At La Trobe, there’s more than one way into university through the Aspire Early Offer Program.
The Aspire Early Offer program gives secondary school students the opportunity to secure an early conditional offer to La Trobe before finishing Year 12.
We have multiple programs to choose from, so if you’ve given back to your community or achieved good results in Year 11, you could get the reassurance that you have a place in your preferred course before exams finish.
Our Regional Benefits Program empowers high-achieving students to live, study and thrive in regional Victoria.
If a change in career is on the cards for you, La Trobe's Mildura Campus is the perfect place for you to succeed. Our Tertiary Preparation Program can help facilitate your entry to uni or you may be able to use your work and life experience in your course application as a pathway to uni.
Our strong relationship with SuniTAFE creates seamless pathway opportunities for students to use their TAFE qualification as a stepping stone into university. Study a SuniTAFE course in accounting, early education, community services or nursing and use this as credit into a degree at the Mildura Campus.

I'll always recommend the Tertiary Preparation Program. I didn’t finish year 12 – this program let me refresh and get back into the habit of studying and learning. It let me see that I was capable of getting good enough grades, and that I was someone who would be able to finish a degree.
TAFE was the perfect preparation that I needed for uni. The transition was really quite fluent and simple. It got me into a routine and set high expectations of what I had to produce in my assignments. When I began uni, I already felt a lot more comfortable and confident with what I needed to achieve by the time I was there.
