The University has several campuses in Melbourne's CBD and western region, including two in Footscray, and one in Sydney. It also offers courses at partner institutions throughout Asia, including China, India, Kuwait, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam. More than 47,000 students, including around 15,000 international students, studied VU courses worldwide in 2014.
