La Trobe Melbourne

La Trobe Melbourne offers English language tuition so that once students successfully complete the English for Further Studies Advanced Stage 5B Certificate at an acceptable level; they may enter most courses without sitting a further English test. La Trobe Melbourne also offers foundation programs and diploma pathway programs for those students who may not meet undergraduate academic entry requirements. If students complete one of these programs at a successful level, they may be granted direct entry into an undergraduate program of their choice.
