University partnerships
Our academic staff contribute to key University partnerships including:
The partnership between La Trobe and Carlton Football Club enhances education and community outcomes in Melbourne’s North and gives students the opportunity to benefit from exclusive work placements across the Club. The Carlton College of Sport offers a unique learning program with a Higher Education Diploma in Sport Coaching and Development.
The Commonwealth Bank Matildas have their very own purpose-built, high-performance home base at La Trobe. The facility is available for the team's exclusive use whenever they are in camp, providing an elite training environment that caters to every need the team requires as the pre-eminent facility in the region.
The Home of the Matildas at La Trobe University is also the home of Football Victoria and hosts their administrative activities, high performance training, development and recovery programs.
The partnership between La Trobe and Medibank is driving research, making world class health services accessible to more people, and supporting better outcomes for La Trobe employees and students. Our students can secure valuable industry knowledge and experience through work placements, co-designed professional development programs and involvement in real world projects.
La Trobe University will soon be the home of the Victorian State Rugby Centre of Excellence and Rugby Victoria. The facility at the La Trobe University Sports Park, currently under development, will be home to the Melbourne Rebels Super-W program, all underage Victorian representative teams, academies, and the Rugby Victoria Pasifika Program.
This partnership between La Trobe and Sheffield Hallam University (United Kingdom) provides students from both universities with international learning opportunities, with students spending a portion of their study in the UK and Australia, helping to enrich their university experience, and enhance their employability prospects. Both universities work closely together on research and innovation projects with global impact through shared expertise and resources.
