How to apply - Diplomas
A Diploma introduces you to a discipline and can lead to a Bachelor's degree. Often, you can receive credit for studies completed during your Diploma, meaning you'll finish your degree sooner.

Ensure your application is submitted in time

Applying for a Diploma
Apply through VTAC if you studied Year 12 in 2021, or are applying to more than one institution, or applying for multiple undergraduate La Trobe courses that are available for application through VTAC. If you are applying to the Diploma of Sport Coaching and Development or the Diploma of Elite Sport you should apply here.
Alternatively, if you did not study Year 12 in 2021 and only intend to apply for one of the Diploma courses at La Trobe you can apply direct to the University.
Please note: VTAC applications cannot be withdrawn in order to submit a direct application. The same selection criteria and entry standards are applied to VTAC and direct applications.
