Melbourne city campus

Melbourne City campus is located in the cosmopolitan heart of the “world’s most liveable city” and is surrounded by public transport, restaurants, cafes, theatres, galleries and parks.

Our City campus has 45,000 students studying in across all major interest areas. The campus has been an integral part of Melbourne's character for more than one hundred years.

Unlike other university campuses, it isn’t closed off, or surrounded by walls - City campus life is Melbourne city life.

The campus is accessible by public transport and provides key features such as libraries, study spaces, Wi-Fi, childcare and a bustling fitness centre.

RMIT’s facilities and buildings are constantly evolving and expanding to meet the demands of contemporary university life. Across the campus you’ll find new award-winning buildings like the Swanston Academic Building and the Design Hub, and outdoor recreational spaces including the Alumni Courtyard and the A’Beckett Urban Square.

There are plenty of cheap and healthy food and drink outlets offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, snacks and drinks. You’ll also be in walking distance to hundreds of local restaurants and cafes, Melbourne Central and QV food courts and the famous Queen Victoria Market.

RMIT A'Beckett Urban Square is officially open. RMIT A'Beckett Urban Square.
