Tertiary Education at VU looks different
The VU Block Model
At Victoria University (VU) we have revolutionised tertiary education in Australia with our multi-award-winning VU Block Model. 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 a four-week ‘block’. Students typically finish their block on a Friday and receive their results on the following Monday, taking away uncertainty and a long wait for results.
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.
