<strong>UNDERGRADUATE</strong><br />
<strong>AND</strong> <strong>TAFE</strong> <strong>COURSE</strong> <strong>GUIDE</strong>
A WORD FROM<br />
OUR VICE-CHANCELLOR<br />
Your university days<br />
can be some of the best<br />
times in your life, so take<br />
advantage of what VU has<br />
to offer.”<br />
Welcome to <strong>Victoria</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s<br />
2012 undergraduate course guide.<br />
By reviewing the course options<br />
offered at VU you’ll be able to<br />
make an informed choice on the<br />
right course for your chosen career.<br />
We offer a supportive environment for our students<br />
plus a wide range of scholarships across all fields of<br />
study. I encourage you to take advantage of these<br />
and the many support services we provide to ensure<br />
you make the most of your studies. We will work<br />
hard to make sure your time at VU is valuable and<br />
enjoyable.<br />
Our courses are tailored to meet the needs of industry<br />
and the latest workplace practices. Work placement<br />
is one of the most effective means of learning and<br />
preparing you for work. That’s why 25 per cent of the<br />
assessment of all our courses is related to learning in<br />
the workplace.<br />
We are one of only a few universities to offer <strong>TAFE</strong> as<br />
well as higher education courses, which range from<br />
certificates and diplomas through to undergraduate,<br />
master and doctoral degrees. Many of our students<br />
use a <strong>TAFE</strong> qualification as a stepping stone to a<br />
higher education degree.<br />
for more Details about courses Visit www.Vu.eDu.au/courses<br />
But university is not just about study. Our campuses<br />
are an inspiring mix of cultures, people and languages<br />
– you will form friendships, many of which will last<br />
well beyond your uni days. We also have clubs and<br />
fantastic sports facilities so you can take a break from<br />
the classroom and enjoy activities with your peers.<br />
Once you’ve checked this course guide, we believe<br />
there are three very good reasons why you might<br />
choose to study with us:<br />
• Access – more than 600 courses with credits and<br />
pathways between courses<br />
• Support – our support services are designed to<br />
ensure you achieve the best you possibly can<br />
• Our graduates get jobs – employers place a high<br />
value on the work-readiness of VU graduates<br />
Your university days can be some of the best times in<br />
your life, so take advantage of what VU has to offer.<br />
I hope to have the opportunity to welcome you to<br />

home – I think I might cry<br />
when I graduate!”<br />

PATHWAY<br />
TAKE IT HIGHER<br />
During Year 12, I was so<br />
committed to my hockey<br />
I didn’t get the results I<br />
had hoped for. But with<br />
the help of VU’s pathways,<br />
I worked my way up<br />
through <strong>TAFE</strong> to a double<br />
degree.<br />
Now I have my dream<br />
job combining the two<br />
things I love – hockey<br />
and teaching. “<br />

EDUCATION <strong>AND</strong><br />
TRANSITION<br />
I’d met so many people<br />
who couldn’t advance in<br />
their careers because they<br />
lacked a solid education,<br />
so I decided to become<br />
a teacher and make a<br />
difference at the grass<br />
roots level. VU provided<br />
fantastic opportunities<br />
and I felt supported and<br />
encouraged from my<br />
first day.”<br />

law, a community legal expert, an adviser to<br />
government or represent defendants in tough<br />
criminal cases.<br />
We have an expert legal teaching team,<br />

TOURISM <strong>AND</strong><br />
HOSPITALITY<br />
After working in the<br />
industry I realised where<br />
I wanted my career to go<br />
and that motivated me to<br />
excel in my studies. My<br />
Learning in the Workplace<br />
showed me what careers<br />
my degree made possible.”<br />

The world is becoming increasingly mobile –<br />
and getting smaller. To keep up, tourism and<br />
hospitality services are rapidly growing. There<br />
are literally millions of jobs for qualified tourism<br />
and hospitality operators, from running your<br />
own successful catering business to booking and<br />
promoting travel, and managing hospitality or<br />
tourism ventures, here and internationally.<br />
We have equipped our teaching facilities with<br />
the very best the world has to offer. We use<br />
Events Pro industry software for eventmanagement,<br />
tourism-simulated learning<br />
experiences, and fully operational restaurants<br />
with commercial training kitchens. VenU is our<br />
brand new training restaurant, fitted with<br />
state-of-the-art facilities and seating 100 guests.<br />
We partner with tourism bodies throughout<br />
Australia, as well as international partner<br />
Le Cordon Bleu, making your studies and work<br />
placements immediately relevant and practical<br />
to your future career.<br />
VU is the only university to be inducted into the<br />
<strong>Victoria</strong>n Tourism Awards Hall of Fame. Our<br />
Bachelor of Business in Hospitality and Tourism<br />
courses are EPAS accredited. They are the first<br />
courses in Australia to receive this accreditation<br />
from the European Foundation for Management<br />
Development (EFMD).<br />
Industry has now awarded VU the state award<br />
for tourism education six times.<br />

TRANSPORT<br />
<strong>AND</strong> LOGISTICS<br />
The VU lecturers have<br />
real, current industry<br />
experience. They made<br />
us question things and<br />
see things in a way<br />
we’d never seen them<br />
before. This critical<br />
thinking is crucial for<br />
my everyday work.”<br />

Look around your world and you’ll soon realise<br />
that everything we rely on – from food to<br />
cosmetics, computer products and medical<br />
supplies – has arrived at its destination via a<br />
complex supply chain and logistics network.<br />
With a qualification in transport, logistics and<br />
supply chain at VU, you can connect with any<br />
industry, anywhere in the world. Whether<br />
it’s the transportation of precious goods,<br />
managing major events, international trade or<br />
co-ordinating disaster relief, every industry<br />
relies on supply chains.<br />
You may also be considering a career in forklift<br />
or heavy vehicle operations, warehousing,<br />
purchasing or the legal and environmental<br />
implications around supply chain management.<br />
With a predicted industry shortage of 24,000<br />
people within four years in <strong>Victoria</strong> alone, you’ll<br />
be in hot demand when you graduate.<br />
VU’s Institute for Logistics and Supply Chain<br />
Management has partnerships with local,<br />
national and multinational enterprises and<br />
government, providing workplace learning and<br />
research opportunities.<br />

GLOBAL LEARNING<br />
Learning another culture<br />
and travelling over Europe<br />
has contributed to my<br />
personal and academic<br />
development. You learn<br />
so much about history,<br />
culture and languages.”<br />
OLIVIA GUMIENNY, BACHELOR OF EDUCATION<br />
ATTENDED JÖNKÖPING UNIVERSITY,<br />
SWEDEN, 2010<br />
INTERNATIONAL APPROACH<br />
Melbourne is a multicultural city, and the diversity of<br />
our student body is a true reflection of that.<br />
We have around 3000 international students<br />
studying onshore, who bring with them 100<br />
cultures from around the world. And with over<br />
40 per cent of our local students reporting the<br />
use of a language other than English at home,<br />
we are very much a global community.<br />
International students choose us for our strong course<br />
pathways and linkages from our overseas partner<br />
campuses, and because our outstanding facilities<br />
and support services will ensure that their experience<br />
is rich and rewarding. We offer a wide range of<br />
learning and support, and teach in the workplace, in<br />
classrooms, locally and internationally.<br />
INTERNATIONAL<br />
CURRICULUM<br />
Our global partners include big business, educational<br />
institutions and community groups. These partnerships<br />
and collaborations help us keep up to date with global<br />
markets and work practices, so our curriculum stays at<br />
the forefront of industry standards. Our international<br />
research helps develop courses, and has outcomes that<br />
assist our local and global communities.<br />
