At RMIT, minors give you the flexibility to explore the things that excite you, beyond the core focus of your primary course.
They are a way to tailor your degree so it reflects your personal interests, opens up new opportunities or lets you dip your toe into a different area.
A minor is a set of 4 subjects in a specific study area, that sits alongside your major and core studies. They let you broaden or deepen your knowledge in a field, customising your degree to suit your personal path.
Minors are chosen as part of your elective options. Depending on your course, you can:
Boost employability by demonstrating cross-disciplinary skill.
Provide versatility with a qualification that gives depth and breadth across disciplines.
Open new career paths, leading you into industries you might not have considered.
Here are some examples of how minors can complement your studies and open up your career opportunities:
There is no need to apply separately for a minor. Instead, follow these steps:
Accept your offer for a bachelor course at RMIT.
Check the list of minors available for your degree on the course plan information page.
Select the minor when enrolling in electives, following the sequence of 4 subjects.
If the course you're enrolled in allows for a minor, you will be able to add the relevant subjects in years 2 and 3 of your degree.
Not every course offers minors, and some may limit you to just one. Always check your specific course for the most accurate information.
