About the VU Block Model
How the VU Block Model works
The VU Block Model is an innovative, internationally recognised approach to teaching and learning that has a proven record of delivering career and academic success for graduates.
This model revolutionises traditional teaching methods by organising academic content into condensed, immersive blocks rather than semester-long courses. Each block typically spans four weeks and focuses on a single subject or topic, allowing students to delve deeply into the material without the distractions of multiple concurrent courses.
This immersive learning experience aims to enhance student engagement, retention, and overall academic performance. The VU Block Model has garnered attention for its effectiveness in promoting active learning, collaboration, and real-world application of knowledge, ultimately preparing students for success in their chosen fields.
