At Victoria University, we offer one of Australia's largest programs in sport, exercise and health science. Our engineering program also contributes to healthy living through its focus on green construction, and community needs.

From nursing, physiotherapy and fitness to building design, our courses are held in high regard both in Australia and around the world. We have carved a niche in the osteopathy and dermal therapy sectors, being one of very few universities in Australia offering accredited courses in these areas. And in sport science, we are ranked in the top 10 in the world.

Our curriculum is developed with industry input and informed by our world-class research institutes. Our courses will equip you with the practical skills and confidence to achieve your career goals in health, sport, or engineering industries.
