Partners & alumni
Victoria University’s networks begin on our campuses, connecting students with local communities, industry and partners, and extend through our international partnerships and a global alumni community of more than 300,000.
Explore opportunities for student placements, research collaboration and alumni events – and find out how you can support a university working to uplift Melbourne’s west and the world beyond.
Benefits for students
Our partnership and alumni networks provide VU students with extensive learning and career opportunities, both during their study and after graduation.
Major partners have workspaces located on our campuses, providing real-world experience for students on site. We call this model the ‘flipped campus’.
Through work placements, mentorship and graduate opportunities, VU's partner and alumni networks support our students to succeed in the workplace and community life.
Benefits for partners
VU's partners gain access to a wealth of student and researcher talent, along with opportunities to use our high-end workspaces, labs and equipment.
Our students come well prepared to help your organisation during placements and internships. Mentoring or hosting a VU student also allows you to shape your future workforce, and give back to your community.
In addition, we have an outstanding tradition of successful research collaborations with government, industry, fellow universities and community partners. We offer expertise in a wide range of cutting-edge techniques, as well as large-scale fire, water and packaging labs, and multimillion-dollar sport and health facilities.
