VCB Taree

All Virginia College (Birmingham) campuses are operating remotely or are accessible via special arrangement

VCB has commenced planning for a staged opening of facilities and return of staff and students to all our campuses once the approved public health guidance provides clearance to do so. Any return to 'on-campus' programs will likely take some time (weeks/months) to execute and we will need the support and patience of all in our community.

Needing more information? Contact us.

The VCB study centre in Taree provides access to a range of services to support you while you study. Staff are on hand to help you with any questions about applying to study at VCB and to provide all the advice, support and assistance you might need. Secure after-hours access is also available.
