Our facilities

The College of Business has a range of industry-standard facilities, including a specialised business library, contemporary board rooms and shared spaces. Our City Convention Centre located on Level 12 boasts spectacular city and river views and offers a venue for business and social functions.

Student placements & internships

If your dream career is in the business world, we can help you achieve it. Our business students gain practical, real-world knowledge and skills with the aid of strong industry links, specialist professional development units, and over 150 workplace learning programs in cutting-edge companies.

One of our greatest strengths as a university is our links with industry. We are one of the most industry connected universities in Australia with over 4,000 industry connections university-wide. Our students are exposed to placement opportunities at the Australian Centre for Financial Studies, Linfox, Victorian Tourism, Victoria Transport Association, Crown Melbourne, Tourism Victoria and the Western Bulldogs Football Club every year.

Our co-operative education program offers a year of paid, full-time employment towards the end of a business degree, with a preparation program during the second year of study to ensure our students are ready to enter the workplace. Students also have the opportunity to engage in a work integrated learning program. This provides students with industry-based experiences such as relevant project work, part-time employment, a holiday job or even voluntary work while studying.

‘During my final year of study I completed a 10-month internship at Coles, working with the Supply Chain team. In this position I found the skills taught to me at Victoria University vital in achieving success.’
