Global projects, real outcomes

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.

Design the world we live in... and beyond

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.

Facilities and locations

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.

Katrina Simon

Learn from the best

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
