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.

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.

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

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.

I’ve always loved drawing and
story telling. I definitely knew
I wanted to study in a creative
field, whether it be design or
fine art. What appealed to
me with the Animation and
Interactive Media degree was
that it was really versatile.
While learning the technical
skills and software for the
creative corporate world we
also had core classes in things
like design, life drawing and
sound mixing. It was the right
mix of technical knowledge
and creative freedom.

Science
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.

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

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.

supported place, please visit the RMIT
International fees site.
You will pay fees based upon the number
of credit points you are enrolled in for your
program and the fee-per-credit-point for that
program in the current year.
Most programs at RMIT have a standard
annual full-time load of 96 credit points, so
you can estimate your expected tuition fee
for the year by multiplying the fee-per-creditpoint by 96.

Tuition fees for
Certificates, Diplomas
and Advanced Diplomas
The tuition fees you pay depend on whether
you are offered a Victorian Government
subsidised place or a full-fee place, based
on the eligibility criteria.

Victorian Government
subsidised places
You will be offered a government-subsidised
place if you meet the eligibility criteria based
on your citizenship, age, prior education, the
number of programs you are studying in the
current year and the number of governmentsubsidised programs you have commenced
in your lifetime at each level.

Full-fee places
If you do not meet the criteria for a
government subsidised place, you will be
offered a full-fee place. For a full list of fullfee program fees visit www.rmit.edu.au/
programs/fees/vocational/fullfee .

via one of the Australian Government’s loan
