What this episode’s about

If you’re considering RMIT University in Melbourne, there are a few things worth knowing before you head to an RMIT Open Day. In this episode, I take a closer look at what makes RMIT different from other Melbourne universities and the types of students and courses it can be a particularly good fit for.

I cover:

  • RMIT’s location in the heart of Melbourne – what being a city-based university means for students, including access to public transport, the city and the broader Melbourne community.

  • RMIT as a dual-sector university – RMIT offers both vocational education and training (VET) and higher education. I explain what this means and how students can use RMIT’s different study options to explore pathways between vocational and university study.

  • RMIT’s strong industry connections – RMIT has a strong focus on practical, industry-connected education, including opportunities to develop skills and connections that can be relevant to future careers.

  • RMIT’s areas of strength – I look at some of the areas RMIT is particularly well known for, including engineering, design, fashion, media and communication, and other creative and applied disciplines.

  • What to look for at an RMIT Open Day – the questions you can ask and the information you can gather to work out whether RMIT and the course you're considering are right for you.

If you're comparing RMIT with other Melbourne universities, this episode is a useful starting point for understanding what RMIT offers, how its study pathways work, and what makes the university different.
