Programs and teaching

The School of Management offers diverse undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programs, focusing on business management, entrepreneurship, and social change.

Our teaching approach

The School of Management at RMIT takes a hands-on, industry-focused approach to teaching, ensuring that students are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in a dynamic global environment.

Drawing on RMIT’s international reputation for excellence in work-relevant education, we develop well-educated, self-aware, and highly competent business leaders. Our programs are designed to meet the evolving needs of industry, helping students build technical, analytical, and leadership skills required to manage organisations in a complex, globalised economy.

Central to our teaching approach is Work Integrated Learning (WIL), which is embedded across all programs. This allows students to gain practical experience through internships, projects, and collaborations with industry partners. WIL enables students to be work-ready upon graduation while providing opportunities to build valuable professional networks.

We embrace student-centred, research-informed pedagogy, combining leading theories with authentic industry experiences. Our programs integrate online and face-to-face learning, blending the best of both pedagogies. Innovative teaching practices, including interactive technologies, enhance learning and engage students with industry in the classroom.

Through our various undergraduate and postgraduate offerings, including EMBA and MBA, the School of Management equips graduates with the knowledge, skills, and ethics they need to be successful in their professional careers.
