Vice-Chancellor
Welcome to Victoria University
We have always done things differently at Victoria University.
As one of only six dual-sector universities in Australia, we are uniquely positioned to offer flexible, complementary studies to students at multiple points in their learning journey. This brings together the best of our University qualifications and VU Poytechnic's leading vocational education and training.
Since 2018 our revolutionary learning models have also led the way, ranging from the finest of new and emerging skills education to the Australian-first curricular transformation of the VU First Year College® and the multi-award winning VU Block Model®.
Never before has the world needed education and research with more impact. Driving our input, and underpinning all that we do, is our commitment to Protecting Country. We have a commitment to host ethical industries on every campus; to diversity and inclusivity; to the aspirations of First Nations people and culture; and to essential care of the environment that we share.
This is who we are — a university with heart that meets and exceeds local and global challenges, for the benefit of people, place and planet.
We are all proud of where VU has been. We are even more proud of where it is headed.
