The region offers a healthy lifestyle in a mild to temperate climate. The University is home to over 20,000 students, including 3,000 international students.

Victoria University is a comprehensive university with seven faculties offering undergraduate and postgraduate internationally recognized, world class qualifications: Architecture & Design, Commerce & Administration, Education, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law, and Science.
