A message from
the Vice-Chancellor
Professor Alec Cameron
RMIT is an international university of technology, design
and enterprise. Our mission is to empower people and
communities to adapt and thrive across generations,
through education, research and civic engagement that
is applied, inclusive and impactful.
Our motto since 1887, ‘a skilled hand, a cultivated

mind’, reflects RMIT’s commitment to improving the
lives and futures of people in a fast-changing world.
Applying knowledge with skill, imagination and
integrity is at the core of all our work, along with close
connection and collaboration with the industries and
employers our graduates seek to join.
RMIT’s presence around the world enables our students

and staff to benefit from the exchange of ideas and
research across a broad ecosystem. Three substantial
campuses in Melbourne are located in the City,
Brunswick and Bundoora, along with other Victorian
locations. We also have two campuses and a language
centre in Vietnam, and a research and innovation hub
in Barcelona, Spain. In addition, programs are offered
through partners in Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka,
Indonesia, India and China, with research and industry
partnerships on every continent.
We continue to consolidate our reputation as one of

the world’s leaders in education and applied research.
At the heart of this is our ability to graduate highly
employable, global citizens who are ready to make
a positive contribution. Our diverse community of
500,000+ graduates live and work in more than 150
countries around the world. We regularly welcome our
alumni back throughout their careers to top up their
skills or change their direction altogether, because we
know education is lifelong.
Powered by the insight and ingenuity of our people,

RMIT will evolve and thrive for the decades to come,
working with our students and communities to achieve
their goals. I encourage you to take part.
Professor Alec Cameron

At RMIT, there are lots of ways to transfer between courses, but here are some
tips to find a starting point in the course selection process.
How to choose your course

after high school
Understand what’s important to you in a job or career
You might not know what career you want but are certain you’d like to get a job straight after graduating.
How important to you are factors such as flexibility, creativity, stability, enjoyability, salary and global opportunities?
Ask yourself what you’re curious about

You might be curious about specific career paths and what they involve, such as engineering.
Alternatively, your curiosity might be related to broader questions such as “What goes into creating a video game?”
Consider your favourite subjects at school

If none stand out, think about specific classes you’ve enjoyed and why. For example, you might find VCE Business
Management difficult as a whole subject, but really enjoyed the classes where you learned how businesses are planned
and started. University courses are much more diverse than school subjects – at RMIT, you could study anything from
artificial intelligence to footwear design!
Think about what you’re good at

Your hobbies and interests are big clues for course selection because they reflect what you enjoy and are good at.
For example, if you’re a debating captain, your strengths might be in communication, leadership and advocacy.

It was exciting to start the course with a bootcamp and get straight into
coding for the first six weeks. I had no coding experience, but I learned
so much in a short amount of time and then went straight into studio
class where we got to apply everything we’d learned.
At the end of it we built a website and a database from scratch.
