Clinical placements
Students whose degree entails a practicum or clinical placement may be able to do this overseas. Students can source these placements themselves, through the College or refer to the opportunities available at La Trobe International.
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.
