For over 50 years, La Trobe University has provided the foundation for successful careers. More than 200,000 students have graduated with us – among them are CEOs of some of our most prominent organisations, parliamentarians, human rights activists, medical researchers and Olympians.

We’ve built a strong emphasis on excellence in all areas of the student experience, placing us firmly within the top 1.4 per cent of universities globally*. We’ve also cultivated a reputation for our world-class research, propelling us into the top 10 universities in Australia**.

These accolades come with providing the right opportunities to help our students excel during and after their studies.

Our Career Ready program has been designed in consultation with industry leaders, enabling our students to build the skills and attributes employers want so they may thrive in an evolving workforce.

Work Integrated Learning is a major component of many of our courses, allowing our students to take placements with organisations like CSIRO, the Australian Synchrotron, PwC and our numerous hospital partners.

Hands-on experience is also vital. We’ve establishe a number of on-campus facilities where our students put the theory they learn into practice – from aspirindg journalists and entrepreneurs to passionate scientists and allied health students.
