After that, I decided to continue with a Masters in Business Administration and ERP at VU in Melbourne. VU was the only university that offered a double Masters in MBA and ERP.

The VU lecturers are great. They are very knowledgeable and respected in their fields, and their experience in the industry has had a positive impact on me.”

“After I graduated from my undergraduate degree I planned to do my Masters abroad as it was my father’s wish. I looked at different universities in different countries, but I chose Australia because it is the land of opportunity and the weather is almost the same as in Pakistan. I chose Victoria University, as I believed that it would lead me towards success.

The lecturers at Victoria University are highly qualified, co-operative, helpful and have given me the variety of knowledge to think across the issues. After completing my masters, I will hopefully continue further education with Victoria University and eventually become a journalist or anchor person.”

SOCiAL, COMMUNiTy ANd yOUTH dEVELOPMENTmaria lourdes d. Boone. graduate diploma of international community development

“I received an Australian Award in 2013, which gave me the opportunity to study in Australia. VU offered the best curriculum in international community development, and I started my Graduate Diploma in mid-2014. Interacting with the multicultural environment at VU is also one of the best things about VU.

Going back to my home country and applying what I have learned is my next step. I hope to contribute solutions to the local needs and problems in the Philippines.”

“I played professional cricket for more than a decade and needed further education to help me once I retired from the game.

I chose VU because of its links to professional sporting organisations, outstanding research facilities and well-respected staff. My supervisor was one of my first teachers during my undergraduate degree.

My PhD looks at altitude training for enhancing team sport athlete performance. At VU, students are offered placements at elite sporting teams, elite athletes are supported with flexible study, and sporting clubs get access to facilities and the latest research.”

Since colonisation in 1788, Australia has become home to many immigrants from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America and elsewhere. Today, Australia is one of the most multicultural nations on earth and one of the most successful to harmoniously blend such diversity.

Australians value and respect the freedom and dignity of the individual, freedom of religion, the rule of law, parliamentary democracy, equality of men and women, mutual respect, tolerance, fair play, compassion for those in need and pursuit of the public good.Australian society values equality of opportunity for individuals, regardless of their race, religion or ethnic background.

Qualification standards displayed on this page are indicative only, and achieving one of these goals does not guarantee a placement into a Victoria University course. The entry requirements should only be applied after it has been established the degree the applicant holds as an entry qualification is deemed comparable to an Australian degree according to the AEI-NOOSR country education profiles for the country where the qualification has been awarded. Meeting the entry requirement does not waive the requirement for the entry degree to be assessed as comparable to an Australian degree. Some courses may require academic results that are higher than results stated in this document.
