Student services

Victoria University (VU) is one of the largest and most culturally diverse education institutions in Australia. We value our diversity and want to make sure we provide you with the services and facilities you need to make the most of your time here. If you need help, advice, a place to kick the footy, or if you need to unwind with a massage, we have it all.

Activities and facilities

We have a wide range of activities and facilities to help you lead a balanced life and have fun at university.

  • Accommodation: Live and learn with your mates on campus or in our Student Village.
  • Clubs and societies: We have a great range of clubs and societies on campus. Make friends with people who share similar interests to you.
  • Fitness facilities: Whenever you have spare time you can head to the on-campus gym for a workout. You can even take a dip in the pool or train with the Western Bulldogs Football Club at Footscray Park.
  • Internet access: We offer free WiFi internet access on campus. Study outside or in a café, the choice is yours.
  • Learning commons: We have taken a different approach to learning so that our libraries are now integrated with computer labs, 'break out' spaces and cafés for socialising and collaborative learning.
  • Sport: We love sport at VU. You can train with our athletes who went to the Beijing Olympics or with the Western Bulldogs Football Club. You can also compete in the Australian University Games. If you're after something more low-key we have lots of social sport competitions where you can have fun with your friends.

Balancing study with work, social and family responsibilities is sometimes difficult. We provide free advice to help make your time at VU enjoyable and rewarding. Our advice and counselling services include:

The Moondani Balluk Indigenous Academic Unit provides support services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students currently undertaking a course at VU.
