Achieve at La Trobe
Get a taste of uni
Study one subject from La Trobe in Year 12 and we’ll use your mark from that subject, or your ATAR, to lead you to your dream course. It’s 100% free and online.
Your ATAR is one way to get into university – and to measure your achievement. But La Trobe’s research shows there are other ways to predict your success.
That’s why you can now study a single uni subject online in Semester 2, 2020 and use your mark (instead of an ATAR) to get into a selected range of courses.
With Achieve at La Trobe, get a taste of uni life and unlock an offer to an eligible degree based on your uni marks. Depending on the subject you choose, you can also receive credit towards your future degree.
We’ll use your subject mark to calculate a La Trobe entrance score, and if you also receive an ATAR in 2020 we will use whichever result is higher to assess your application.
Achieve at La Trobe is free and online.
