“VU has a strong sense of community and it goes the extra mile for its students.”
2. A learning model that lets you balance everything

“It was a really great way to connect with people and meet diverse groups.”
3. Employability skills to let you graduate job-ready
“VU does a great job at helping students become more employable.
“My degree equipped me with the right skills and competencies that I needed for the market, and the support services and professional networks available ensured that I grabbed opportunities as they came along."
4. A launchpad for a career in human resources
“My jobs at VU helped me gain Australian work experience, which landed me my first interview right after I graduated, in the HR team at VU as a recruitment officer.
“This role helped me progress into an Associate Business Partner role, which I'm currently in. I advise senior leaders in their workforce planning, budgeting, and all HR matters.
“I plan on starting my own HR consultancy firm during the next decade. My experiences at VU both as a student and staff have set me up well, and I'm learning new things every day.”
