Welcome to Victoria University and Victoria University Polytechnic! We hope that studying with us is one of the most memorable times of your life.
Orientations are a great way to start university or TAFE. You'll get important course information and make friends at fun social events.
On-campus orientations are held twice a year. In February/March (Semester 1) we call our orientation 'Summer O-Fest', and in July (Semester 2) we call it 'Winter O-Fest'.
As a new international student you need to arrive in Australia before your course starts and in time to attend your compulsory orientation session.
It’s a good idea to arrive at least a week before your international orientation. You'll then have time to explore Melbourne and go to O-Fest on your campus.
International orientation provides important information from VU staff, students and community organisations about living in Melbourne and getting a great start at VU, including:
