Victoria University is made up of seven colleges which offer diplomas, undergraduate degrees as well as postgraduate and research higher degrees.
Previously known as faculties, each of our seven colleges focus on a specific broad discipline area – arts, business, education, engineering, health, law or sport science.
In addition to the seven colleges, the Trades College focuses on vocational training, commonly referred to by the term TAFE. Pathways, and language and learning development for students across the University continue to be supported by the VU College.
