We take a contemporary approach to study. It's the VU Way.

Our multi-award-winning Blended Learning model replaces paper with user-friendly e-learning. This means you can study anytime, anywhere while staying connected. You can refine your skills in practical face-to-face workshops, hands-on learning and work placements.
You’ll gain experience using actual workplace equipment and the latest technologies. The Cyber Security training centre at St Albans campus has simulated environments where you become a data hacker or cyber protector and put your skills to the test.
At our newly-launched Sunshine Skills Hub, the purpose-built facility has a high-tech nursing simulation lab, 3D printing facilities and a paramedic lab fitted with an ambulance pod. These are just some of the innovative learning environments on offer.
