VCE Studies
The VCE is a two year or four semester course during which students are required to complete a minimum of 16 semester-length units of study. Each unit involves 100 hours of study, of which about half are provided in formal classroom situations.
Emphasis is placed on research and assignments that are completed outside of class time.
A VCE course chosen by students will consist of compulsory and interest based studies. English is a compulsory study, and students must choose a minimum of five other interest based subjects. The “Science/Humanities†rule is no longer applicable so, students may choose all Humanities/Arts or all Science/Maths or a mixture of both.
