big business, educational<br />

institutions and community groups. These partnerships<br />

and collaborations help us keep up to date with global<br />

markets and work practices, so our curriculum stays at<br />

the forefront of industry standards. Our international<br />

research helps develop courses, and has outcomes that<br />

assist our local and global communities.<br />
