Undergraduate Guide 2023

La Trobe University

Study your way We've created the new La Trobe study model so you can tailor your uni experience the way you want. From on campus to online study – or a combo of both through StudyFlex™ – you can design study to fit around your life. You can also broaden your career options further. With more majors, minors and deeper specialisations now available, you can even include subjects outside your course.1 Same with work – industry experience can count as credits – and help fast track your career.

So whatever you’re imagining as the perfect way to study your degree, you can create it here. Because this is La Trobe BY you.

Tailor your study

Shape your degree

Build your industry expertise

Get the best of both worlds with StudyFlex™

More majors, minors and subjects

Gain credits for industry experience

Our new StudyFlex™ option lets you mix online and on-campus learning, with at least one third of your course available to study online or on campus.

This means more opportunities to explore your passions and your ambitions. For example, you could add our climate change minor to your degree and become your future organisation’s environmental leader.

With industry placements incorporated into many of our courses, you can gain valuable work experience that counts as credits toward your chosen degree.

Study online – anywhere, anytime When you study online with La Trobe, you’ll learn from teachers with online expertise, while benefiting from one-on-one tutoring and around-the-clock support.

Learn from wherever you live Live outside of Melbourne? If you study online, Regional Connect gives you access to all our world-class facilities, local industry placements and campus networks.

Study in areas that go beyond your degree Combine your degree with a major and/or minor from another discipline to gain the important cross-skills that are highly sought after. Studying health sciences? Consider adding a management major to boost your employability.

More pathways to take towards a full degree Our new range of Diploma pathways let you transition directly to second year of a La Trobe Bachelor's degree. And early entry programs like Aspire help secure your place at La Trobe.

Industry experience built into your degree You can also gain credits for industry experience through our new industry placement minor, available across many of our degrees. Focus on your chosen industry and build your professional networks before you graduate.

Honours

Scored/unscored VCE

If you're applying to La Trobe with an ATAR, adjustment factors are additional considerations we can apply to your application based on your personal circumstances and performance. Adjustment factors may be added to your raw ATAR.

Honours studies are advanced studies attached to undergraduate degrees that give you a higher qualification than a three-year degree. Many people do Honours so they can continue to postgraduate studies.

A scored VCE program gives you an ATAR and requires you to complete coursework and exams for a minimum of four subjects. Under the unscored VCE option, you complete the VCE coursework but do not sit final exams and are not given an ATAR.

Advanced standing If you’ve completed relevant, formally recognised studies at another uni or TAFE or have suitable work experience, you may get advanced standing (also known as ‘credit’) for some or all of your studies when you enrol at uni. This means you may finish your degree faster.

Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) VTAC or UAC gives you an ATAR (a number between 0.00 and 99.95) to rank your Year 12 results against other students’ results.

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) When you’re offered a CSP, the government subsidises your course fees and you only need to pay for part of your tuition, known as the ‘student contribution amount’. All domestic undergraduate places at La Trobe are CSPs.

Early entry program These programs can provide an alternate way to enter your dream university course by considering factors outside of your ATAR to gain entry into university.

Depending on your course, this may involve an additional year of study, although some courses have it built in.

Industry placements Industry placements integrate educational theory and workplace experience, preparing you to be work ready, world ready and future ready.

Major A major is a way to specialise in your course. It’s made up of a sequence of related subjects spread over the duration of an undergraduate course. You’ll usually undertake at least one subject from your major each semester, and you must pass each subject to move on to the next one in the sequence.

Pathways Pathways let you enter your chosen course through another qualification. For example, the Diploma of Arts is one pathway to a Bachelor of Arts. Going from Year 12 to TAFE and then uni is another. You can also start a La Trobe degree with a lower entry requirement and apply for a transfer to your preferred degree. Read more on page 12.

Entry requirements

Prerequisites

Each course has different requirements you need to meet to be granted entry. These requirements are usually made up of qualifications, subjects or exam grades. Course prerequisites and other extra requirements, such as interviews and portfolios, are outlined on our website:

Prerequisites are the subjects you must have completed in previous study to be eligible for consideration in a specific uni course.

VET Vocational Education and Training.

Weighted Average Mark (WAM) The calculation La Trobe uses instead of the Grade Point Average (GPA). A student’s WAM is calculated by using the following formula: Sum of (final marks x subject credit points) / sum of total credit points = WAM.
