WHY CHOOSE LA�TROBE? It is very convenient - located right in the heart of Sydney. I’ve met so many different people from all over the world, so many different cultures. This has given me a different perspective on life. As for the lecturers, they are very helpful and surprisingly friendly. They use real life examples when teaching to help you understand concepts easier.

If you are planning to come and study in Australia, I would say just do it! It’s been a real life-changing experience for me and will be for you, too. La�Trobe University Sydney Campus provides a great environment for studying.

By choosing La�Trobe, you’re choosing to get real-world experience, gain a global perspective and study alongside people who are pushing the boundaries.

BE THE DIFFERENCEWhen you graduate with a La�Trobe degree, you’ll join more than 180�000 others who have gone on to transform lives, professions and communities. Among them are CEOs of some of our most prominent organisations, parliamentarians, human rights activists, medical researchers and Olympians.

They’re also nurses, teachers, journalists, engineers, artists and lawyers who make a difference to the world we live in. Their stories are remarkable and we’d like to share them with you.

Watch them at: latrobe.edu.au/be-the-difference

YOUR CAREER IS OUR JOB We’ve made Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Global Citizenship and Sustainability Thinking central to all of our undergraduate courses to make sure you graduate prepared for today’s workplace. We call these three vital areas of learning the La�Trobe Essentials.

Find out how our Essentials will prepare you for success: latrobe.edu.au/essentials

We also encourage you to participate in our internship program to compliment your studies. This will ensure you graduate with industry experience and a network of professional contacts.

CREATE KNOWLEDGE By studying with us, you’ll be part of a community that’s contributing to new knowledge. We are among the top ten research universities in Australia and 82 per cent of our research areas have been assessed to be at above, or well above world class (2015 Excellence in Research for Australia National Report).

Our researchers at the La�Trobe Institute for Molecular Science are looking for new ways to fight disease, while at AgriBio we’re tackling climate change, drought and other threats to Australia’s agriculture. At the La�Trobe Rural Health School, we’re improving health and wellbeing in rural and regional communities.

MAKE THE WORLD YOUR CAMPUS To solve global problems, you’ll need a global perspective, so we encourage you to take part in our overseas programs as part of your studies. You could study law in Shanghai, nanotechnology in Tokyo, archaeology in Mexico or urban planning

in Sri Lanka. Recently, we gave travel grants and scholarships to more than 850 La�Trobe students to study with partners like Michigan State University and the University of Essex.

Of course you don’t have to travel to be a global citizen – we also bring the world to you. More than 8�000 international students study with us, making our campuses some of the most diverse in Australia. 

YOU MATTER From day one, you’ll have access to a support network of people who will help you get the most out of university. Our mentors and orientation buddies will help you develop your study skills, including advice on assignment and thesis writing. Our Student Counselling Service and resident psychologist offer individual and small group counselling to support you when you need it, and our Internship Office runs workshops and events to help you start your career.

We’ll help you make a smooth transition to university life, support you throughout your studies, prepare you for work, and help you find the job you want.

I heard that this campus had a friendly environment and friendly staff. It’s true – best staff ever! My foundation program lecturers were very supportive and easy to ask for help with exams and assessments. My diploma is ‘uni life’ so the teaching is different but you still get all the help you need. My English has also improved and I’m able to communicate better with other students. Eventually, I want to study a master’s program at La�Trobe!

I liked the look of La�Trobe University because it was an established university with a large student population. Then my cousins recommended La�Trobe University Sydney Campus, so I decided to study in Sydney. There are really good lecturers here and because of the small number of students in the class, there’s always the opportunity to get help with assessments or anything you have trouble with.

Estimate how much money you’ll have each week from your job, parents, Centrelink and/or scholarship and how much you’ll spend�–�include everything! Then work out how much cash you’ll need each week for day-to-day expenses, and only ever withdraw this amount. Get more tips on our website: latrobe.edu.au/students/new-students/ready4uni
