These latest results consolidate the University’s strong reputation for preparing students for the future world of work and life.
The Good Universities Guide has been published annually since 1992, comparing the performance of Australian universities and higher education providers to inform potential students about degree programs at a national level. The ratings have been based on a student experience survey for the past few years.
Professor Belinda Tynan, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Education and Vice-President, said the results reflect RMIT’s focus on giving students exceptional experiences and setting them up for future success.

“Now more than ever, we are seeing the importance of gaining practical skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
