The learning and teaching environment is made up of audiovisual classrooms, sound computer labs, live sound studios and recording and mixing sound studios.
Audio computer labs for software training and assessment are available to students, as well as online support.
Outside of the classroom, live performance venues are also used in order for students to gain experience in the working environment.
The Diploma of Music (Sound Production) offers you the opportunity to develop your hands-on skills. While theory classes cover important foundation skills and are delivered in lectures or online, the majority of the year is spent working in our specialised Sound Labs working on DAWs like ProTools, as well as in teams using our professional live audio equipment and state of the art sound recording studios working with musicians and being supervised by industry professionals.
Online delivery of some classes also allows for flexible engagement and skill development away from RMIT but can occur onsite as required.

Blended learning options
Courses offered as part of blended learning programs include a meaningful blend of online, on-campus, and workplace based learning tailored to the type of study you undertake. This learning is active, prioritising tasks that involve exploration and development of skills and knowledge through interaction and engagement.
Online aspects provide positive benefits such as flexibility and adaptability using digital activities and materials, while also strengthening the interaction and connection with timetabled and on-campus experiences such as tutorials, practicals, or workshops.
