VU College delivers:
- Higher Education (HE) Diplomas in Australia and with our international partner institutions in China

English language study
VU English, our English language centre, provides nationally accredited English language courses. These are specifically designed to help students achieve the required level of English for direct entry into a VU diploma or degree.
Our English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) include:
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.
