For example, all health sciences students complete clinical placements with appropriate health providers, education students complete teaching practicums at a variety of schools, law students have the opportunity to work at community legal centres, and civil engineering students can apply for a series of scholarships which include paid work experience.

How we support you

Starting university is an exciting and challenging experience, and students often need help with various aspects of uni life. La Trobe provides a wide range of services to ensure our students have the best possible support. These include:

• academicskillsassistance • accommodationservices • careerplanning • counselling • disabilitysupport • employmentassistance • financialaid • Indigenousstudentsupport • legaladvice

While the type of support staff available at each campus may vary, there’s always someone who can help you find the support you need. This may involve referring you to a partner organisation or arranging for staff from another campus to contact you.

The trick is to ask for help early, before a small issue becomes a really difficult one.

You can find more information on La Trobe’s student support services in our 2010 Undergraduate Course Guide, and at:

www.latrobe.edu.au/students

Rural and regional students get a bonusThe Rural and Regional Student Access Scheme (RRSAS) encourages students who’ve completed their VCE or HSC at a rural or regional school to take up tertiary studies at one of our regional campuses. The Scheme supports the growth of knowledge, skills and talent in regional areas.

Students from eligible schools who apply to undergraduate courses at any of La Trobe’s regional campuses through VTAC or UAC are considered automatically; there are no extra application forms to complete. The Scheme provides three bonus ENTER/UAI (or ATAR in 2010) points for applicants within the middle band.

To check your eligibility, look up your school at:

www.latrobe.edu.au/vtacinfo

Please note:

The RRSAS doesn’t apply to applicants to the Bachelor of pharmacy at La Trobe Bendigo. Applicants to this course are covered by a course-specific bonus scheme.

Also, the RRSAS is different to the Special Entry Access Scheme Category (SEAS) 6: Rural or Isolated Applicants.

This SEAS category is for students who’ve suffered educational disadvantage as a result of undertaking secondary schooling in a rural or isolated area and/or the need to move from such an area to undertake the university course of their choice. SEAS ensures all students affected by these disadvantages are given due consideration when applying to La Trobe University.

For more information on SEAS visit: www.latrobe.edu.au/vtacinfo

Scholarships

La Trobe offers generous scholarships for commencing undergraduate students, with many university-wide and faculty scholarships, and specific scholarships for regional and Indigenous students. For more information visit:

www.latrobe.edu.au/scholarships

Help with academic skills

Have you ever wondered how to cite references in academic essays? Are you nervous about what’s expected of you in a tutorial or worried about writing skills? Is English your second language?

The Language and Academic Skills Unit has staff at every campus to help you polish your study skills and achieve your study goals. You don’t even need to be enrolled to get a head start; you can find a fantastic collection of study resources on the Student Learning webpage at:

www.latrobe.edu.au/learning

Once you’re enrolled you can make regular appointments with staff or sign up for workshops.

Indigenous support

La Trobe University acknowledges Aboriginal people’s ongoing connection to the land upon which its campuses are located, and values the contributions Indigenous Australians make to its activities. It is committed to expanding educational opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

If you have any questions about applying to or studying at La Trobe as an Indigenous student, contact the Indigenous Recruitment Officer:

T 03 5444 7205 E indigenous_enquiries@latrobe.edu.au

Studying overseas

La Trobe has relationships with more than 100 universities around the world, making it easy to incorporate overseas travel into your studies – especially when every La Trobe student eligible to study overseas receives financial support for their exchange experience.

www.latrobe.edu.au/international/exchange

HOW WE SUppORT YOU

Library resources: Leigh Reither Bachelor of Arts

Shepparton campus

Shepparton’s library doesn’t have the same number of books as Bundoora, but we can do inter-campus loans – the same books are available to all La Trobe students. There’s also the library’s website, which lets you access journal articles and subject materials that lecturers leave for you.

Professional placements: Stephanie SuterBachelor of Science in Environmental Management and Ecology

Albury-Wodonga campus

I’ve just finished Honours, and have had many practical learning experiences. My cadetship at the end of second year was definitely a highlight. I worked for 12 weeks at the Murray-darling Freshwater Research Centre, assisting with a project on zooplankton, which was great research experience.

I got to write a scientific report which my supervisor said was really good, so he organised for me to present it at a conference in New Zealand – which was a real bonus. I also got part-time work at the research centre, which I am still doing!

Student Exchange: Justine RossBachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Arts,

Melbourne (Bundoora) campus

– Justine spent a semester at the Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, Argentina, under La Trobe’s Student Exchange program.

I had uni three times a week, which allowed me to travel for long weekends to different parts of the country, or to nearby countries such as Uruguay and Chile.

