If you want to complete a research programme at La Trobe University you first need to contact an academic supervisor and gain provisional approval for your project. 

When contacting supervisors we recommend that you communicate your research intent in a concise but well thought through manner – academic staff will receive a lot of similar requests and are only likely to respond positively to the ones that demonstrate commitment and ability. It is also a good idea to attach a CV (no longer than two pages) and a copy of your academic transcripts.

For details of the research programmes available at La Trobe, please see here.

Once you have contacted an academic who is willing to supervise your research, you should contact Study Options, who will send you the relevant application forms and list of required documentation. We are the official representative of La Trobe University in the UK and therefore if you submit your application through us it will be fast tracked through the assessment process. We are a completely free service.

Once Study Options has submitted your application it will usually take between 8 and 12 weeks for the assessment to be completed. If your application is successful, Study Options will assist you with the acceptance and visa process. We can also provide advice and guidance on accommodation, bank accounts and more!
