From atoms to organisms
Do you ever ask why stuff happens? Or wonder how? Are you looking for a degree that answers the BIG questions? Science could be for you. Learn if you’re biology, environmental scientist, physics or nanotechnology is right for you.
Meet Angela – Master of Biotechnology
RMIT Master of Biotechnology graduate, Angela Peng talks about her journey to become a research assistant in the Cancer Development and Treatment Laboratory at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. With a competitive job market, Angela found industry experience gave her not only an edge but valuable networking experience.
Discover your options: Postgraduate science at RMIT
All science master programs at RMIT are designed and taught by experts and industry leaders to encourage research and innovation and to ensure our students are work ready.
Students choose from specialisations including analytics, biotechnology, environmental, geospatial, medical physics, nanotechnology and statistics. RMIT recognises that engagement with industry is critical and students may complete work placements, undertake advanced research projects, and or go on regular field trips throughout their studies.
International opportunity: China Environmental challenges study tour
RMIT environmental engineering and science students gain a global perspective as part of an intensive two-week study tour through China. The experience allows students to explore an international perspective on a relevant environmental issue and collaborate on projects that aim to solve pollution and degradation issues.
Senior lecturer, and coordinator of the China study tour, Dr Matthew Currell describes the tour as a valuable experience for RMIT students:
“During their time in China, students hear firsthand from experts working on real issues that are affecting the country".
World's thinnest hologram
An Australian-Chinese team led by RMIT University has developed the world's thinnest hologram. The nano-hologram is 1000 times thinner than a human hair. You don’t need 3D glasses to see it overcoming size barriers faced by computer-generated holograms. This technology and RMIT are taking us closer to having 3D holograms in everyday devices.
RMIT is preparing me to be able to work in research by exposing me to current and potential nanomaterials and nanotechnologies.
