Overseas short programs

Participate in a short overseas study program during your semester break, studying one or two subjects for academic credit.

These programs are available through La Trobe’s partner universities and approved hosts.

Short Study Programs are available as either an exchange (you pay tuition to La Trobe as per usual) or study abroad (you pay the tuition fee to the partner university/approved host).

Explore the available programs using the Learning Abroad Programs Portal. The information on the portal will include whether the program is an exchange or study abroad program, important dates, and how to apply.

Academic-led study abroad programs are intensive two – four-week group study tours led by La Trobe academic staff.

You will enrol in a La Trobe subject that is either partly or entirely delivered on the study tour.

Explore upcoming programs using the Learning Abroad Programs Portal. We recommended that you also speak to your Course Coordinator about any future programs that your School plans to offer that may not yet be listed on the Programs Portal.

Get overseas work experience with an international placement.

If you have a required placement/s as part of your degree, you may be able to take all or part of a clinical or work-based learning (WBL) placement abroad, facilitated by your LTU School.

If you want to do an international placement or internship, but do not have a program arranged through your course, you may still be able to complete a placement through a La Trobe approved overseas internship provider. Note that these placements have an additional cost payable to the internship provider.

Explore international placement programs, including details on how to apply, using the Learning Abroad Programs Portal.

International placements are only available with organisations that have an existing agreement with La Trobe University.
