Leadership Programmes

Victoria Plus is an award given when you graduate, recognising your significant extra-curricular contribution to volunteering and student support work within the University and wider Wellington community. This three-part programme helps develop leadership, social responsibility and employability skills.

Victoria International Leadership Programme (VILP) is an academically-orientated, extra-curricular programme, structured around the themes of global leadership, cross-cultural communication and global connectedness. Over the course of your degree(s) it will enhance your leadership skills, international knowledge and intercultural awareness.

Student Exchange

Victoria Overseas Exchange (Vic OE) allows you, as a Victoria student, (domestic or international), to broaden your horizons and realize your potential by travelling overseas to complete a trimester or year of your Victoria University degree at one of our partner institutions, which offer some of the highest quality educational opportunities worldwide. Employers value qualities such as communication, innovation and leadership gained through the exchange experience.
