Campus Locations

La Trobe University currently offers courses to international students at four campuses:

Melbourne (Bundoora): The main campus at Bundoora is within easy reach of central Melbourne and is well-serviced by public transport. Covering 330 hectares of native parkland, the campus is one of the largest and most attractive in Australia.

Bendigo: Only 90 minutes from Melbourne, the city of Bendigo offers international students the best of both capital and regional city living. Bendigo campus is situated on 33 hectares of attractive bushland and offers students a relaxed learning environment.

Albury-Wodonga: Albury-Wodonga is situated 300 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. The smaller size of the Albury-Wodonga campus offers international students more personalised attention and a safe, supportive environment for study.
