For over 50 years, La Trobe University has laid the foundation for successful careers. As Victoria’s only state-wide university, La Trobe is deeply committed to its regional campuses. La Trobe’s Bendigo campus is our largest regional campus, with more than 4000 students and 400 staff. Our courses include allied health and nursing, science and engineering, education, arts, business, IT and many more.

Located in Flora Hill, the Bendigo campus became an integral part of La Trobe in 1991, however the university and its antecedent organisations have been providing tertiary education in Bendigo for nearly 150 years. Our premier lecture theatres, exercise laboratory, technology-packed classrooms and sports field are used by many community organisations, making the campus an integral part of the city.

We’ve built a strong emphasis on excellence in all areas of the student experience, placing us firmly within the top one per cent of universities worldwide*. We’ve also cultivated a reputation for our world-class research, with 23 of our research fields rated well above world standard**. These results reflect our commitment to outstanding student experience, the career-readiness of our graduates, our ambitious research culture and our partnerships with local communities, government, and industry.
