About La Trobe University

At La Trobe University, we believe in preparing our students for a lifelong career. We’re making an impact through practical and real-world learning across our seven campuses in Melbourne, regional Victoria and Sydney. We offer courses across all levels of study, from undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, all the way up to research degrees. We also offer flexible pathways and partnership study options, to ensure there’s always a way into your dream course.


As a top 1% university worldwide and the state’s #1 university for employer satisfaction, we blend high-quality teaching with a hands-on approach to ensure our students have right mix of skill, knowledge and experience to succeed. Work-integrated learning and industry placements are built into many of our courses, so students gain practical skills and experience inside and outside of the classroom.


Our main campus in Melbourne is one of the largest in Australia, where you can study courses from all interest areas. Discover a rich student life with a full calendar of social events, clubs and more. You can also get active with our multi-million-dollar Sports Park and Sports Centre or explore the local flora and fauna at La Trobe’s on-campus wildlife sanctuary. Get a classic university experience while surrounded by a scenic Australian bushland setting – but just a tram ride from the city centre.


With a strong presence across regional Victoria, our campuses in Bendigo, Mildura, Shepparton and Albury-Wodonga offer strong industry connections, a relaxed lifestyle and access to a range of scholarships and additional career opportunities. For students who prefer to be in the heart of the city, our metropolitan campuses in Melbourne CBD and Sydney CBD provide easy access to some of Australia’s largest businesses and employers, public transport network, and surrounded by the best shopping and dining Australia has to offer.


Studying abroad can be an overwhelming experience, especially for students living independently for the first time. We offer generous scholarships to help take the financial pressure of our students, and take seriously the safety and security of international students studying and living with us through a range of services and 24/7 campus security.
