As one of Australia’s only dual-sector universities, VU offers both TAFE courses and Higher Education degrees with seamless pathways – so wherever you’re starting from, you can create a future that’s uniquely your own. Putting students at the heart of everything we do shapes how we teach, support and partner with our community. We’re Victoria’s #1 uni for skills development and peer engagement (QILT, 2024), reflecting a student experience built on practical learning, strong support and a genuine sense of belonging. Our Australian-first VU Block Model lets students learn more deeply, focusing on one subject at a time in smaller, interactive classes – and getting results they can be proud of, with HD grades increasing by over 50% since it launched. With our ‘Flipped Campus’ model, students gain hands-on industry opportunities while studying with partners co-located on campus. In 2025, VU students completed 37,000+ placements across our partner network, helping build momentum for their careers. We’re also home to globally recognised research in health, sport, education and sustainability – including a #6 global ranking in sport science (ShanghaiRanking, 2025). Our commitment to Protecting Country is embedded in our teaching, research and operations, guided by our First Nations Action Plan and the Moondani Balluk Indigenous Academic Unit. With students who speak 320+ languages from 180+ countries, and 46% first in their families to attend uni, we pride ourselves on diversity and community connection. Our global footprint includes eight campuses across Australia, a 100% online offering, a flagship VU campus in India, and international students at partner institutes in Malaysia, China, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. 📲 Stay connected: instagram.com/victoriauniversity tiktok.com/@victoriauniversity facebook.com/victoria.university youtube.com/victoriauniversity CRICOS Provider No. 00124K (Melbourne) / 02475D (Sydney & Brisbane) / RTO Code: 3113

Dance changes you. More than simply witnessing something beautiful, or engaging with culture, to experience dance is to be positively altered. From performances at the Joyce Theatre in New York, to the Grand in Shanghai, the Stanislavsky in Moscow and the Sydney Opera House at home, Sydney Dance Company has proven that there are no passive observers in a contemporary dance audience. The reward of truly moving audiences, and the raw pride of sharing Australian art with the world has driven our ensemble of 16 dancers, led by Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela, to become one of the world’s strongest forces in contemporary dance. Alongside Bonachela’s original works, our programs have featured guest choreographers like Jacopo Godani, Alexander Ekman, Gideon Obarzanek and Cheng Tsung-Lung as well as collaborations with the Sydney Festival, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, David Jones and composers Bryce Dessner, Nick Wales, 48nord and Ezio Bosso. Sydney Dance Company has a broad community beyond the practice and performance of our lead dancers. We believe in the universality of dance, and with the largest public dance class program in Australia, we help over 80,000 people a year connect with the grace, strength and creativity that lives within all of us. Our nation-wide education program offers a strategic curriculum targeting primary and secondary students through to career focused study for pre-professional dancers and university graduates.
