Experience media at RMIT

Alice Ivy. Media music industry.

Forging a creative future in music industry

Winner of the 2016 Triple J Unearthed Listen Out competition, Alice Ivy, broadened her music knowledge in RMIT’s Bachelor of Arts (Music Industry).

“As someone fresh out of high school, the course was a great introduction to different areas of the industry. I was introduced to the basics of music production. This enabled me to go on and work as a full-time artist and producer.”

RMIT student, Aaron.

Impacting what's next with a global career in cinematography

Through the Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media, Aaron found a passion for cinematography. 

“What I really enjoyed about the course was that I tried everything out so early on. I discovered that I liked shooting short films, getting behind the camera and all the practical hands-on stuff, so I decided on cinematography. When I applied for an attachment on a film, I was able to start in the camera department."
