UNDERGRADUATE AND TAFE COURSE GUIDE - Victoria University

A WORD FROM
OUR VICE-CHANCELLOR
Your university days
can be some of the best
times in your life, so take
advantage of what VU has
to offer.”
Welcome to Victoria University’s
2012 undergraduate course guide.
By reviewing the course options
offered at VU you’ll be able to
make an informed choice on the
right course for your chosen career.
We offer a supportive environment for our students
plus a wide range of scholarships across all fields of
study. I encourage you to take advantage of these
and the many support services we provide to ensure
you make the most of your studies. We will work
hard to make sure your time at VU is valuable and
enjoyable.
Our courses are tailored to meet the needs of industry
and the latest workplace practices. Work placement
is one of the most effective means of learning and
preparing you for work. That’s why 25 per cent of the
assessment of all our courses is related to learning in
the workplace.
We are one of only a few universities to offer TAFE as
well as higher education courses, which range from
certificates and diplomas through to undergraduate,
master and doctoral degrees. Many of our students
use a TAFE qualification as a stepping stone to a
higher education degree.

But university is not just about study. Our campuses
are an inspiring mix of cultures, people and languages
– you will form friendships, many of which will last
well beyond your uni days. We also have clubs and
fantastic sports facilities so you can take a break from
the classroom and enjoy activities with your peers.
Once you’ve checked this course guide, we believe
there are three very good reasons why you might
choose to study with us:
• Access – more than 600 courses with credits and
pathways between courses
• Support – our support services are designed to
ensure you achieve the best you possibly can
• Our graduates get jobs – employers place a high
value on the work-readiness of VU graduates
Your university days can be some of the best times in
your life, so take advantage of what VU has to offer.
I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to
Victoria University in 2012.
