Victoria University

Victoria University (VU) was founded in 1916 as Footscray Technical School. After successive mergers with TAFE colleges in Melbourne's western suburbs, VU was established in 1990. Today, VU is one of the largest and most culturally diverse education institutions in Australia. We are one of only five multi-sector universities offering TAFE and higher education courses.

Our original mandate was to serve the western region of Melbourne and we continue to do this by forging strong links with local communities, government and industry. VU is equally proud to attract nearly 15,000 international students within a total student body of more than 51,000. Around 4500 dedicated research, teaching and general staff join with students to make VU a new school of thought.
