Student experience
Students in the La Trobe Business School are part of a supportive and vibrant community, where they learn from world class academics, industry practitioners and each other.
Our students contribute to the development of positive, safe and supportive learning environments – and the diversity of our student body is a key strength of our School.

At La Trobe University, we have a longstanding commitment to diversity, inclusion and social justice; our students are amongst the most diverse of all Australian universities, and we are committed to providing a learning environment and workplace where all students and staff feel valued, respected and supported to achieve their full potential.
We care about building a connected community that actively champions diversity and inclusion to help people thrive. We achieve this by supporting our people, valuing diverse thinking as a key driver of innovation, and holding ourselves to account in delivering a culture where equity is a way of life.
