Aussie Mates at Victoria University

We have an exciting program for our exchange or study abroad students to help make coming to study in Melbourne a lot easier.

Aussie Mates are current VU students who will help you:

  • make new friends
  • get to know Melbourne
  • cope with how different it is studying here
  • enjoy on- and off-campus social activities.

Join the Aussie Mates at Victoria University Facebook group for the latest updates on activities around campus.

"I recommend signing up for the Aussie Mate program as they organise several events, and if you live outside the centre of the city, I definitely recommend you go into Melbourne CBD and make sure you really see the city while you're here - Melbourne is a beautiful place!"
Marie Lie Boettinger, on exchange from Norway
