Overall the great thing about this degree is the variety of subjects on offer. You also get the opportunity to get practical experience on archaeological digs. I love the overall atmosphere of La Trobe – it's very welcoming and I really appreciate the library, it's a resource goldmine.

The best thing about my course is the variety of subjects to choose from – I'm majoring in Politics and Literature, along with a few Economics subjects for a bit of variety. I've also been able to undertake work with a politician to parallel my studies.

I think my course is amazing! I love the fact that we get lots of electives to choose from and I have met so many likeminded people. What I love most about La Trobe is the strong sense of community and the environment.

I enjoy the field trips which puts our learning into reality and teaches us in a practical way. The course also offers fantastic opportunities to travel overseas - this year I have gone on study tours to Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

Bachelor of Social Sciences – Melbourne campus

Having worked in the family business for ten years I felt the need to further my education. Though Sociology was my last choice of subjects it has come to rival my passion for English. It has engaged me in ways I never thought possible.
