The Faculty currently offers courses at Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels, an external program in Sydney, offshore courses in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the Netherlands, together with non-award courses, and a range of pathways.
The Faculty also conducts a very successful access program, foundation studies, which is a one-year full time course for students whose VCE results or subjects were not satisfactory to gain entry to a science or engineering course at university or for those who want to return to study. Successful completion of appropriate subjects will guarantee students entry to our Engineering and Science courses at Victoria University.
The Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science provides students with a sound scientific training with strong emphasis on practical skills and problem solving that equips them well for a range of professional careers. There has been a major change to problem-based learning strategies in the classroom.
The Faculty offers a comprehensive range of courses in health, engineering and science up to PhD level. The courses have been developed to meet the vocational needs of students, and special care has been taken to consult the professional organisations to ensure that graduating students receive professional recognition for their qualifications.
Students will find the staff of the Faculty willing to help and advise them during their studies. Staff members also take a keen interest in the job placement and careers of graduates.
There is more to university life than just study and students should make the most of all social opportunities that Victoria University, the Faculty and student life has to offer.
