What our postgraduate students have to say

“La Trobe is preparing me for my future career through teaching me the people skills that are often neglected, especially interpersonal communication and building meaningful relationships with other people.
“The true value of La Trobe extends beyond academic success, which is why so many employers see the value in La Trobe graduates.”

“I learned to step outside my comfort zone and take on areas that challenge me, increasing my confidence and communication skills — essential for my future workplace.
“I recommend La Trobe to others as it improves skills, professional knowledge and networks, and career opportunities.”

“At La Trobe’s clinic, I can apply my knowledge in a way I wouldn’t be able to in the classroom.
“It’s a better way of learning, and observing the clinical supervisors is highly motivating. It helps me understand where I need to improve and sets the bar of excellence quite high.”
