India Gets First VU Campus With Unique Block Model
4 Dec
Summary
- Victoria University opens its first Indian campus in Gurugram mid-2026.
- The campus will pioneer the VU Block Model, teaching one subject over four weeks.
- This model aims to enhance student focus and reduce academic overload.
Victoria University's first Indian campus is slated to open in Gurugram by mid-2026, marking a significant expansion under India's National Education Policy. The university, an Australian institution, is laying the groundwork for this new facility, which will introduce the distinctive VU Block Model to Indian students for the first time. This model revolutionizes learning by having students concentrate on one subject for a four-week duration in small, interactive classes.
The Gurugram campus will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in business, information technology, and research, drawing inspiration from VU's Melbourne campus design. The Block Model, which has demonstrated a 94 percent pass rate in Australia, focuses on improving student concentration and easing academic burdens. Its success has already led to adoption in Malaysia and Sri Lanka.
Australian and Indian officials attended the foundation-laying ceremony on December 4, 2025, emphasizing the collaborative effort. The campus aims to provide Indian students with access to global-standard higher education within the country, offering a cost-effective and inclusive pathway to academic success without the need to study abroad.
