Postgraduate Study Plan Guides

Study Plan Guides are currently available for the majority of La Trobe postgraduate courses with a start date of 2024 onwards (noting some courses have PDF Study Plan Guides provided above).

If you started your course in an earlier year or your course does not appear, please consult the Handbook for information on your course structure.

There are several reasons why the Study Plan Guides tool may refer you to the Handbook, such as:

• No subject Instances for this subject at your campus (note, some courses may require certain subjects to be completed at a campus other than your home campus)
• The subject is not available until a future year (e.g. 2026)
• The subject availability is still to be confirmed (contact ASK La Trobe)

Boxes in the Study Plan Guides are sized to reflect the credit points of the subject (or the largest subject in the choice list).

Subjects are listed in the order they appear in the Handbook. Some subjects have multiple instances or may not be available in the current year.

Please consider pre-requisites and study load when planning your enrolment in StudentOnLine.

We recommend that you continue to access your Study Plan Guide via the Study Plan Guides tool to ensure that you are following the most up-to-date information when managing your enrolment via StudentOnLine.

These statuses match the Handbook and relate to intakes for the degree:

• ‘Active’ courses are open for new student applications or exit only awards
• ‘Phasing Out’ courses no longer take new students but remain available for currently admitted students to complete their degree
• ‘Suspended’ courses are paused from admitting new students but remain available for currently admitted students to complete their degree.

When looking at your study plan guide you should select the year of admission and your course code from the drop-down lists.

Majors or specialisations may be suspended or phasing out for some courses, which means the Study Plan Guide may not display. Alternatively, you should refer to the Handbook for more information relevant to your particular course.
