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-the-
art facilities, inspiring teachers and mentors,

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.
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.

Dan Johnson
Advanced Diploma of Business
(Public Relations)
For Dan, being part of a global work-
integrated 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
Melbourne City Brunswick Bundoora
The great outdoors
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.
There is plenty of parking on and around
campus, and it is well serviced by tram and
bus services.
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.
At the centre of the city
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.
Melbourne Central railway station is
convenient to most campus buildings, while
a number of north-south Yarra trams run up
and down Swanston Street.

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.

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.

Bachelor of Fashion (Design) (Honours)
Forever New scholarship recipient
Aside from providing me with an amazing gateway into the fashion industry,
the scholarship also means I can achieve all these crazy dreams and
design ideas that, in the past, may not have been financially viable.
The RMIT Forever New scholarship aims to foster inspiring and
exceptional talent in the Bachelor of Fashion (Design) (Honours). Recipients
receive $20,000, a European research trip with the Forever New buying team
and year long contract with the retailer’s design group upon graduation.
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

for a global career.
A career in design gives you the ability

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 states economy.

skills and connections to ensure flexible
and diverse global career opportunities,

how they choose.

Experiment as much as you

new skills, so challenge
yourself to learn something
new for each project.
Work hard and be
confident, get your work
out there! Create an online
portfolio and get on social
media. Share it, spread it
and only show work that
you enjoy doing.
Know the industry you’re
getting into both locally
and internationally.
Apply for internships,
jobs, competitions and
exhibitions.
Get feedback and opinions
from others to improve your
work. Sometimes feedback
hurts, but don’t take it
personally – grow that
tortoise shell of yours!

Jarni won the 2016 Walkley
Student of the Year Award. He
works freelance regularly for

I’m excited by the ways in
which digital journalism is
evolving and the new ways
of online multimedia and
interactive story-telling that
are emerging.
RMIT’s journalism course
has the best reputation, but
it was also the more practical
industry focus of the course
that drew me to it. It seemed
like a very hands-on, less
theoretical course which
for journalism is much more
relevant.

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.

Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science
Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences (Honours)
David has turned his passion for sport into a career, with his studies in
exercise and sports science landing him a job at the North Melbourne
Football Club.
Since completing work experience and my honours degree, I’ve secured
a full-time position at the North Melbourne Football Club as an assistant
performance analyst. Working in an area you love, with equally passionate
people, provides an amazing working environment.
From working with patients and researching new
therapies to carrying out diagnostic tests and ensuring
athletes perform at their best – health professionals
make a real dierence to the community.
Health and biomedical science programs
at RMIT are driven to improve lives and
make a positive impact. Strong industry
links and purpose-built facilities produce
health practitioners with skills that are
highly valued.
As the medical system moves from
“sick care” to “healthcare,” there’s
a strong focus on wellbeing, health
promotion, prevention, early detection,
diagnosis, treatment and care. It also
means the demand for health and
medical professionals is high and career
prospects are strong.
RMITs programs are developed in
consultation with program advisory
committees that are made up of
practising professionals and many
programs offer industry placements,
student clinics and work experience.
This ensures RMIT students graduate
with the skills, industry experience and
confidence to launch their careers.

Work placements are an integral
component of many programs,
allowing students to gain
experience and confidence, both in
Australia and overseas.

accredited and recognised by
professional bodies. Industry input
ensures teaching is current and
relevant.
Purpose-built clinics, laboratories
and classrooms help put theory
and practice in context.

Michael Marinelli
Bachelor of Arts
(International Studies)
International studies student
Michael has had many
opportunities to explore the
world during his degree. In
his first year of study, Michael
participated in a global
intensive study tour to The
Netherlands and Bosnia.
The trip immersed me in
the world of international
law as well as the fallout
from war crimes. It was an
unforgettable experience that
allowed me to really immerse
myself in practical learning
due to the field-trip nature of
the tour.
Michael also had the
opportunity to go to China
and Hong Kong, giving him
deepened knowledge of the
region’s foreign policy and
history. Michael has plans to
do a semester in the USA,

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.
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.
At RMIT you’ll go beyond the classroom
and apply what you’ve learned to
real-life problems. You’ll gain hands-
on experience working in teams during
field studies and excursions, locally and
internationally.
Projects that involve community groups
or companies allow you to put your skills
into action and make an impact before
you graduate.
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.

(Chemical Engineering)
(Honours)
Encouraged by the awards
and recognition he’s received
as a student, Leon dreams
that one day he might put
his skills to use to distil the
perfect whiskey.
I completed a week’s work
experience with Arup, a
firm of designers, planners,
engineers, consultants and
technical specialists who do
consultation work for projects
around the world.
I was embedded with their
Water Team on projects such
as water purification and
reuse. I enjoyed my time there
as it gave me an insight into
how an engineer can work
as a consultant and aid in
the design of a structure or
process.

Josh Caratelli
Bachelor of Computer Science
Josh was still at high school and studying RMITs
VCE extension studies, when he developed Smog
Game app for iPhones and iPads, which shows
children the benefit of reducing their carbon footprint.
Undertaking VCE extension studies at RMIT helped
immensely in alleviating some of the technical issues
I had, as I’m primarily a self-taught programmer, but
after I began to be formally taught programming at
RMIT, Smog Game’s code quality and rate of progress
shot up.
To be candid, taking the VCE extension studies was
nerve-wracking and exciting all jumbled into one big
mess!
But RMIT provides a very welcoming and friendly
environment to its students and by the end of the
program I had made a fantastic group of new friends,
had a taste of university life and had a nice ATAR boost
going into my exams.

Frequently asked questions
What are prerequisites?
Prerequisites are subjects that you need
to study in order to be eligible to apply for
a program. Make sure you check the
program you’re interested in to see what
subjects you need.
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
you have not completed compulsory
selection requirements.
There are different types of selection tasks
and some programs may have more than
one selection task.
Pre-selection kit: requires you to
complete a creative task or to supply a folio
of creative work.
Creative exercise: a face-to-face exercise
where you are required to complete a
creative task.
Folio assessment session: a session
where you’ll be asked to leave your folio with
program staff, who will assess your folio.
Selection kit: requires you to complete a
creative task or to supply a folio of creative

www.rmit.edu.au/study-with-us/applying-
to-rmit/local-student-applications/
how-to-apply/application-methods/direct-
application/supporting-documentation/
selection-tasks .
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.
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.
Why isn’t there an
ATAR published for
some programs?
Some programs do not have an ATAR
published. This might be because:
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
the program is new, so there is no clearly-
in ATAR from the previous year
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?
Some certificate and diploma programs
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.

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.

government. Fees cover the full cost of
tuition and vary from program to program.
To be eligible for a domestic full-fee place
you must be:
an Australian citizen, or
— an Australian permanent visa holder or
New Zealand citizen.
If you meet the above criteria but are not
enrolled in a full-fee place, then you are a
Commonwealth supported student.
If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for a
domestic full-fee place or a Commonwealth
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-credit-
point 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 government-
subsidised programs you have commenced
in your lifetime at each level.
