La Trobe University is an Australian multi-campus public research university whose flagship campus, the largest metropolitan campus in the country,[Note 9] is located in Melbourne, Victoria. The university was established in 1964 following the assent of the La Trobe University Act
by Victorian Parliament on 9 December of that year, becoming the third
university in the state and the twelfth university in Australia.[10] While it does not share the architectural aesthetics of its sandstone peers, at its core La Trobe, as much as Monash, was 'among the last of the old universities in Australia.'[Note 10] Of the many aspirations set upon La Trobe by its distinguished founders,
one of its most prominent achievements, and a great source of
university pride, has been its long-standing commitment to providing
access to higher education to those traditionally excluded from the
sector. In 2015 it was ranked in the top 100 universities under 50 in
the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.[12] Additionally, the 2015-2016 THE performance indicators placed La Trobe as =12th in Australia for teaching, 11th for research, and 13th for industry income.[13]
