Study pathways provide opportunities for you to transfer from one RMIT course to another based on your previous educational experience. There's often more than one way to get into a degree so don’t worry if you don’t meet all the criteria at first.

Your previous studies may be recognised in one of two ways:

• Completed or partly completed certificate, diploma and advanced diploma qualifications can be credited towards a degree.
• Partly completed degree studies may be credited to other RMIT courses.

Some certificates and diplomas allow you to earn credit that may be transferred to a degree at a later stage. In addition, being acknowledged for previous study may reduce the duration of your program and save you money. There are a number of recognised pathway options so check your course or interest area to see what's offered.

If you’ve completed previous study which is similar to the course you are applying for, it’s possible you may be eligible for study credit based on this experience. When you apply you will be asked to note previous study which will be considered with your application.

Once you’ve been made an offer you will need to fill out a credit application form and it will be assessed on a case by case basis. You can find a list of different types of study credit, along with a step-by-step guide on how to request them here. 

Each year scholarships are awarded to thousands of new and continuing students. Whether you want to study overseas, apply for an international industry placement, or kick-start your new research career, there's a scholarship to assist you.

Scholarships can help with all kinds of study costs such as textbooks, fees, accommodation and living expenses. While many of the scholarships consider academic achievement, scholarships based on many criteria including your study area and level of study, research, travel and personal circumstances. 
 

• Scholarships for academic achievement - for students with outstanding academic results
• Research scholarships - to assist students with their academic and career goals.
