Why The Education Centre of Australia - Victoria University (VU) - Sydney
  • The VU Block Model: The award-winning VU Block Model has improved student results and the student experience. Students will study one subject over a four week 'block', or two subjects over eight weeks, depending on the course. This allows students to focus on one or two subjects and receive their results before moving onto the next block. International students at VU Sydney are performing particularly well under the Block Model, achieving average pass rates of 90%.
  • Location: A melting pot of cultures, cuisines and international events, Sydney prides itself on being a multicultural metropolis. Besides its culturally diverse reputation, Sydney is famed for its spectacular harbour and beaches; internationally renowned sights such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge; world-class restaurants; and bustling nightlife. Students at VU Sydney will never be short of things to see and do between classes.
  • Safe and Supportive Community: Victoria University - Sydney is a welcoming and inclusive university in one of Australia’s highest-ranked student cities. Australia is also ranked the safest country in the world for women, according to the 2019 Global Wealth Migration Review. VU celebrates cultural diversity and provides opportunities for all students to take part in community and social activities. VU has a vibrant social calendar, programs to promote student leadership, and activities to support community engagement. 

Features

18 out of 18 programs are eligible for Temporary Graduate Visa.

The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) allows international students who have recently graduated from an Australian institution to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily after they finish their studies.
This visa is divided into two streams:

  • Graduate Work stream – For international students who have skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on Australia's Skilled Occupation List. This stream grants a visa for up to 18 months.
  • Post-Study Work stream – For international students who have recently graduated with a degree from an Australian institution. This stream can grant a visa for 2 to 4 years depending on the qualification level (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree).

The Temporary Graduate Visa helps graduates gain work experience in Australia, and in some cases, it may also help them qualify for a skilled migration visa if they meet additional criteria.

Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.

If a student does not meet the minimum English requirement, they can still be conditionally accepted to their program of choice, on the condition of completing ELSIS' s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) prior to starting their chosen program.

Students need to plan their accommodations well in advance of their arrival as all accommodation options fill up quickly, well before the start of the semester.
