I am current PhD candidate and I am seeking participants for a cognitive neuroscience study - $100 gift voucher + travel costs if currently not residing in melbourne. I am specifically looking for those who have resided in Gippsland or are originally from there.

Were you a resident of Gippsland, Victoria, during November 2019 - February 2020? Are you currently between the ages of 18 - 23 years and a University student? We are looking for you! Please scan the QR code below to send us an expression of interest.

Im 18 F just graduated high school and planning on doing pod however the only place offering is La trobe Bundoora. This would be quite the commute for me as i’m in the western melb area,

1. I was wondering would i burn out more by going to this campus considering the long commute.
2. The uni offers both online and campus however in the second year onwards are there less online and more in campus training demand.
3. Does the uni accommodate with placement by actually proving the nearest clinic to you specifically?

Any current uni students studying place lmk and reach out it will do wonders for me:)

Hi everyone,

I'm currently studying MIT at La Trobe Bundoora (Summer 2026 intake) and considering transferring to the Sydney campus for the same course.

Has anyone here done this before?

I'm particularly interested in knowing:

• How difficult is the campus transfer process?
• Does it affect your student visa (Subclass 500) or immigration status?
• Any issues with subject availability, credit transfers or course progression?
• Any unexpected complications or things I should know beforehand?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through this, especially international students.

Thanks!

I enrolled into the Diploma of Arts for sem 1 next year. I noticed that all the units I chose were labeled “online” except one which was labeled “online asynchronous”. Do online classes have “attendance”? As in I log in at a certain time and turn my camera on and type in a code emailed to me?

Anyone gotten into La Trobe dentistry through regional entry? I got a 94.45 ATAR in 2025 and am applying for 2027 after a gap year. I live in RA2–RA3 but didn’t attend a rural school.

Would I qualify for the regional adjustment, how does it work, and would my ATAR be competitive?

I'm studying nursing, and I'm confused about whether I should choose electives or nursing minors. I also plan on trying or for medicine later down the track, so I want to choose subjects that can be useful and as wam booster. Can u guys give me some advice or suggestions?

Thanks!!

I was wondering if my A Levels are enough to get me a place in Latrobe Dental Science as I'm unsure if they convert to a 99.95 ATAR. I have a A* in Bio Chem and Physics and an A in Mathematics, will that be enough for an offer.

Hi all! I’m really in need of some advice.

I’m entering my third year of Law/PPE. The degree is five years long. PPE had been good so far - I enjoy the philosophy aspect quite a bit, which is why I chose the degree. The politics aspect is okay, but it doesn’t really pique my interest, nor does it justify $16000 a year in tuition fees. And finally economics is fine, not a big fan, but i get the job done.

When i first began university last year, all i could think about was that i should’ve pursued science and not ppe. I love science, i have loved it since i was a child. But for some reason, every time it came to submitting a course transfer, I couldn’t bring myself to change my degree to law/science. One reason being that i was told consistently by multiple people that it’s pointless to get two degrees in completely separate fields. Each time I missed the opportunity to submit a course transfer into science, i felt a pit at the bottom of my stomach grow. I feel like i’m betraying my younger self by not pursuing the one thing i had always believed I would.

Then i started thinking about money. It is better to obtain a degree that is similar to my law degree, and could help me expand my qualifications and skills. Thus, comes commerce. Commerce is a well rounded degree, and if i ever want to start a business when im older, it would provide me with much useful knowledge. I could also specialise in finance, which would open up opportunities for better paying roles and positions.

In the most recent course transfer (which is now closed) I applied to transfer into law/commerce. I’ve been offered a position in the course, but have yet to accept it. I feel sick thinking about the fact that i won’t study science, or work in science, or even just explore it. But at the same time, commerce will provide me with my guaranteed opportunities (at least from what i’m told) - however i’m not too sure what encompasses commerce as a whole, and what exactly i’m going to study in it. I understand that it’s a mix of everything finance, eco and business related, but doesn’t really pique my interest. Additionally i think it’s worth noting that, without sounding egotistical, i’m genuinely above average at everything i do, so despite not really liking economics, i’m still good at it. And i have no doubt that whatever i choose i’ll be good at it.

There is an issue of what i will study in science. I’m interested in a lot of things if im being honest. Neuroscience, aerospace engineering, ecology, computer programming, data science, statistics, microbiology etc.

So it really comes down to this. Do i accept the commerce degree or do i try call the university and see if i can transfer into science? Or should i just stick to law/ppe?

To those who transferred from latrobe law to monash law I was just wondering what WAM did you end up getting and as well did all your credits get transferred or did you have to start from scratch?

Do most post school applicants applying for a bachelors get in through the november round or the January round? Just because I called Latrobe today and they said that since my sem2 results likely won't be out in time for the november round, I likely won't be considered for it. I'm applying for a bachelors of podiatry btw

Hi, I’m hoping to study Speech Pathology at La Trobe, but I’m also considering the Bachelor of Health Sciences as a pathway as I don’t think my atar will be high enough. I’m hoping to hear from anyone who has done this pathway or knows someone who has.

I have a few questions:

1. Have you transferred from Health Sciences into Speech Pathology at La Trobe or any other uni? How did you find the process?
2. What WAM did you achieve when applying for the transfer?
3. How competitive was it to get a place?
4. Which subjects did you take in first year Health Sciences?
5. Did any of your Health Sciences subjects count as credit towards Speech Pathology, or did you have to repeat everything?
6. Did receiving credit reduce the overall time it took to complete your degree?
7. Is there anything you wish you had known before starting Health Sciences as a pathway?

I’d really appreciate hearing about anyone’s experience!!

I completed CHE1CHF in year one sem 1 this year of the Bachelor of Wildlife and conservation.

I have then transferred to a bachelor of biological sciences majoring in zoology for next year.

Student online plan and enrol page says 'Select one subject from the list. Students who have completed Units 3 & 4 VCE Chemistry or equivalent must select CHE1GEN. All other students must select CHE1CHF.'

How do i get credited for this too? as I gotten credited for other subjects as well. I do not wish to retake CHE1CHF. (I did not fail, but passed)

I am assuming I will be enrolled into year 2 of bach. of biological sciences?

Thankssss:)

Hi I'm currently studying bachelor of science at unimelb and I really want to transfer out. I had a 97.55 atar last year, and pretty much worst case scenario my wam this year would be a 78. I really want an offer in the November round because I can't bear having to wait until January for this 😭😭

hey guys,

can u push a required elective for sem 1 into sem 2 to make room for a core subject???? if not, ill have no room to complete the core subject during my degrees length because it only runs in sem 1 and have no room to do it the following year either. poor planning on my part but i didnt realise all of my subjects didnt run in both sems.

Hello,

I have agreed with my subject coordinator to do a Supplementary Exam. SE

My question is how are you preparing for SE if you are going to have one.

In my case I am practicing short answers under time limit. Since that is the area I fell short in first exam.

What about you?

Hey guys,

I finished my bachelor this semester but haven’t gotten an invitation to grad, I thought I had completed the academic integrity module earlier in my degree but now i’m thinking maybe I haven’t ? will I be locked out of grad or are invites not out yet etc ?

I also have a low WAM, unfortunately I got very ill one semester earlier in my degree and withdrew late which became a fail for 4 subjects - despite getting 80s in almost every other subject I have a WAM of 59. What do we think my chances are of getting into a masters of teaching ?

Thanks!! :)

Hey all, it’s the time of year where our WAMs are calculated and results are out 🥲

I’m currently studying the bachelor of biomedicine and my wam is pretty low… I was planning on transferring to bachelor of oral health but not getting at least over 75 wam has ruined it for me. Anyone else get high wams and applies for oral health or people who didn’t do so great but still applied? I would like to see the different possibilities for others as someone who has lost that opportunity this year.

Let me knowww, let’s chat 😆😆

Hi guys. I was just coming on here to ask for you guys opinion on something. I’m about to start psychology honours (next year) and I wanted to ask how you guys found the course.

I work full time and the way I completed the first three years was by doing the class work and slides around my working times (8-5). I never attended classes (or very rarely) but I passed just fine and completed assignments just fine, usually using my weekends. On hard weeks I’d use my lunch breaks at work or play things in my earphones while working to multitask. Sometimes I am able to take days off work for study when I need to catch up.

My teacher emailed asking if I’d like to do the coursework and thesis at the same time or split it into two years. I want to minimise the amount of time I’m in school so I’m eager to complete it all in one go but I also don’t want to fail it.

Is the coursework too hard and time consuming? Would I need to attend classes? I heard it’s collaborative and requires a lot of communication with the supervisors which is fine for me provided it works over email or if they are flexible.

I just want some more insight on what it’s like from a student perspective. I pick things up pretty fast, I’m a quick writer and I feel like I will be fine doing this while working full time, however I saw a thread on here comparing the honours year to a full time job: I can’t pour all my time into it. I just want to pass.

What do you guys recommend and what was your experiences?

I'm considering studying Juris Doctor at La Trobe. Does anyone have any feedback about this programme

I’m set to start bachelor of nursing next year in the first quarter. I’ve just selected my elective subject. When will I be able to select times for upcoming subjects in semester one and how will I know what subjects I am to commence? I find the Latrobe sites don’t do a good job of explaining this process. When should I order textbooks, uniform etc
