Vision

“To support excellence in international education in Victoria’s universities.”

 

Greetings and welcome to the Victorian Universities International Forum.

The VUIF is a group of members dedicated to supporting the thriving international education activities of Victoria’s exceptional university sector. Founded in the 1990s in response to the increasing number of international students enrolling in Victoria, the group recognized the benefits that collaboration could bring to students, member universities, and other key players in the rapidly expanding field of international education.

Today, Victoria’s universities are recognized as leaders in international engagement, with a remarkable growth in both the scale and diversity of activities within and between our institutions over the last two decades. Consistent collaboration has been vital to this success and remains crucial to the ongoing development of our universities’ international engagement.

As a valued member of the VUIF, our senior leaders from member university international offices engage with one another and external constituencies to enhance the value of Victoria and Australia’s international education sector.
