RMIT admits students based on their demonstrated capacity to succeed. As part of this, RMIT sets minimum university-wide requirements, including age and English language requirements, outlined below.
You must be at least 16 years old when your program (course) begins. Some courses set a higher age requirement than the University's minimum. Exceptions may apply in some situations.
Options include an accepted English language proficiency test, studies from an accepted English language provider, or hold a recognised qualification.
Each RMIT program (course) has specific academic requirements that you must meet to be considered for entry. These requirements are based on your previous studies and academic results.
You can find the requirements for your chosen course in the ‘Entry requirements and admissions’ section of the course page and, if applying via VTAC, in the VTAC course entry.
Most vocational and undergraduate courses require a minimum average score for qualifications recognised by RMIT as equivalent to the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE).

Some courses may require more than one task.
