RMIT ranks highly among the world's top universities for the study of architecture; a ranking that highlights our ongoing commitment to designing better ways of living in our complex and rapidly changing world.
RMIT is globally recognised for its contribution to architecture. Our graduates are design innovators who achieve at the highest levels of their professions around the world. By studying here, you’ll engage with some of Australia’s most respected architects, builders, and business leaders through work-integrated learning, and develop the skills necessary to become a design innovator. Be inspired by RMIT’s own award-winning architectural buildings, develop your ideas, design in a dynamic urban laboratory, and cement yourself as an architect to watch.
In the RMIT architecture faculty, we are globally-renowned for long standing links with industry through our teaching staff, many of whom are internationally recognised, award-winning, practicing architects. Practices led by our staff and adjunct professors have received the Victorian Architecture Medal every year from 2013 to 2018.
Travel the world and explore a different culture while you study. As part of global study tours, our students have examined the impact of speculative planning in Spain, created a memorial landscape park to the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and have tested design ideas around urban and landscape resilience in Italy.
In the next giant leap for humankind, RMIT students Dana Mateluna and Bonnie Lester are designing and creating a sophisticated civilisation on Mars. The project is so unique that the Discovery Channel is airing a six-part documentary series featuring participants from all over the world. RMIT is one of only two Australian universities participating in the project.
As a student, you will have the opportunity to work on industry-relevant projects, engage with professionals, and learn in an urban laboratory of design: our award-winning Design Hub, designed by alumni and architect Sean Godsell. Your studies will combine experimental design with industry-linked projects to develop your creative approach to architecture.
RMIT’s New Academic Street swept the field at the 2018 Victorian Architecture Awards, taking out the Victorian Architecture Medal and five other prizes. You can study at a university that not only teaches ingenious, inventive approaches to design, but practices them, too.
Design veteran and associate professor Katrina Simon has been announced as RMIT’s new Associate Dean of Landscape Architecture in the School of Architecture and Urban Design.
I’m inspired by the longevity and impact landscape architecture can have. I can develop a project over two years, and the outcome might exist for 100 years.
– Matthew Kneale, Bachelor of Landscape Architectural Design
