With state-of-the-art campuses in two of Australia’s most famous cities, La Trobe College Australia provides a well-balanced student life and a wide variety of study options for students who may need additional support in meeting academic and/or English requirements for university entry. Its undergraduate certificate, diploma, foundation, and English programmes – taught in a supportive and tailored study environment – enable students to gain entry into their first or second year studies at La Trobe University.
La Trobe College’s diplomas are equivalent to the first year of a university degree, so students can progress directly into the second year of their bachelor’s without any extra time added to their studies. They also have the option of completing the 12-month diploma in just eight months, allowing them to complete their university degree in a shorter period.
The Foundation Studies course at La Trobe College provides students with direct access to the first year of a wide range of bachelor’s degrees at the university. Depending on their interests, students can pursue foundation studies in Business, IT, and Humanities, Engineering and Computer Science, or Health and Life Sciences. The college’s General English and English for Further Studies courses allow students to improve their English language skills. The General English programme focuses on core communication, grammar and vocabulary, and computer skills, while English for Further Studies develops academic language skills like essay writing.
With excellent facilities, modern technology, support services, and small class sizes, La Trobe College is designed to help students succeed and gain confidence before embarking on their university-level studies.

Throughout their academic journey at La Trobe College, students can access support tailored to specific challenges they may face. Student Learning Advisors, Student Mentors, and Academic Coordinators ensure that students can smoothly transition from pre-university to university-level studies, offering advice on research and library skills, referencing, and exam preparation. Students can also seek advice from and talk to Peer-Assisted Learning Mentors about their study experiences. Additionally, confidential counselling services are available for students who may need a safe space to explore and address any problems that could affect their studies.
La Trobe College also guides international students through their pre-departure and arrival processes, offering advice on student visas and accommodation. An orientation programme welcomes students to the college with an interactive campus tour, introductions to staff members, and social events to meet new friends.
The college’s campuses are located in Bundoora, Melbourne, and Sydney, where students can access a range of housing options. At the Melbourne campus, students can choose to live at one of its four on-campus residential colleges — North and South Apartments, Glenn College, Menzies College, and Chisholm College.
Accommodation Officers at La Trobe can help international students arrange homestays with families, where they are immersed in the Australian lifestyle and culture. Both the Melbourne and Sydney campuses are situated in convenient locations, giving students who choose to live off-campus a wide range of options for apartments or shared houses within short distances to the college.
La Trobe College campuses – located in La Trobe University’s Melbourne Campus and in Sydney – are diverse and brimming with opportunities, allowing students to explore their interests and meet people from around the world. To help students feel more at home and enjoy a well-rounded student lifestyle, the college offers a variety of amenities, including theatres, student kitchens, clinics, indoor sports centres, and prayer rooms.
The Melbourne campus is La Trobe University’s largest and inherits the city’s multicultural and friendly culture. There are countless activities for students to explore in this diverse environment, including some of Melbourne’s top attractions such as the Melbourne Museum, the Melbourne Zoo, the National Gallery of Victoria, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Alongside Melbourne, Sydney is also one of the world’s most liveable cities. Its stunning beaches and iconic landmarks, like the Sydney Opera House, offer plenty of activities and experiences for international students.
Both cities have international airports – the Melbourne International Airport and the Sydney Airport – and La Trobe College offers airport pickup services to arrive a convenient and stress-free experience for new students.
