La Trobe University believes everyone should get to study at a top-ranking university, regardless of postcode.
That’s why you’ll find world-class facilities, inspirational educators and opportunities to make a real impact right here in Shepparton.
As Victoria’s only state-wide university with campuses in Melbourne, Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura and Albury-Wodonga, La Trobe is changing the narrative of what it means to study regionally.
Preparing students for the real world of work lies at the heart of La Trobe’s approach to teaching, with work-integrated learning, work-based learning and placements built into many courses.
As a result, La Trobe graduates are rated first in Victoria and third across all Australian universities for overall employer satisfaction, according to the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) 2023 and 2022 Employer Satisfaction Survey.
La Trobe’s committed to investing in local communities, including yours. The university currently has a $19 million redevelopment of the Shepparton campus under way to improve the study experience for local students. This includes high-tech clinical teaching spaces, modern study areas and a flexible space for community events.
Shepparton is also home for part of the La Trobe University Rural Health School — the largest rural health school in Australia — providing students nursing placements across the Goulburn Valley.
The university partners with local organisations and community groups, aiming to enhance the learning experience of students, fostering research opportunities for local organisations and building professional skills in the region.
