Handbooks
We always advise future students to check the course finder for the most up-to-date information on our courses.
Each faculty at VU has its own printed publication called a Student Handbook. These provide comprehensive details on all the courses for each faculty.
From 1 January 2013 a new integrated College structure will replace our previous six Faculties. The college structure will offer students a curriculum incorporating Higher Education and TAFE.
Our new Colleges are:
- Arts
- Business
- Education
- Engineering and Science
- Health and Biomedicine
- Law and Justice
- Sport and Exercise Science
- Trades College
- VU College.

2013 course guides
Our Victoria University Course Guides offer a quick overview of courses offered by the University to domestic students in 2013. These include further and vocational education (TAFE) courses, and higher education undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Download the Guides:
- Victoria University Course Guide - Undergraduate and TAFE
- Victoria University Course Guide - Postgraduate
The Guides also include details on:
- how to apply for courses
- student services and assistance
- facilities and campuses
These course guides were published early in 2012 for people selecting courses to study in 2013.
The information in the printed course guides may not be as up to date as our course finder, so keep that in mind.
Discontinued courses (for continuing students only)
Our course search only lists courses that are currently accepting students or will have an intake of new students in future.
If you are looking for information about discontinued courses (courses no longer offered or those available to continuing students only), choose an Achived course handbook and search for the course within.
Archived course handbooks
These are pdf versions of printed handbooks dating back to 2002. You can search the pdf files for old course and unit information.
