The future of business

How will my course be delivered?

With a focus on collaboration, the learning experience at RMIT will mostly be delivered through face-to-face classes. Relevant learning materials and content will be available online and can be accessed prior to and in-between classes via our digital learning platform.

During classes, you'll deepen your knowledge by connecting with expert teachers and undertaking projects and assessments that are both individual and collaborative, so that you can graduate work-ready.

You'll also gain a range of opportunities beyond the classroom, which may include global and industry experiences. Industry experiences will be a key part of your learning and may be in the form of presentations and panels with industry experts, real-world client briefs, simulated workplace experiences in the classroom and more.

In this new era of business, an age of globalisation, automation and digital-commerce... Change is the only constant.

Our world is growing, shifting and evolving at lightning pace.

And our careers are evolving with it. So how do you prepare for the roles of tomorrow? For jobs that may not even exist yet?

At RMIT, we believe education is key and our aim is to help you develop the skills that industry requires, now, and into the future. That's why we've developed our new Bachelor of Business.

At most universities, students need to choose a major or specialisation before they've even started their degree. But at RMIT we do things differently.

We want you to develop your own personalised course of study. To have greater freedom to study what you choose, and the flexibility to discover what you love. We want you to be the architect of your own educational experience.

Our students can choose any one, or two, of our 15 majors, and complement this with a choice of 35 minors. So you're free to explore a myriad of different courses, to think creatively, to map out new territory, and rewrite the rules.

You can combine specialisations like Blockchain-enabled Business or Accounting, with studies in creative and social disciplines, like Behavioral Science or Entrepreneurship.

You can choose not to do a major at all, and select across our entire range of business and cross-college offerings.

You can change your mind and explore new subjects as your interests or goals shift over time.

You'll develop a digital portfolio, to build your confidence as an emerging professional, and show off your achievements to potential employers.

You'll work with industry, government, and the community on projects. Playing a critical part in solving real world problems.

And with no more traditional lectures or exams, you'll find out more about who you are, and what's meaningful to you.

In this self-curated program, your peers aren't there because they have to be. They're enrolled in subjects because they're curious, passionate, and engaged.

It makes RMIT an extraordinary place to learn.

So find out what's next in business at RMIT.

How am I selected for entry into the course?

Every RMIT program has its own specific set of entry requirements during the admissions dates. To be selected you need to meet the entry requirements as outlined on the program page as part of the application assessment.

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. Study pathways provide opportunities for you to transfer from one course to another based on your previous educational experience.

How and when do you choose your majors and minors?

You will be given a study plan to choose your major/minor combinations. You will need to choose the relevant subjects to form your major and minor in enrolment.

Can I change from the Bachelor of Business to the Bachelor of Business (Professional Practice) at any point?

Yes, you can change to a Bachelor of Business (Professional Practice) during your Bachelor of Business, however students should be aware that these two courses have different structures. Due to these differences the later in the course that a student transfers the more likely they are to increase the duration of their study.

You can also change your major halfway through your degree provided you have sufficient credit points available.

Can I receive any credits if I am enrolling from another university or from a vocational education course?

Yes! Students who are studying at another institution, TAFE or university can apply to study at RMIT and may be eligible to receive credit for their previous study.
