Victoria University is a multi-sector university with campuses in the Melbourne CBD and in the western region of Melbourne. The University's courses have a strong focus on providing career ready graduates. The University offers a wide program of career-oriented programs to students both in Australia and overseas. The University has a considerable expertise and experience in assessing students' prior learning and developing pathways through courses that give appropriate credit for prior learning that is acquired both through formal courses and 'on the job'. This experience makes it an ideal University for ADF trained personnel to consider when they are looking to gain maximum advantage for their prior studies and experience within the Australian Defence Forces.

Victoria University courses are renowned for their flexibility and recognition of work related obligations that can unexpectedly interrupt studies. Members of the ADF can apply for special consideration if faced with difficulties that arise as a consequence of their particular circumstances, e.g. an overseas posting or active service.
