Current VU students
At Victoria University, you can choose your own study journey.
We are one of the few universities in Australia to offer courses in both TAFE and higher education which means you can transition through courses or use our registered study pathways.
Your options could involve studying overseas as part of your course, a transfer to a different course or taking part in leadership programs.

As part of your application you may also be required to complete extra requirements or complete supplementary forms (eg. special consideration, community reference forms, referee reports).
Extra requirements
Please note that as part of your application you may be required to complete extra requirements such as:
- submitting supplementary forms
