What if I'm not sure what I want to study yet?

That's completely normal – plenty of people leave Open Day with more questions than answers. Take your time exploring courses by area of interest, and if you're stuck, our team can talk through your options (opens in a new tab) based on what you enjoy and where you want to end up. There's no rush to have it all figured out.

How do I preference VU?

Log in to your VTAC account, then add your VU course to your preference list. You can list several preferences and reorder or swap them during change of preference periods. Check out the how to decide & apply page (opens in a new tab) for more info!

How does the VU Block Model work?

You focus on one subject at a time over four weeks in small, workshop-style classes. You’ll have three-hour classes, three times a week, meaning you get to really focus on what you’re learning without juggling other subjects, while having more free time for work, socialising and other things in life! Learn more about the VU Block Model (opens in a new tab).

What support will I get as a VU student?

Plenty. From day one you'll have access to free academic help, wellbeing and counselling services, careers advice and our student success advisors, who check in and help you stay on track. Whatever comes up during your studies, you won't be dealing with it alone. Explore support and advice services at VU (opens in a new tab).
