Overseas short programs

Looking for a way to gain international exposure without committing to an entire semester abroad?

La Trobe University offers an array of exciting short programs that allow you to earn credits while experiencing different cultures.

These short programs are typically undertaken during your winter or summer break, ensuring they won't extend the duration of your degree. Broaden your horizons and make the most of your semester breaks by embracing the global experiences La Trobe University offers through its diverse range of short programs.

Please note that Open University Australia students cannot take part in La Trobe University programs.
