“It really prepared me for work in the health and nutrition industry.

During my final semester, I travelled to India on a study tour and was fully immersed in Indian food culture. We focused on maternal and early childhood health, and collected data regarding the nutritional status of Indian tribe sub-populations and their food intake. The entire experience has given me an advantage in liaising with health professionals, as well an understanding of the diverse needs and goals of a different country and culture. It was an opportunity that I learnt so much from.”

WHY IS VU’S BLOCK MODEL BETTER FOR ME?

YOU’LL FOCUS ON ONE SUBJECT AT A TIMEComplete one subject every four weeks before moving on to the next. At other universities, you need to complete multiple subjects at once, while at VU you’ll be fully focused on each subject.

YOU’LL BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCEThe progression of subjects in the Block Model will give you early feedback and success, and build confidence in your studies from day one.

YOU’LL FEEL SUPPORTEDSmaller classes mean you have more one-on-one time with your teachers and classmates. And with a timetable that can allow flexibility outside of uni, you can work, and spend time with family, friends and pursue other interests.
