La Trobe College is not a university but a private higher education institution. It operates as a pathway college, offering diploma and foundation programs designed to prepare students for undergraduate studies at La Trobe University, which is a public university in Australia. The college is part of the Navitas Group, a global education provider, and functions independently while maintaining close ties with La Trobe University.
While La Trobe University is publicly funded, the college is privately owned and managed, focusing on bridging courses and academic support for international and domestic students transitioning to university education.
