With a range of programs across the economics, finance and marketing disciplines it has never been easier to turn your passion into a career.

Here’s what students have to say about our programs:

I was particularly drawn to the applied programs and their focus on industry experience. The course exposed me to different aspects of marketing and provided many opportunities to extend and challenge myself. I’ve learnt to be resilient and communicate with team members, and I feel confident in adapting to the new challenges industry brings.

My favourite part of the course so far is the collaborative nature between lecturers and students. I’ve developed connections I will keep even after graduation. I feel like this course has given me confidence and knowledge in both theory as well as application. I feel prepared to enter into industry as RMIT provides lots of real world projects.

As a researcher, every milestone has been incredibly rewarding. My supervisors have been very supportive throughout my journey. For anyone thinking about undertaking a HDR, my advice is to focus on critical thinking and bringing new ideas into your field of interest.
