You can now qualify for your dream job faster as you fit study around your schedule, with a number of courses from certificate through to postgraduate level delivered 100% online in our transformative VU Block Model®.

We also offer a range of online short courses and single units that are a quick and cost-effective way to sharpen skills and upgrade specialist knowledge with industry-relevant, targeted training.

Victoria University Online

At Victoria University (VU) Online, we take a personalised – one to one – approach to online learning, making studying with us both highly interactive and supportive. We pride ourselves on the exceptional level of support we provide our students through phone, email and chat – 7 days a week, in the evenings and on weekends.

From day one, you'll have the support of your designated Student Success Advisor, as well as other teaching staff members and, of course, your classmates and the wider VU student community, all of whom you'll be able to connect with seamlessly.

Our online courses in business, finance, nursing and public health enable you to study whenever and wherever you wish, focused on just one unit at a time with our multi award-winning VU Block Model®.

The total cost of completing your degree at VU Online depends on the number of units you study and the amount of advanced standing you receive, which is assessed after you apply.
