Work with your own personal Student Advisor, who’ll be on hand to support you from enrolment through to graduation. Your advisor will get in touch with you when you first enrol and connect you with all the services and support you need to begin your diploma with confidence. You’ll be able to reach out to your Student Advisor for ongoing support and advice while you study.
Get advice from a Peer Mentor – a more experienced student from your area of study. Working with a peer mentor is a great way to learn more about the different programs and processes you’ll encounter at La Trobe and get tips on balancing study with your other work and life commitments. It’s also a way to make new friendships and build your community at La Trobe.
You’ll have access to La Trobe’s full range of academic and learning support through our Learning Hub. Connect with Peer Learning Advisors and specialist academic skills and English Advisors or explore our Studiosity online writing feedback and study support portal, Maths, Science and Coding Hubs, One Step Ahead academic preparation program and How2Uni workshops. The Learning Hub is available both online and on campus.
Our careers services, including our premier employability program Career Ready Advantage, help you develop the skills and experience employers value most.
