Overview

The Bachelor of Design (Animation and Interactive Media) looks at animation in all its forms, from the animated character to motion graphics across linear and interactive environments. Presented in a creative environment, this degree focuses on intellectual investigation and conceptual development.

Upon graduating, you will demonstrate aesthetic and intellectual maturity, as well as strong technical abilities within design, media and art disciplines.

Students and staff enjoy wide national and international acknowledgement, and exhibit in festivals and conferences such as Siggraph, MIAF, LIAF, MILIA and Annecy.

At RMIT, you're learning from the best. Our art, design and animation courses regularly rank in the top 10 internationally, and are considered some of the best in Australia. Many of our teaching staff are practising artists, designers and industry practitioners. They are experienced educators who are actively engaged in research in their areas of expertise. 

I'm very happy to be at RMIT because of my teachers. They all have over 10 years experience so they know what students want. They teach us design skills as well as everything about the industry.

In this degree, there is a strong focus of practical learning, even in theory subjects.

Your study will take place in studios and workshops, and will include a guest lecture series from staff from industry.

A major component of the course is studio practice. This will engage you in learning about animation and interactive media through immersion into the discipline, its methods and practices through set projects and briefs.

You will be assessed through presentations, digital submission and peer-reviewed work. Over the three years, you will work towards the completion of an industry-ready folio of work including a major production.

Work placement and internships are available through the studio courses.

This course replicates work found in real-world industry studios. Assigned tasks simulate industry-based work practices.

Previous students have found work placements with animation and media agencies such as LucasArts, Viskatoons, and Iloura as a result of program industry connections.

This is the top animation degree in Victoria, helping to attract a strong international student cohort.

The global focus of skills taught means your proficiency can be applied globally. As a result, you will be encouraged to submit your work to international festivals to receive global recognition during and upon graduation.

Global work, exchange and study experiences

RMIT offers a range of opportunities for our students to study abroad through global work, exchange and study experiences with over 165 partner universities worldwide.

The knowledge and skills you will acquire throughout this degree and how they can be applied in your career are described in the learning outcomes.

You’ll start your hands-on learning from day one, allowing you three full years of exposure to the design and artistic elements of animation.

Year 1

Through imaging, design, media studies and production studios, you will receive a comprehensive introduction to animation and interactive media. You will cover areas of narrative development, as well as developing performance, visual and aural literacy.

Year 2

In semester 1 you will study 2D and 3D animation, interactive media, and digital effects.

In semester 2 you will engage in the studio model through electing to work on particular projects or briefs. You will also select electives from 2D and 3D animation, sound design, interactive media, video, experimental video, and alternative animation.

Year 3

In the final year there is emphasis on collaborative and conceptual development. You again engage with the studio model and choose another elective. In the final semester you will produce a major work of your own design, the final outcome of which will be an industry-ready folio to showcase your skills and abilities.

New government eligibility rules in 2022 - low completion rates

From 2022, there are new government rules about eligibility for higher education student funding as part of the Australian Government’s Job-ready Graduates legislation. If you're starting a program in or after 2022 and are enrolled in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP) or have a HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP loan, these changes affect you. For details, please see Low completion rate and government funding.

If you are offered a Commonwealth supported place, your tuition fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.

Your share of the fee (student contribution) is set on an annual basis by the government and is determined by the discipline areas (bands) of your individual enrolled courses, not the overall program.

How much can I expect to pay for my Commonwealth supported place?

The Australian Government has introduced changes to university funding and student contribution fees under its Job-ready Graduates Package. 

The fees in the table below apply to students commencing their program in 2022. Fees for continuing students are available at fees for Commonwealth supported students.

Each course (subject) falls into a band. The band determines the student contribution amount for the course.

Amounts listed in the table below are based on a standard, full-time study load (96 credit points per year) with all courses in the same band. A proportionate fee applies for more or less than the full-time study load or for enrolment in courses (subjects) from a combination of bands.

You can learn how to calculate your exact tuition fees for units from different bands at Fees for Commonwealth supported students.

Maximum student contribution amount for Commonwealth supported places in 2022 for commencing students

Student contribution band by course (subject)

Maximum annual student contribution amount (per EFTSL) in 2022
Education, Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, English, Mathematics, Statistics, Nursing, Indigenous and Foreign Languages, Agriculture $3,985 per standard year
$498 per standard (12 credit point) course
Allied Health, Other Health, Built Environment, Computing, Visual and Performing Arts, Professional Pathway Psychology, Professional Pathway Social Work, Engineering, Surveying, Environmental Studies, Science, Pathology $8,021 per standard year
$1,002 per standard (12 credit point) course
Dentistry, Medicine, Veterinary Science $11,401 per standard year
$1,425 per standard (12 credit point) course
Law, Accounting, Administration, Economics, Commerce, Communications, Society and Culture $14,630 per standard year
$1,828 per standard (12 credit point) course

HECS-HELP Loans

The Australian Government provides financial assistance via the HECS-HELP loan scheme, which allows eligible students (such as Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) to defer payment of up to the full amount of their student contribution.

SA-HELP Loans

You may be eligible to apply to defer payment of the Student services and amenities fee (SSAF) through the SA-HELP loan scheme. If you use SA-HELP, the amount will be added to your accumulated HELP debt.

How does a HELP loan work?

If your FEE-HELP and/or SA-HELP loan application is successful, the Australian Government will pay RMIT, on your behalf, up to 100% of your fees. This amount will become part of your accumulated HELP debt.

You only start repaying your accumulated HELP debt to the Australian Government once you earn above the minimum income threshold for repayment, which is set each year by the Australian Government (this also applies if you are still studying). The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will calculate your compulsory repayment for the year and include this on your income tax notice.

For more information about loan repayment options see Commonwealth assistance (HELP loans) or Study Assist.

In addition to tuition fees, you will be charged an annual student services and amenities fee (SSAF), which is used to maintain and enhance services and amenities that improve your experience as an RMIT student.

The SSAF is calculated based on your enrolment load and the maximum fee for 2022 is $315.

For more information about calculating your actual SSAF see Paying SSAF.

You may also be required to purchase other items related to your program, including field trips, textbooks and equipment. These additional fees and expenses vary from program to program.
