    Hear from our students

    Through practical industry subjects, VU gave me the confidence to work as part of a team to support the delivery of large-scale projects and I gained invaluable knowledge from my course which allowed me to stand out, even as an undergrad.

    Annelyse Carter — Bachelor of Construction Management (Honours)
    Annelyse's story

    My Year 12 results were meagre, but VU offered me a chance to succeed. I’m testament to VU’s philosophy that Year 12 scores do not define your talent – when a student finds their niche and interest they can excel.

    Rhian Stavely — Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Biomedical Science)
    Rhian's story
    Shreysha Shrestha

    The course is so practical – it allows you to deal with real projects and the guest lecturers are VU graduates who work in the industry so that motivated me more to work hard.
