The following year he declined a further contract with London Irish, instead continuing his academic studies at Loughborough University. He played for the university in rugby union National League 1 and in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Super Rugby. BUCS Super Rugby colour commentators described him as a "modern-day second row" and a "great all round athlete".[5] He was included in the training squad for England Students in 2018.[6]
On graduation, Vukašinović rejoined professional rugby, agreeing a contract with RFU Championship club London Scottish for the 2018/19 season.
