The learning experience at RMIT will continue to be blended, so you can learn flexibly through digital content, enjoy many opportunities to interact with others and experience the amazing specialist equipment and spaces that RMIT has to offer.
Digital learning will be a core part of every student’s experience at RMIT. This may be in the form of readings, videos or other kinds of learning materials that you can access on demand via Canvas as you learn at your own pace.
You’ll also have lots of opportunities to have meaningful interactions with your teachers and fellow students via face-to-face timetabled classes such as lectorials, tutorials, practicals and workshops. Your assessments will be authentic, practical and relevant to your future work. There will be no face-to-face exams unless there is a professional accreditation requirement in your program.
As we continue to be disrupted by COVID-19, where necessary, some courses and programs will still have online class options so that students unable to come to campus can keep learning. If government advice no longer allows learning activities to take place on campus, you will also continue learning online or be offered an alternative option appropriate for your course.
If you are unable to attend campus, either due to ongoing international travel restrictions or personal circumstances, you will either be offered equivalent online activities or the option to complete activities on campus at a future date.
Students can see which courses have online class options by checking their timetable before classes commence.
We have a range of programs that are delivered completely online, which will usually be stated on the relevant program page with Online listed as a location. However, for a more accurate list of our postgraduate programs delivered 100% online, you can visit the RMIT Online postgraduate programs.
If you are unsure, get in touch with the friendly staff at Study@RMIT.
Some of our masters degrees and graduate qualifications do have part-time study options available, which provides you with further flexibility to meet other commitments in your life. Part-time study is roughly half of the amount of a full-time study load.
The course page will usually list whether a part-time study option is available under the ‘duration’ section. However, the availability of part-time study loads may be subject to change, so you may wish to check with the friendly staff at Study@RMIT. Our staff are ready to answer any questions you have about programs, applications, pathways and important dates for local and international prospective students.
It is strongly recommended that you accept your offer as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may miss out on your preferred classes or your offer may lapse. If you haven’t already accepted before the deadline for your program, we will send you a reminder email.
Thinking of deferring? You can only defer to the next intake once you have accepted your offer. That way, we can keep your place for the next intake.
The first step is to check that you meet RMIT’s research entry requirements. RMIT admits applicants based on their demonstrated capacity to conduct independent research. All applicants for research programs must meet the minimum entry requirements for local and international students.
If you are an international applicant, you will also be required to provide evidence of English language proficiency. If you are from a country that is not on the list of countries recognised by RMIT as English-speaking you will need to provide official evidence of proficiency in the form of test results. Find out about the required level and types of evidence accepted.
After you’ve checked that you meet the entry requirements, you can proceed with your application.
Taking a campus tour is a great way to see what RMIT has to offer, as well as hearing from current RMIT students about their experiences.
Every Wednesday from 3 – 4pm, the friendly team at Study@RMIT is running a series of free, 30-minute tours at the Melbourne City campus facilities and resources. Our tour ambassador will take you around award-winning buildings, view learning and social study spaces and answer any questions along the way.
