About Victoria University

Victoria University (VU) is the University of the West. For more than 100 years, Victoria University (VU) has offered accessible education to students in Melbourne’s west and beyond. We are one of Australia’s few dual-sector universities, with currently over 40,000 enrolled vocational and higher education students studying across our campuses. Our moral purpose is to provide vocational and higher education that transforms the lives of students and the communities we serve. Our values are a living set of actions that underpin our moral purpose. The VU Values are that we are always: • welcoming • ethical • shaping the future • together. This is the VU Way. We are always WEST. At VU we believe diversity is a strength – the more diverse perspectives, identities, cultural backgrounds, ages and experience of our students and staff, the better our working environment, research and educational experience of our students. With a culturally diverse population of students and staff from a wide range of backgrounds, we strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where all students and staff are respected, valued and enabled to thrive.
