Find out about VU's single units of study – a quick and convenient way to learn new skills.
Choose from our units in the arts, business, engineering and IT, health, sport or recreation.
We deliver units across several campuses, so you can attend classes at a location and time that suits.
Check our timetable planner to find out when classes may run for your chosen unit.
Some units have prerequisites, such as prior completion of other units. Prospective students should check the unit pages to see details of any required prerequisites.
Enrolling in and completing these units will count towards the completion of your Bachelor of Law degree.
If you’re studying law and meet the prerequisites for these units, you are eligible to enrol.
Email us (via AskVU), speak to us via live chat or call us on +61 3 9919 6100 for more information.
Depending on the unit you choose, typical assessments may include exams, essays, portfolios and presentations.
Check the relevant unit page for more information about the assessments you'll need to submit in order to pass the unit.
All Australian residents can register interest to study single units.
Check the unit details to see if there are prerequisite studies or pre-reading.
Whether you can enrol in a single unit depends on your visa:
If you are interested in studying at VU as part of another course we encourage you to apply through our study abroad or exchange program.
If you are enrolled in a course at another institution in Australia, you can apply to study a unit at VU that will be counted towards completion of your course at your home institution.
You are considered an ‘inbound’ student, and should apply using the cross-institutional inbound application form.
An invoice will be created at the time of enrolment and then made available via MyVU, which is the gateway to student systems.
You will need to pay your fees by the date indicated on your invoice.
In 2023, fees for domestic students will be charged at the full fee unit rate in the 2023 unit fees schedule for domestic students.
Students on a tourist visa, please get in touch to discuss your eligibility and unit fees. (International students on a student visa are not eligible for single units of study.)
Your employer or other sponsor (such as a job agency) may agree to cover the cost of your study.
If so:
