The cost of studying at La Trobe University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen.

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay AUD$40000 annually, to study in La Trobe University.

Graduates are qualified to work in community health services, hospitals, research bodies, and public health and health promotion agencies. You are also likely to find work for government and non-government organisations such as Red Cross, World Vision and other not.for.profit organisations.
