Program types
Short term partner programs
Short term partner programs are available through La Trobe’s partner universities and approved hosts. These programs are available as either an exchange or study abroad program.
- Exchange: You pay tuition to La Trobe as per usual
- Study Abroad: You pay tuition directly to the partner university or approved host
Academic-led study tour
Academic-led study tour programs are intensive two to four-week group study tours led by La Trobe academic staff. You'll enrol in a La Trobe subject that is either partly or entirely delivered on the study tour.
Explore upcoming programs on the Programs Portal. Speak to your course coordinator about any future programs that your School plans to offer that may not yet be listed on the Programs Portal.
