A message from the Executive Director

Welcome to Victoria University College – your pathway to a degree at Victoria University. Each year, approximately 8,500 students from diverse countries, cultures and educational backgrounds choose to study at VU College in Australia or internationally.

A leading pathway provider, we offer English language courses that provide the language skills for entry into our courses, and Higher Education Diplomas. These then enable direct entry into the second year of bachelor degrees at Victoria University.

With a strong global focus, our diplomas and English language courses are designed and delivered to meet the needs of international students.

We provide a personalised and highly supportive learning environment in which to prepare students for Australian university degrees and long-term academic success. Our students have more contact time in the classroom and access to all VU services, support and facilities.

Along with scholarships and a vibrant social calendar, VU College is a great option for both international and Australian students who want to graduate with a globally recognised VU degree. Regardless of where you were born or what career goals you have, VU College will help you strive for success.

• General English
• English for BULATS Preparation
• English for Academic Purposes.

These courses are taught on the top floors of VU’s City Flinders Campus, which is less than five minutes’ walk from Flinders Street Station, Melbourne’s main train station. The city teaching space offers an independent learning centre, shared computer labs and purpose-built classrooms, with superb views of the city skyline.

VU ELICOS has nine intakes per year, which means VU can ensure you complete your required English study before you begin your academic studies.
