VISION & MISSION
Victoria University's 2016–2020 Strategic Plan was launched on 27 May 2016 with a strategy comprising three key elements:
position ourselves as an open and excellent university
pursue a transformational agenda
ensure financial sustainability.
Our refreshed Strategic Plan extends our focus beyond 2020 to the end of 2021 and provides an updated view of our transformation in action. As a strategy, it will help us continue to prioritise and focus our efforts and resources to deliver on a change agenda that is reshaping our very understanding of what is possible in tertiary education in Australia.
Key initiatives such as The VU Way, our institution-wide commitment to place-based planetary health, and the move towards a precinct-based Campus Master Plan will firm the foundations for VU to become a great university of the future.
We want VU to be a great place to learn, a great place to work and do great things within our community.
