Meet our students
Meet Emma – film and television producer
Since graduating from a Bachelor of Communication (Media), Emma Haarburger has gone on to win awards for her film and television production work. Her best advice for breaking into the industry includes, “Be organised: that goes without saying. Work hard both in and out of university. Make sure you have fun, but also put your hand up for as many co-curricular activities as you can! And make friends; the classmates you have will be your colleagues and peers in the future.”
Meet Edwin - Bachelor of Design (Digital Media)
"My team was given the task to raise awareness of Melbourne Zoo's waste management system through a digital platform. We had the creative freedom to develop our ideas, with support and guidance from our RMIT supervisors."
Every new turn of technology and approach seems to offer up new audiences hungry for content. RMIT is responsive to real-world media and I applaud RMIT's vision in equipping students with a confidence to step out into a crowded marketplace and to find collaborators with whom to pursue their ideas, connecting with the industry and the wider screen community.
Sue Maslin - Screen Producer, RMIT
