Diploma in Nursing

at EduCo - RMIT University - Bundoora Campus Australia

It also includes other therapies such as acupuncture, cupping (applying a heated cup to the skin to create suction) and tui na (remedial massage).

The emphasis is on the integration of Chinese medicine and western medical sciences, working together with the health community to provide the community with skilled health practitioners in Chinse medicine. Advanced clinical training is provided in Australia and China (where practicable) to broaden your clinical experience.

Graduates will be able to practise Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture at an internationally accepted level, with the capacity to launch careers in independent practice, or working within healthcare organisations as a Chinese medicine practitioner registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

The Master of Clinical Psychology provides you with the advanced knowledge and clinical skills that will enable you to function as professional clinical psychologist in a wide range of health, community and allied settings.

This training encompasses a wide range of theoretical and applied topics, such as knowledge of psychological principles, application of psychological theories and models, design and implementation of psychological interventions, ethical, legal and professional aspects of psychological practice, psychological assessment and measurement, applied research and evaluation, and communication and interpersonal relationships.

Advanced skills in assessment, diagnosis and treatment are imparted through intensive, small-group face-to-face didactic lectures/seminars, tutorials, case presentations, role plays and workshops. Students receive ample opportunities to develop advanced therapeutic skills within a cognitive-behavioural framework and other contemporary evidence-based theoretical paradigms, utilising the scientist-practitioner model.

Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in health and biomedical sciences.

This approach brings together clinical and basic researchers who explore the boundaries between the disciplines. Findings inform clinical teaching and advance the treatment of patients.

Projects can involve more than 120 researchers including academic staff, postdoctoral fellows, research assistants, support staff, honours and postgraduate students. Research is undertaken at RMIT's Bundoora campus in the purpose-built biosciences facility. The building's shared spaces promote a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to science.

Under expert supervision, you will develop your skills and join researchers already active in:

• Cardiovascular disease, stroke and thrombosis
• Chronic respiratory disease
• Comparative biochemistry
• Endocrinology and metabolic disease (obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease)
• Gastrointestinal diseases
• Nanosafe Australia
• Natural products, drug discovery and new therapeutics
• Neuropharmacology and neuroinflammatory diseases
• Nutrition and exercise physiology and biochemistry
• Skin biology and tissue repair

Set young children up for a lifelong love of learning.

As an early childhood teacher, you will support young learners and their families as advocates, enablers, custodians and thinkers—nurturing tomorrow’s global citizens in yet-to-be-imagined futures.

The Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education is designed to give you the skills and confidence to become an innovative and attuned professional teacher with the knowledge and experience to work in private enterprise, government agencies and community-based early childhood education settings, either locally or globally.

At the end of your studies, you'll be qualified to teach in the early childhood setting in Victoria. If you’re interested in teaching outside of Victoria or overseas, registration will be subject to the criteria of the relevant state or overseas accrediting authorities.

This degree is built on core studies in mechanical engineering, with a specialisation in automotive engineering to develop economical and sustainable automotive designs or solve modern transport problems such as electrification and automation.

You'll study vehicle power systems, vehicle noise and vibration, vehicle handling and control, sustainable vehicle design, automotive manufacturing, vehicle aerodynamics, and autonomous vehicles.

The degree incorporates complete car design with a focus on new technologies that benefit society such as driverless cars, full-electric, hybrid power trains and fuel cells. It takes a global view and is increasingly environmental in outlook.

The emphasis will be on hands-on learning, with your work largely laboratory-based, where you'll conduct experiments and design your own projects.

With the opportunity to undertake industry placements either locally or internationally, you'll be work-ready when you graduate. There are also opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.

The Diploma of Nursing has been designed to help you build knowledge and skills in a practical learning environment. Through on-campus simulation laboratories and industry placements, you'll graduate ready to help others.

There continues to be a high demand for enrolled nurses, and job expectations in this field are strong. In this nationally-accredited diploma, you will gain the skills to help provide acute, curative and rehabilatative care under the direction of a registered nurse.

You’ll learn to work with patients of all ages in different environments. There is a focus on aged care, community, acute care and mental health. You’ll also learn how to administer intravenous medications and gain the skills in acute care, which involves medical and surgical nursing skills.

Throughout your study, you can expect to study topics including:

• Basic anatomy and physiology
• Wound management
• Analysing health information
• Infection control
• Medications and intravenous administration
• Caring for patients with acute and chronic conditions
• Nursing care for diabetes
• Implementing nursing care plans
• Evaluating the care provided
• Researching and applying evidence-based practice.

You’ll benefit from a technology-enhanced learning experience using simulation laboratories, and a new web-based simulation. This combined with a minimum of 400 hours of work placement ensures that you will graduate work-ready.

The Master of Biotechnology focuses on the study of living systems to address challenges in the environment, health or food science.

Students will explore gene and protein technologies, bioinformatics, and various microbiology and food science disciplines, both in the classroom and via a strong component of hands-on laboratory practicals.

This program includes an option to complete one semester of either work experience in the form of an industry placement, or a research project where you’ll complete minor thesis.

All students have the opportunity to analyse real-world data when they undertake a research project.

Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in medical radiation sciences.

The School of Health and Biomedical Sciences takes a multidisciplinary approach to offer you opportunities to conduct leading-edge medical radiations research.

Your research will be supported by excellent research facilities including specialised laboratories.

Under expert supervision, you will develop your skills and join researchers already active in:

• Medical physics
• Nuclear medicine
• Quantitative and qualitative projects in medical imaging
• Radiation therapy.

RMIT's clinical and experiential research projects contribute to the growth and development of food sciences in Australia.

Under expert supervision, you will join researchers already active in:

• Application of nanotechnology to food products
• Bioprocessing
• Biosensors, food microbiology and safety
• Encapsulation of micronutrients, enzymes, probiotics and essential fatty acids
• Food, nutrition and health (nutrigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, nutritional immunology)
• Emerging technologies for improving cheese flavour functionality of dietary fibre from agricultural byproducts and native foods
• Gut microflora, probiotics, prebiotics and health
• Non thermal technologies for added value
• Structure-function relationships of dairy proteins for food products.

This master degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.

The School of Science is renowned for our technical expertise and understanding of the commercial realities and needs of different industry sectors.
