Yes, Victoria University offers credit (also known as 'advanced standing') for relevant prior learning or work and life experience. This can reduce the number of units you need to complete. You can apply for credit during the course application process or after enrolment through the MyVU portal.

Applicants should check the course page for additional information requirements. A Working with Children Check is commonly required for professional placements in courses involving work with young people. If you are unable to complete this check, you should consider whether this course is suitable for you.

Yes, domestic undergraduate students who have received an offer but have not yet enrolled may defer their start date for up to 12 months for reasons such as work, travel, or personal circumstances. You must apply for deferral before enrolling by following the link in your acceptance email.

At Victoria University, the award-winning VU Block Model® means you study one subject at a time over four-week blocks, rather than multiple subjects simultaneously. This learner-centred approach also provides five opportunities across the year to start your course, offering more flexibility than traditional semester-based study.

You can apply for special consideration during your course application.
