Your guide to what's next

We’re here to help and guide you through your RMIT journey, no matter where you’re at. Explore our hands-on courses and discover the steps to making your VTAC preference count.

Discover what your dream course is by browsing RMIT’s hands-on, industry-connected courses to see how you can own what’s next.

The courses that you find here could inform your VTAC preference selections, so keep them in mind when the time comes.

Once you’ve narrowed down your top courses, make sure you check the course entry requirements and prerequisites.  Some courses have a specific ATAR requirement, while others require you to have completed certain VCE subjects. It’s also good to familiarise yourself with any selection tasks for your course, such as folio submissions. The entry requirements for your degree can be found on the RMIT course page. 

If you are worried you may not meet the entry requirements, or aren’t going to have an ATAR, it’s important to know that there are lots of other ways into university, for example an RMIT pathways option. 

Pathways are alternate ways to get into a course by completing a hands-on certificate or diploma (also known as a TAFE course) before transferring into your dream undergraduate degree. They are a great way to land that perfect course, even if you don’t meet the course entry requirements.  

You can search for an easy pathway to the course of your choice with our handy Pathways Finder.

If you want to find out a bit more about RMIT’s next-level facilities and courses, keep an eye out for the next RMIT Open Day. What better way to learn about your future study than to walk the halls and talk to lecturers yourself?

As the year progresses, keep in mind the key VTAC preference selection dates, then the Change of Preference dates later in the year. Change of Preference gives you a chance to alter your course preferences before receiving an official offer from a university.

Once you’ve got your offer from RMIT, it’s time to kick back and wait for Semester 1. In the meantime, keep an eye on the RMIT key dates and events.

Whether you’re choosing VTAC preferences or want more information about pathways options, we are here to help. Contact us to find out more about what RMIT has to offer!

There can be a lot to consider and that may be overwhelming, but don’t worry. RMIT has many services and tools that can help Year 10 and 11s explore their options.

Depending on the course that you want to study in university, your VCE subjects may act as prerequisites. 

A prerequisite is a class or subject that you need to complete in order to be eligible for entry into a certain university course. Prerequisites are required in some courses to ensure that you have the appropriate level of understanding in a field before studying it at a university level.  

If you need some tips on choosing your VCE subjects, check out our guide to choosing your subjects.
