Campus locations

La Trobe University delivers courses to international students at three campuses across Victoria—in Melbourne (Bundoora), Bendigo and Albury-Wodonga. All campuses are diverse, strong communities with excellent accommodation choices.

Melbourne (Bundoora): This is La Trobe University’s largest campus and one of the most attractive university campuses in Australia. The campus covers 330 hectares (approximately 500 acres) of stunning parkland with waterways and a wildlife sanctuary. Travel to central Melbourne takes about 20-30 minutes by bus or car and 50 minutes by tram.

Bendigo: This is the university’s second largest campus. It is located on 33 hectares of attractive bushland, 150km (93 miles) from Melbourne, and lies close to the Bendigo city centre. The small campus makes it easy for students to find their way around, to get to know people and feel part of the university community.

Albury-Wodonga: This is a major regional campus, located 350km (218 miles) north-east of Melbourne. Studying at a campus of a smaller size offers international students more personalised attention and a safe, supportive environment to develop English language proficiency and academic study.

Student support services and facilities

La Trobe University provides many services to support international students. We understand the difficulties students might face in adjusting to a new culture and landscape, making new friends and studying successfully—all at the same time. Our staff ensure that you don’t have to cope with this on your own. Services include:

• assistance with visa, health insurance and temporary accommodation

• a free airport or railway reception service

• arrival and pre-departure information

• a Welcome Festival orientation program
