Applying for the MBA

Applications are free and take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. To apply for the MBA you must apply direct to La Trobe University. Once we receive your application, we will contact you if we require any further information. If you are still gathering supporting information, we recommend you submit your application and use the notes section to inform us of your situation. We will then provide you with a conditional offer that will confirm your place in the course – as places are limited.
