All programs are delivered in English. You will have access to online resources through the myRMIT student portal.

Honours research projects tend to be closely aligned to industry and professional practice. Your teachers and supervisors will provide assessment and feedback on how your research contributes to the field based on industry-relevant knowledge.

RMIT University is committed to providing you with an education that strongly links formal learning with professional or vocational practice.

Honours gives you the ability to differentiate yourself from degree graduates by specialising in your field over the course of an extra year’s study.

The media and communication industry is constantly evolving due to technological advances and changes in societal values, which influence the way we find information and communicate with each other.

Completing an honours year helps you keep up to date with your area of interest and demonstrates your outstanding ability to industry, both of which increase your employability. It is the traditional pathway to a masters by research or a doctorate (PhD).

Successful honours research projects tend to be an entry point into a student's preferred career.

Assessment is by academics and industry practitioners based around the world. This will provide you with a global outlook on your work by considering viewpoints from multiple regions and how your work can have different cultural impacts.
