Jennie Diep (cover image)
Bachelor of Applied Sciences
(Medical Radiations)

As part of my studies, I had
the opportunity to complete
multiple clinical placements.
Working with real patients gave
me a valuable insight into what it
takes to be a radiation therapist.

RMIT is an internationally recognised university of
technology, design and enterprise.
While RMIT is one of Australia’s original
universities—known for excellence in art and
engineering, design and management, and
architecture and finance—its approach is
anything but old school.
RMIT is all about real-life exploration, and
encouraging students to apply knowledge
and theory in practical settings.

RMIT offers programs at all levels of study,
across a wide range of areas.
At RMIT, you’ll have access to state-of-theart facilities, inspiring teachers and mentors,
and programs designed to set you up for
success.
If you’re ready to see how far you can go,
start thinking about studying at RMIT.

Since graduating, I have secured
a job as an intern at Monash
Health. My goal is to eventually
work in MRI or ultrasound and
gain experience working in
Australia or perhaps overseas.

Industry
connected
Knowledge will only get you so far.
Real success comes to those who can
hit the ground running.
More than ever, employers need graduates who can
get the job done from day one. That’s why many RMIT
programs are co-designed with industry leaders to
ensure you get the practical skills you’ll need to succeed.
And the collaboration doesn’t end there.
Industry mentoring programs give you the opportunity
to learn directly from a professional with a proven track
record of success.
Work-integrated learning allows you to use what you’ve
learned in the classroom in a real-life scenario. It might
be an industry internship or working on a real project
for one of RMIT’s community partners. Whether your
placement happens on site or off campus, your work will
count towards your studies.
With a focus on the real-life application of academic
knowledge, RMIT lets you test-drive your dream job.

Dan Johnson
Advanced Diploma of Business
(Public Relations)

For Dan, being part of a global workintegrated learning project gave him both a
valuable international perspective and the
chance to put into action his management
skills. He says studying PR drew together
his varied interests and skillsets, preparing
him for a range of real world roles.

The best thing about PR is that if you’re
good at it, you can get a job in any
industry in the world because effective
communication is key.

Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) (Honours)

I have been able to complete internships at Polytechnique Montréal in Canada
and with the St Vincent’s Department of Medical Research. Both these
internships have been incredible experiences and allowed me to learn so much
in terms of biomedical engineering, professional practices and postgraduate
research. I’ve also had real industry experience, preparing me for the workforce
and providing me with direction for my career after I graduate.

Explore RMIT’s campuses
Live and learn at one of RMIT’s three vibrant campuses.
RMIT’s three Melbourne campuses are home to a dynamic and thriving student population. From the hustle of Melbourne’s CBD
to the buzz of Brunswick and the tranquillity of Bundoora, each offers a unique and inspiring learning environment.
Cutting-edge facilities, including the Swanston Academic Building and Design Hub, represent RMIT’s commitment to developing
world-class learning, teaching, training and research spaces.

Melbourne City

Brunswick

Bundoora

At the centre of the city

Part of a creative hub

The great outdoors

Situated on Swanston Street, the City
campus has been an iconic part of the
Melbourne CBD for more than 100 years.
The campus is surrounded by cafes,
galleries, theatres, restaurants and parks,
and is easily accessed by public transport.

Brunswick is where multicultural Melbourne
meets its creative soul. The campus is
home to around 3000 students and to
many of RMIT’s design-related programs,
including fashion and textile technologies.

Situated in the northern Melbourne suburb
of Bundoora, this campus is home to many
of RMIT’s education, health and biomedical
science programs. The campus features
state-of-the-art learning and sporting
facilities, and is surrounded by amazing
bushland and parks.

Melbourne Central railway station is
convenient to most campus buildings, while
a number of north-south Yarra trams run up
and down Swanston Street.

New Academic Street
RMIT’s New Academic Street (NAS)
project takes the Melbourne City
campus’s integration with the CBD
to the next level. As part of NAS, four
ageing buildings on Swanston Street
are being transformed into amazing,
mixed-use spaces featuring learning
and social environments including
garden terraces, library, meeting
spaces and a media precinct.

8

Getting to and from the campus is easy.
Jewell railway station, on the Upfield line, is
a short walk away and the number 19 tram
runs from Elizabeth Street in the city to the
campus.

There is plenty of parking on and around
campus, and it is well serviced by tram and
bus services.

Make the most
of uni life
There’s more to uni life
than lectures.
As an RMIT student you’ll find there are so many ways
to make the most of your uni days. Whether it’s joining a
sporting team or social club, starting a band or taking a
ski trip, there really is something for everyone.

Arts and Culture
You don’t have to be an arts student to take
part in RMIT’s writing, dance, design, film,
and visual and performing arts programs.

Clubs and Societies
If you’re after a chance to meet new people and
gain new skills, join one of the 135 student-run
clubs and societies.

Leadership Development
Develop professional and personal skills by
taking advantage of leadership training and
networking opportunities to get an edge in the
job market.

Recreation and Social
Get involved in RMIT’s free weekly food and
music events, take advantage of the ski lodge
at Mt Buller or explore Australia on one of
RMIT’s amazing tours.

Art, Design and
Architecture
Explore your ideas through making.

The impact of art, design and architecture is
felt everywhere – providing innovative solutions
and new perspectives on economic, social
and environmental issues.
RMIT is recognised globally for its
reputation in art, design and architecture
education.
You’ll learn from academics who are
professional practitioners and from
day one you’ll engage actively in the
design process – gaining the skills,
entrepreneurial spirit and knowledge
for a global career.

