Find everything you need to know about starting your VU journey: from learning about our unique learning model, to applying for our Early Entry program or a VU course at Open Day.
We’re here to help at Open Day – whether that’s course info, the scoop on which courses you can study fee-free, or giving you the tips and skills to kick start your career.
Join us as we show respect to our First Nations people and Protecting Country as we open our event – then jump into discovering all the ways you can thrive at VU.
Yep, you read that right – we’re giving away 5 x $2,000 grants you can use towards your course fees next year^. All you need to do to go into the running is register for Open Day, check in when you arrive at the event – and enrol to start your VU course by February 2026.
We’d love to get to hang out with you at both events, but we do have a recommended event for you based on the study area you’re interested in. Explore both campuses below for more details.
