Engineering at RMIT
When you study RMIT's specialised engineering courses, you'll gain specific knowledge right from the start. You'll get the chance to work with industry through work placements, industry projects and work-integrated learning.
Cross-disciplinary postgraduate skills
We know that in the real world engineers need to work with specialists outside their field. Our postgraduate degrees include common subjects in the first and final years to replicate the industry environment and allow collaboration with engineers from other disciplines. These common subjects allow you to develop cross-disciplinary skills through practical project-based experiences.
Industry links
RMIT is known for industry-based, practical learning, which is demonstrated through our engineering courses. Strong relationships with industry leaders around the world mean our courses and facilities align with contemporary and future workplaces.
These industry partnerships provide you with experience that is sought after by employers, which could lead to work placements, industry projects, mentoring and overseas opportunities.
Globally recognised
RMIT features among the world’s top 100 universities for civil and structural engineering, and electrical and electronic engineering, and the top 150 in chemical engineering and mechanical, aeronautical and manufacturing engineering.
By studying at RMIT, you receive a qualification which is internationally recognised and highly-regarded by industry, giving them the opportunities to launch careers both in Australia and overseas.
Study overseas
Get a competitive edge and an international perspective of engineering. RMIT's International Industry Experience and Research Program offers you the chance to do a paid internship with global engineering companies in Europe, Asia and the USA.
Also, as part of the student exchange program, you can study at one of RMIT’s 150 partner institutions worldwide (including Colombia, Germany and Japan), while gaining full credit towards your program.
Engineers Australia graduate membership accreditation
We connect with industry leaders to keep up with engineering trends and stay at the forefront of new technology – so when you graduate you’ll be job ready. To support you in your career goals you’ll also be eligible for Engineers Australia graduate membership as our undergraduate engineering degrees are accredited with this peak body.
Flexible TAFE pathways
Studying a certificate or diploma provides an excellent pathway to a university degree, with up to two years credit available to students transferring across to an RMIT bachelor program. Over 80% of RMIT students studying a diploma or associate degree successfully transfer to a four-year course each year.
