What courses are available?

La Trobe offers over 250 undergraduate courses in a wide variety of areas across five Faculties and seven campuses. CourseFinder is the easiest way to find out if a particular course is available, and at which campus. Not all courses are available at all campuses, although we do offer opportunities to move between campuses. CourseFinder allows you to search by subject area and related careers, so even if you're not sure of the exact course you'd like to do, you can search by identifying the career/s you'd like to follow.

For more detailed information about a specific course, see the University Handbook. This contains details about exact course structures, elective and optional subjects, and assessment tasks.