A career in design gives you the ability
to create your own path – there are no
limits to the ideas you can develop, the
people you can meet and the places you
can go. It’s a myth that creatives don’t
make money – in Victoria design firms
contribute around $7 billion annually to
the state’s economy.
RMIT gives graduates the fundamental
skills and connections to ensure flexible
and diverse global career opportunities,
enabling them to work where, when and
how they choose.

you enjoy doing.
——Know the industry you’re
getting into both locally

like a very hands-on, less
theoretical course which
for journalism is much more
relevant.

Feeling like her previous qualifications were too broad, Natasha enrolled in a
youth work degree so she could study children’s rights and youth empowerment.

I chose to study RMIT’s youth work degree because of the field education
opportunity and the potential to experience life as a student on a different

assisting the National Program Coordinator, which allowed me to get
involved with major projects. It has been a year now and I am still working

Discover a science degree with all the answers.

From biology to chemistry, maths and physics,
every area of science plays an important role in
helping us to understand why and how things work.
And it’s not all Bunsen burners and lab
coats either. Science is about exploration
and discovery – both in the lab and in
the field.

Projects that involve community groups
or companies allow you to put your skills
into action and make an impact before
you graduate.

At RMIT you’ll go beyond the classroom
and apply what you’ve learned to
real-life problems. You’ll gain handson experience working in teams during
field studies and excursions, locally and
internationally.

These include local field trips to Lakes
Entrance, mapping the environment
at Camp Jungai, exploring the aquatic
environment at Lizard Island or even
going overseas to tackle environmental
challenges in China.

Budding researcher Dale is getting experience using state-of-the-art
equipment during his studies at RMIT, in preparation for a career as
a nanomaterial scientist.

The RMIT Virtual Experience Lab is an incredible facility that I’ve used
to incorporate my chemical knowledge with computational modelling.
I was able to produce high resolution images of the compounds I was
investigating for my science project.

Naomi Cutler and Charlize Snyman (pictured)
were in their final year of the Bachelor of
Food Science and Technology when they
were given a brief to design Australia’s new
favourite biscuit.
“We based our Eat Me Coconut Chickpea
Cookie off an Anzac biscuit recipe that we
modified to eliminate allergen-containing
ingredients,” Naomi said.
The hard work paid off when Naomi and
Charlize were announced winners of the
undergraduate student category for the
AIFST Product Development Competition.
They scored a paid trip to the Chicago
LovePulse Showcase, a cash prize of
$5000 each and an internship with the
Retail Food Group.

subjects you need.

Bilingual test: a test used to assess your
language capabilities in both English and a
language other than English (LOTE).

What’s a selection task?
Selection tasks (also known as selection
requirements) are tasks that you are required
to do in addition to your application for some
RMIT programs.
These tasks give you the opportunity to
display additional skills that are relevant
to the program.

Important! Check the RMIT or VTAC

websites for instructions and key dates.
Your application will not be considered if

program staff ask you about yourself and
your interest in the program.

Why isn’t there an
ATAR published for
some programs?
Some programs do not have an ATAR
published. This might be because:

Supplementary form: a document
where you are required to respond
to a series of questions about your
understanding and interest in the program.

–– the program does not select students
based on ATAR, or does not select
on ATAR alone, but considers a range
of criteria, such as a folio, additional
information form or interview results

Find out more about selection tasks at:
www.rmit.edu.au/study-with-us/applyingto-rmit/local-student-applications/
how-to-apply/application-methods/directapplication/supporting-documentation/
selection-tasks .

–– the program is new, so there is no clearlyin ATAR from the previous year

Why do some entry
requirements refer
to study scores?
Some programs at RMIT require you to have
achieved a minimum study score in a subject
to be eligible for selection.
Study scores in this guide may change.
It’s important to check VTAC for specific
prerequisites and study scores.

–– fewer than 10 current Year 12 offers were
made the previous year
–– applications for the program are not
through VTAC.

What does school-based
application mean?

accept application directly to the RMIT
school teaching the program. Check the
program information at www.rmit.edu.au/
programs for information on how to apply
or contact Info Corner on tel. 9925 2260.

Does the published ATAR
guarantee entry?
The clearly-in ATAR published in RMIT
guides and websites are from the previous
year and should be used as a guideline only.
It indicates the lowest ATAR needed to be
guaranteed a place in that program.

Folio presentation: a face-to-face
session where you are asked about the work
in your folio and your creative inspiration.

Filmon Teclai
Bachelor of Business (Information Systems)
RMIT Equity Travel Grant

Thanks to an RMIT equity travel grant, Filmon was able to take part in a study
tour to France.

I used the grant to fund the cost of my tickets and accommodation. Having
the grant allowed me to focus on my studies and make the most of the
experience without having to stress about funding the trip.
My most memorable moments were studying in Brest, a small but nice city. I
enjoyed meeting the students from Brest Business School and touring around
the city. I also enjoyed roaming around Paris and taking selfies next to the
Eiffel Tower.

Fees
Tuition fees for
Associate, Bachelor
and Honours Degrees
Commonwealth Supported
Places (CSP)
A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is
a place at university where the tuition fee is
jointly paid by you and the Commonwealth
Government. Your share of the fee (student
contribution) is set by the government and
determined by the discipline areas (bands)
of your individual enrolled courses (subjects),
not the overall program. The table below
indicates what your annual fee would be for
a full-time study load in 2017 if enrolled in
courses from a single band.
A proportionate fee applies for more or less
than the full-time study load or for enrolment
in courses from a combination of bands.

program in the current year.
Most programs at RMIT have a standard

you can estimate your expected tuition fee
for the year by multiplying the fee-per-creditpoint by 96.