The standard of work at my host university was high, and the quality of teaching similarly so. Studying in Spanish and living in Buenos Aires was invaluable to my Spanish speaking and writing skills. I also gained a heap of incredibly crazy and mind-blowingly amazing friends!

ESL support: Guler Ors Bachelor of Arts

Shepparton campus

My main issue is putting sources together in a proper format. I believe I am capable of giving the right answers verbally, but I have found putting answers on paper difficult.

I have found the ESL program to be very helpful; through correspondence via the internet, the ESL staff steered me in the right direction with my essays. I usually get high marks thanks to the ESL program.

Academic skills support: Katie BryceBachelor of Visual Arts

Bendigo campus

When I started my degree I wasn’t a big academic writing person. The Academic Skills Unit helps you work out what you’re supposed to do with grammar, strength of argument, structure; and you can see them each step of the way. If you get stuck they guide you to find the answer for yourself.

Kathryn GrayBachelor of Education

Mildura campus

Mildura is a lovely area with everything you could possibly need, and students here benefit from plenty of one-on-one time with lecturers, who are very helpful and supportive. And the library has a vast selection of resources, all easily accessible.

Everyone in my course and the community is so nice, which has helped make my transition smooth (I moved here from interstate). I want to become a primary school teacher, and my course is quite hands-on – I love the large variety of schools you can go to for practicum places, and they’re all so welcoming.

Melissa BeatonBachelor of Arts

Shepparton campus

My course is a generalist course, which means it can take you in so many directions – people don’t necessarily realise the endless possibilities it gives you.

One of the things I love about studying at the Shepparton campus is that the classes are small – it makes a lot of difference to have a lot of hands-on contact with lecturers. It’s close to home, too, and I can keep my job. I can also give back to the community, doing projects in the community for the university.

Joel ValenteBachelor of Psychological Science

Albury-Wodonga campus

Everything you need is here. The river and the pools are great in summer, there are heaps of pubs and clubs, and other things like snowboarding, water skiing and hiking all within a couple of hours’ drive.

And with the Wodonga Students’ Association, leadership is an option at your fingertips, whether in team-oriented tasks or representing peers in a student council.

Phillip RasoBachelor of Arts (Outdoor Education)

Bendigo campus

Bendigo is big enough to have everything you need, yet still has a great community feel. And La Trobe has a personal and intimate feel; you can easily become familiar with the campus, its facilities, the students, staff and admin.

I find it hard to nominate one highlight about my course – the whole School of Outdoor Education and Environment is a highlight! I’m already working, doing what I hoped I’d do when I graduate, because employers have been knocking on La Trobe’s doors asking for Outdoor Ed students.

Scott MacDonaldBachelor of Biological Sciences

Bendigo campus

La Trobe Uni is a great place to study because it has lots of friendly, easy-going people with great teachers, and one of the best things about la Trobe is the people from all different backgrounds you get to meet and become friends with.

The best thing about my course is the hands-on experience in the lab classes.

Waiting on image

Laura SchulzBachelor of Nursing

Albury-Wodonga campus

Our curriculum offers such a broad range of subjects so we are exposed to so many opportunities before we are qualified, allowing us to open even more doors to possible career paths. I love it!

I plan to specialise as a midwife or pediatric nurse and take my qualifications to Third World countries, looking after women and children.

Caitlin HigginsBachelor of Arts

Melbourne (Bundoora) campus

I transferred to La Trobe from Curtin University in WA after three years out of study. It’s exciting to be back on a campus and to be stretched intellectually.

I’ve found the lecturers to be enthusiastic and engaging and I look forward to exploring and discovering everything La Trobe has to offer.

Jay SmithBachelor of Accounting

Mildura campus

The Mildura campus is unique. There are smaller class sizes and greater class interaction, and I have never felt like a number. Just because you study at a rural university doesn’t mean you are at a disadvantage; in fact I see it as being a huge advantage. It’s a closeknit community, the people are friendly, and I get to stay close to my family.

The Bachelor of Accounting gives you the knowledge and skills to become a leader, allows you to undertake part of your studies overseas, and equips you to work in any industry.

Abby LangBachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Arts

Bendigo campus

La Trobe Bendigo has everything I need to help me with my studies. The library’s open from early in the morning to late at night seven days a week; computer labs are open early as well. If I need to use the internet I can just come up to uni and do all my emails and everything. All the social support services I need are here as well.

And one thing I’ll remember about Bendigo when I leave is all the friends I’ve made here – such a close-knit community means they’re friends for life.

Chris MingeBachelor of Business

Shepparton campus

I find what we’re learning in this course really useful – we cover such a wide range of subjects. The teachers are really good, too; they’re very experienced and extremely helpful.

I chose to study at the Shepparton campus mainly because I’m still living at home, and it means I can save some money. But I also enjoy the small classes and the opportunities to get to know people well.
