Our history

Today’s Victoria University is a direct descendant of Footscray Technical School (the School), which first opened its doors to students in February 1916.

It was intended by local businesses and community to offer students an education that would fit them for a role in the skilled workforce and raise students out of the ranks of unskilled labourers. The School adopted the image of the ‘Door of Opportunity’ as a means of expressing to the entire community its purpose and reason for existence.

Victoria University proudly inherits that spirit and tradition.

Our vision to be open and excellent, creating exceptional value for any student from any background and uplifting the communities in which we operate, is based in strong foundations laid nearly a century ago.

As an international student at Victoria University (VU), you will be required to pay your tuition fees up front each semester.

There may also be additional materials fees throughout your studies, depending on your chosen course, as well as an administrative fee as part of your course application.

Tuition fees

Calculating your tuition fees

The tuition fees that you are charged will depend on:

Tuition fees are indexed (increased) each year, at the beginning of the calendar year. Current international student tuition fees are published in our online course finder as well as in the international course guide.

How your fees are calculated

Higher education fees

Your fees are charged per semester or trimester with the equivalent full-time enrolment of 48 credit points or 0.5 equivalent full-time study load (EFTSL).

If you change your load from the standard 48 credit points or 0.5 EFTSL, your fees will adjust accordingly.

Vocational education (TAFE) fees

For vocational education students, your tuition fees are charged per semester based on the full-time study load for each course.

Research fees

Your tuition fees are indicative and may vary. They are calculated by multiplying your study load by the annualised course fee. The study load for a research enrolment for a 6-month enrolment period is usually 0.5 full time or 0.25 part-time. Your tuition fees calculations are on a daily rate.
