The VU Block Model

At Victoria University (VU) we have revolutionised tertiary education in Australia with our multi-award-winning VU Block Model. Feel confident and engaged in your studies with our unique VU Block Model®.

Study one subject at a time, learn in interactive, workshop-style classes, and be supported to reach your full potential.

Unlike the standard university model where students juggle multiple subjects at once over a semester, at VU students get to focus on one unit at a time over four-week or eight-week ‘blocks’, depending on the course.  Students complete all assessments for each unit (subject) within each four-week block and receive their results soon after the block finishes.

The top 3 reasons VU’s Block Model is the “New Way To Do Uni” are listed below:

1) Achieve more

Not only has Block Model seen pass rates increase, but more students are also becoming high achievers with Distinctions and High Distinctions grades increasing.

2) Stand out

Block class sizes are small, students get to know their classmates and teacher, and become a working team, not just a face in a lecture theatre. 

3) Build confidence

Learning in small, collaborative working groups, students are empowered to share ideas, debate concepts, and explore learning opportunities from their first class.
