No. Universal sentences are preserved under substructures. Every infinite -vector space has its zero subspace as an -substructure, since zero is named and every scalar multiplication preserves it. This one-element structure is not infinite and is not a model of . Thus the model class is not closed under substructures and has no universal axiomatization, even relative to the vector-space axioms.
