We’re the first Australian uni to introduce the Block Model and students are seeing great success.

At VU you’ll stay focused on one subject at a time over a four week period, instead of juggling four subjects at once. With no large lectures, you’ll experience the best way to study in our smaller classes, giving you more support and one to one time with your teachers and peers.

VU Block Model is best for you!

The VU Block Model - Transcript

Stay focused

Develop critical problem-solving skills

By completing one unit over four weeks, you’ll be able to fully focus on one subject at a time, reinforce key points through practical learning and quickly implement any feedback.

In class, you’ll develop your skills as a critical thinker, applying your knowledge to current, problem-based scenarios, drawn from industry.

Feel supported

Fast-track your studies

Learn in smaller classes and have more one-on-one time with your teachers.

You can choose to finish your studies faster with optional winter and summer blocks of study, or take time off for work or travel and still finish your year on schedule.
