Welcome La Trobe University Students
CISaustralia is proud to support La Trobe University and their students. CISaustralia and La Trobe University signed a formal partnership agreement in 2014 and ever since have worked closely to send qualified La Trobe students abroad, on many different programs to many different locations. This partnership enables students greater access to our overseas programs and ensures they have the best possible experience abroad! We are very proud of our close and long-standing partnership with the University. We take great pleasure in providing high-quality customer service and in supporting both students and academic staff to develop long-term sustainable programs abroad, which are most importantly for academic credit.

Pre-Approved Programs for La Trobe University Students
The following programs have been pre-approved for academic credit by La Trobe University. To check your eligibility for academic credit, please contact the La Trobe Abroad office, your Faculty Advisor or Course Convenor. CISaustralia strongly recommends that you have any overseas courses pre-approved for academic credit before you depart for your program. Documentation that may be useful are the course name, course code, course description and syllabus (all available from the CISaustralia website). Contact a CISaustralia Advisor if any questions.
If you find another CISaustralia program you are interested in that is not currently on the pre-approved programs list below, please contact CISaustralia. We will help direct you to the most appropriate person at your University for further advice on getting your January Study, July Study, Language Study, Internship Abroad, Virtual Internship or Volunteer program pre-approved for academic credit.
Please note:

Academic credit may or may not be awarded by La Trobe pending the student’s course progression within the Japanese degree program at La Trobe, courses available at La Trobe, sequencing of courses within the degree and possible other variables.
