These majors can be complemented by an extensive choice of generalist minors within these and additional areas, offering further flexibility or the opportunity for further specialisation.

This degree will stimulate your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help you to be competitive across all science-led disciplines.

This degree will provide you with the foundation research skills that will support your future career as a scientist or researcher.

• Specifically, you will develop:
• communication skills
• critical thinking capability
• advanced knowledge within your chosen discipline
• knowledge of research practice and skills
• research independence and capacity for self-directed learning.
• Research experience is required for most academic and research positions, and increasingly for positions in other sectors.

In consultation with your discipline honours coordinator and your supervisor, you'll be allocated a project to develop your skills to an advanced level.

The Master of Landscape Architecture is about envisioning, investigating, and proposing better ways of living in a complex and changing world.

The Master of Landscape Architecture course is accredited by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects. The course is recognised as a world-class facility in fostering design knowledge, critical thinking, and design advocacy through innovative teaching and research.
RMIT’s Master of Landscape Architecture will equip you to become a leader and innovator in landscape architectural practice.

You’ll learn through design studios, which operate as laboratories conducive to experimentation, investigation, and the exploration of design as an agent that responds to issues in the built environment. Studios are led by distinguished local and international academic practitioners drawing from a diverse field of knowledge and experience.

As part of your studies in the Master of Engineering (Electronic Engineering), you will study subjects that go beyond the theory of recent engineering developments.

Areas of study include:

• Electronic circuit design
• Integrated circuit design and fabrication
• Embedded electronics
• Electronics control systems
• Computer systems electronics
• Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
• Micro/nanoscale device design and fabrication
• Sensors and actuators

This degree also has a focus on developing your technical, personal and business skills. As a result, you will be well equipped for leadership roles in business and industry. Qualified technologists with relevant industrial experience are encouraged to apply.

n the Master of Animation, Games and Interactivity, our students work alongside ACMI X, exhibit their work at the Melbourne International Animation Festival, and have opportunities to collaborate with academic staff, industry practitioners, and RMIT research centres.

You will develop your directorial vision as you learn concepts and techniques of narrative, visual, and interactive media in a studio setting.

This degree builds on more than 20 years of RMIT’s success in postgraduate teaching and research, focusing on the advanced theoretical and practical aspects of professional production in animation, games, and interactive media.

As you acquire skills in these areas, you will develop a directorial vision and in-depth understanding of narrative, visual, and interactive media through studio projects and collaborations that focus on current global trends.

By the end of your studies, you will have completed a number of major studio works in your specialisation, as well as a substantial amount of research.

Are you interested in industrial design? Would you like to create change? This discipline shapes the world we live in.

Industrial designers have the ability to affect change and create powerful solutions that improve both human and environmental health and wellbeing.

Exploring the trans-disciplinary nature of contemporary industrial design. You'll engage in practical learning through our practice-based design studios, co-creating solutions through a human centred approach to product, service and experience design contexts.

For over 70 year’s industrial design at RMIT has offered aspiring designers ground breaking experiences through technical, theoretical and applied immersions into the diverse and dynamic fields of industrial design practice. Working on real-world problems in industry and community contexts, this hands on educational experience culminates in a year-long honours design research project. 

You will develop a design practice through:

• The design of sustainable products, services and systems
• Design as a mechanism for enabling social reform and cultural enrichment
• Commercial and aesthetically-focused approaches to product, transportation and furniture design
• Technologically and materially mediated interactions and experiences
• The possibilities of form, process and material in response to rapid technological advances
• Operating at the intersections of our digital and material worlds
• Using design as a conduit to address social sustainability, cultural awareness and the wellbeing of clients, users and communities

The Master of Cyber Security aims to equip you with the mathematical, technical and business tools to secure an organisation’s information systems.

Secure systems and networks are a vital responsibility for organisations of all sizes and in our increasingly connected world, it is more important than ever. From the latest internet worm to identity theft, danger is no more than a click away.

You will learn about local area network (LAN) security, cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard, RSA, smartcards, biometrics, ethical hacking and information systems risk management.

This degree includes opportunities for cyber security internships with industry organisations, both large and small.

With the Master of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) you’ll develop your knowledge and skills in the analysis, design, implementation and operation of Internet of Things networks, telecommunication systems/devices, and networks architecture, applications and services.

Enhance your professional skills in research by undertaking a major research project in your final year and learn new transferrable skills that you can use in a range of different industries.
You'll study a range of topics including:

• Internet of Things (IoT) networks: gain specialised knowledge in designing, building and operating IoT networks. IoT is a key technology for enabling smarter cities, better transport, connected factories, self-driving cars and smarter agriculture
• Internet applications, management and security: From enterprise networks to cloud computing, will gain indispensable skills in designing, building and operating networks and applications with emphasis on network security. You will master key skills in software-defined networks
• Telecommunications: whether wireless or wired, you will grasp the fundamentals of current wireless technologies, next generation 5G, optical fiber networks and satellite communication systems
• Telecommunication equipment design and development: Gain cutting-edge knowledge in the research and development of antennas and circuits in the RF, microwave and mmWave.

In the Associate Degree in Business, you will study a range of business subjects including marketing, human resources, accountancy and management disciplines.

Blending the academic and the practical, you will explore and understand how the range of subjects work together holistically to enable the effective management of a contemporary business.

In this associate degree, you will be exposed to simulated and real-life business challenges, often working with partner companies on specific group projects. Past partners have included Devondale, Zagame Automotive Group, the Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Tupperware, and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC).
Working individually and in groups, you will develop cooperative skills essential in the workplace. You will also be mentored by teachers with practical workplace experience in senior industry roles to complement your academic learning journey. Your expansive studies in this qualification will allow you to pursue more specialised further study.

Studying business in today's ever-changing, globally-connected and technologically-charged world is an exciting prospect.

Are you a disruptor, a potential entrepreneur who sees opportunity at every turn? Perhaps you are a global citizen, connecting with like minds across the world. Or an innovator; ready to transform business with the latest approaches in cyber, blockchain or digital technologies.
