Know the institution before you apply
Victoria University began in August 2013 with an approach to learning centred on practical, hands-on experience. In August 2022 it was awarded a university charter.
Its work-integrated learning model places students in real jobs during their studies, so a three-year programme can include two to three years of work experience. The university describes its VU Block Model as a first in Africa.
NCHE lists this record as a University with status “Chartered University” and 79 programmes.
VU Block ModelCourses taught in focused blocks rather than many at once.
