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.

Victoria Business Confucius Institute (VBCI)
We offer our students the opportunity to learn about Chinese business practice through our collaborative work with the Chinese Confucius Institute.
The Victoria Business Confucius Institute (VBCI) was jointly established by VU, the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) and the Hanban Institute to strengthen VU's relationship with China.
Confucius Institutes work worldwide to promote Chinese cultural and language learning through courses, competitions and Chinese-language tests. They also offers scholarships and subsidies to tour, study and research in China.
The VBCI brings a unique business focus that complements other Confucius Institutes in Melbourne. It has strong ties with the College of Business, contributing to Chinese Business units as part of VU's business degrees.
