The End of the Cram: How the Block Model® Changed Everything

The End of the Cram: How the Block Model® Changed Everything Victoria University (VU) is the first in Australia to introduce the VU Block Model®, a revolutionary wayof teaching that has been an “award-winning game-changer”. Instead of the traditional model ofjuggling four subjects over a long semester, VU students focus on one subject at a time in four-week“blocks”. The End of the Cram: How the Block Model® Changed Everything The results of the Block Model speak for themselves: the pass rate for international students is over 94%. By focusing on one subject, students can “dive fully into the unit” and maintain a healthy work-life balance that is often impossible in high-stress traditional models. Industry Connections in the CBD VU’s state-of-the-art City Tower in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD allows business students to be “fully immersed” in the professional world. Partnerships with major companies like ANZ and KPMG ensure that networking happens pre-graduation. In the west, VU is a leader in health research, with campuses connected directly to major hospitals like the new Footscray Hospital. Uniquely VU: Top for Experience Students have rated the overall quality of their educational experience at VU higher than any other university in Victoria. This high satisfaction is driven by small, workshop-style classes where students build hands-on skills rather than just sitting in large lecture halls. Takeaway If multitasking is scientifically proven to be less efficient, why are we still studying four subjects at once when we could be using the Block Model?.
