Overseas short programs
Short programs are not only a great way to spend your break from university, but also gain an overseas experience without disrupting your course structure. Depending on the kind of program, you can get credit toward your degree by participating in a short program.
You have the option to participate in various short programs:
- Short term academic programs
- Clinical placements
- Internships or other Placements
- Volunteering opportunities.
Costs will vary from program to program. If you are getting credit towards your studies, you are eligible to receive a mobility grant from La Trobe Abroad. Please see the Grants, scholarships and costs section for further information regarding funding available for short programs. Please note, the grant policy states that students will only receive one form of funding: mobility grants or Australian Government grants.
Check out the IRU Scholars in Asia information on the website.
PG Research Students: Please add to your Overseas Short Program (OSP) Application a one page statement explaining how the overseas program will impact your research, and list any other funding you are receiving. A letter of support from your Supervisor must also be included and they should sign your OSP form as well. Finally, some form of evidence from the Graduate Research School (GRS) must be received by La Trobe Abroad indicating you have completed their travel process. Applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis for $500 mobility grants and will depend on available funding.
Internships
Short term programs
Partner program
These are winter and summer short programs held at a La Trobe University exchange partner university. Students are required to make an application directly to La Trobe Abroad, who will nominate you to the University. To participate on these programs students require a minimum weighted average of 65%. An academic transcript is to be submitted with the short program application.
College-led short program
La Trobe Colleges and Schools facilitate a number of short term programs and study tours each year. These programs are led by a La Trobe academic or arranged by the College in coordination with an affiliated international institution. As these may change each year please contact your College or/and school office for more information.
Third-Party short programs
Short term study programs coordinated through approved third-party providers. La Trobe University has developed strong relationships with AIM Overseas, ISEP, CIS Australia, EcoLife, Projects Abroad and Work The World who facilitate various international academic and internship programs each year. Students participating in these programs are eligible to receive a mobility grant. Students are required to submit an online Overseas Short Programs application, with College approval, to La Trobe Abroad before confirming registration or paying fees to the external organisation.
Independent Programs:
Students wishing to apply for an Overseas Short Program outside of La Trobe University’s Exchange Partners and Approved Providers will need to submit a Non-Partner Vetting Checklist in their SOMSAS application and OSP Supporting Documents.
The Non-Partner Vetting Checklist can be found in the Forms section of the how to apply webpage and will address aspects of the program including content, accommodation, safety and public liability insurance.
If the requirements of the Non-Partner Vetting Checklist are not met, the program may not be approved.

Students from the College of Science, Health and Engineering should make contact with the exchange coordinator within the College.
All applications must be accompanied by written permission from the student's college including evidence that the placement will contribute towards the student's La Trobe course.
Below are some partner universities providing clinical placement opportunities for La Trobe students. Opportunities for students from other courses can be discussed with your course clinical placement officer.

Volunteering opportunities
La Trobe students have the opportunity to make a difference and contribute to the global society by participating in a Volunteering Program.
As volunteers, students can work towards making a positive contribution towards society, but can also grow as individuals themselves. Volunteering is also a great way of learning more about the functioning and sustainability of a non-profit organisation.
Please note, VESA and Reach Out Volunteers are not approved by La Trobe University and will not be considered for credit or mobility grants.
