The Carlton College of Sport offers a unique learning program with a Higher Education Diploma in Sport Coaching and Development.

The partnership between La Trobe and Melbourne City Football Club focuses on research collaborations and student internships in sport science and allied health services.

The partnership between La Trobe and Melbourne Rebels includes high performance research and exclusive internships in key departments. It increases opportunities for women in sport and provides unique game day experiences.

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.

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.
