La Trobe College Australia offers English language programs and alternative academic pathways to La Trobe University undergraduate programs. The college has been part of the University's main campus in Melbourne since 1974, and we are proud to offer one of the most diverse international student populations in Australia.

The College is located at the picturesque La Trobe University Melbourne Campus in Melbourne and at the La Trobe University Sydney Campus, overlooking Hyde Park in Sydney's central business district. In both locations, we offer a supportive learning environment with small class sizes designed to enhance the success rate of our students.

English programs offered in Melbourne include: General English and English for Further Studies (Academic English). Here at La Trobe College Australia, we provide learning and teaching technologies, a fully resourced Independent Learning Centre in Melbourne, as well as cultural events and activities.

All La Trobe College Australia students are welcome to access a full range of University facilities in Melbourne and Sydney, including library, computer/study halls, sports centre, clubs and associations, and more. I look forward to welcoming you to the college community and encourage you to make La Trobe College Australia the first step in achieving your goals.
