Hear from our students
The best lecturers are just so inspiring and have left me with lasting motivation, even after the subject was completed. I found myself wanting to delve a bit deeper and consider pursue a career in that particular area of law. It's the small size of the class which enables more interaction with the lecturers.
La Trobe gives us the data and technology to keep up with industry – we dive straight into financial reports and the stock market. I feel confident facing any problem that arises because I know I can make a difference immediately.
The Achieve Plus program was a really great experience for me. It helped me be sure of what I wanted to study at university and allowed me to get ahead in some subjects before I started. It acted as a gateway into university.
