Victoria University has been working with the prestigious Central University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) in China to deliver Victoria University business degrees in international trade and financial risk management since 2004.

CUFE is recognised as one of China’s leading institutions through their inclusion as a Project 211 institution. CUFE also is a Chinese Ministry of Education Double First Class Discipline University, with Double First Class status in certain disciplines.

Courses

Students initially complete a two-year CUFE degree which incorporates English study (delivered by VU). They then choose to complete the final two years of the international trade/banking and finance degree in Beijing, or complete the degree with VU in Melbourne.

CUFE credit transfers

Since 2004, the Central University of Finance and Economics (CUFE) and Victoria University have had an articulation agreement. Student study for two years in a CUFE degree, with the remaining two years of study able to be completed in Melbourne.

In Melbourne, students are able to select any of the 11 Bachelor of Business majors; alternatively, students can remain in China to complete the International Trade and Financial Risk Management majors.

To transfer into VU's Bachelor of Business with only 4 semesters remaining, students need to successfully complete the first two years of the CUFE Bachelor of Economics degree pathway units.

Contact us if you're interested in applying for a certificate or diploma course; a bachelor degree (without credit) or a bachelor of law; a graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master course in Australia.
