There are two main ways to apply for a course at Victoria University: through the Victoria Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) or by applying directly to VU.
The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) is the organisation that processes course applications on behalf of universities in Victoria. VTAC applications for Semester 1 2010 tertiary entry have now closed. For information about irregular and supplementary offers please see VTAC preferences.
If you want to apply to study at VU in 2010 and you haven't applied through VTAC, you may still be able to apply directly to VU.
