Our VU Block Model explained

Maneesha, VU student

One of the things I love most about studying at Victoria University is the VU Block Model.

At other unis, you'd usually be studying four subjects at once and have all your exams crammed at the end of the semester.

But at VU, you study one subject at a time in four week blocks.

It means you can really focus and go deep into each of your subjects before you move on to the next one, so you feel like you can really master your skills and get better results.

You're only at uni three days a week and for three hours each time, which means it makes it so much easier to manage your time, still fit in your work, family, friends, and all those other commitments that we have.

It's not just sitting in lecture theatres.

You learn in smaller classes so your voice never gets lost in those big crowds.

You really feel like you get to know your teacher and your classmates, and so you feel so much more connected and you get feedback along the way.

It's more hands-on and focused on practical skills and that makes it so much more fun and engaging to learn.

So in the end, you get so much more out of your uni experience and it really does set you up to achieve your best.
