• Assess the environmental impact of engineering projects
• Develop remediation measures for environmental degradation
• Deliver sustainable solutions through engineering processes.

Elective subjects such as the Humanitarian Experiential Learning Project will provide you with the opportunity to gain a global perspective of the world’s environmental challenges and the role environmental engineers can play in solving them.

Graduate from this degree with the skills and knowledge to conserve water resources, supply safe drinking water in challenging contexts, undertake rehabilitation of contaminated land and groundwater, design systems to sustainably manage wastes and reduce the environmental footprint in urban and rural communities and prepare environmental impact studies for major infrastructure projects.

Work integrated learning opportunities will provide you with real-world experiene and industry connections. You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, and take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.

In this program you will develop advanced skills in order to critically analyse information, synthesise knowledge, and communicate your research findings effectively for a variety of career settings.

This master degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.
You can specialise in:

• Business ethics
• Modelling
• Strategy and leadership
• Crganisational change
• Innovation
• Computer law
• Entrepreneurship
• Corporate governance
• Corporate regulation
• Corporation law
• Computer and privacy law
• Commercial law
• Tax law.

Acquire extensive knowledge in the fields of electronic, computer systems, communication and network engineering with the ability to manage teams of technical and professional staff.

RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Business will prepare you to become an engineering manager.

You will graduate from this degree ready to move into an engineering management role either relatively early in your career or after a period of experience as a professional engineer, rather than having to undertake further study.

The engineering degree will develop knowledge and skills that will enable you to find better solutions to challenges in the design, construction and maintenance of electronic hardware, embedded systems, firmware development, communication and network systems.

This could include the automation of electrical and electronic systems; audio and visual information acquisition, digital signal processing; human-machine interaction, industrial or medical instrumentation and monitoring; reconfigurable logic development; distributed computing and provision of security for computer systems and networks.

You will also learn to design and build devices and systems that transfer and store information via radio frequency or optical fibre transmissions, and manage and secure the flow of information through such systems.  

The degree in business will develop your skills in the field of business management. The business degree is flexible, allowing you to develop generalist business knowledge or undertake more focused studies through a choice of majors, minors and cross-disciplinary study options.

With the Master of Public Policy you will learn how you can contribute to positive policy outcomes, and participate in debates regarding power, politics, and complexity.

Taught by leading policy academics and industry professionals, the course reflects the latest debates, issues, and approaches to global, national, and local policy making and development.
You'll explore and develop frameworks for issues, such as:

• Evidence-based policy and practice
• Global governance
• Equity
• Public sector reform

Graduates work as policymakers, advocates, and managers in human service, government, and non-government organisations, and, increasingly, in the private and corporate sectors.

Blend specialist skills in mechanical engineering with practical expertise in business management, advancing your career.

The RMIT Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Business double degree will prepare you for entrepreneurial and managerial roles in a range of industries. 

Many engineers quickly move into positions of management within organisations. This degree will give you an advantage, allowing you to advance into positions of responsibility and influence early in your career.

The industry-accredited mechanical engineering degree will enable you to play a pivotal role in planning, implementing and managing mechanical engineering projects and developments in a wide range of industries and organisations. Explore subjects including mechatronics, mechanics, automotive engineering, renewable energy, fluid dynamics, and computer aided design.

The flexible business degree will prepare you to operate in complex organisational and economic systems, often associated with large engineering projects. With a range of industry-relevant subjects to choose from, you have the opportunity to tailor the degree to your interests and career goals. Subjects include, finance, economics, international business and entrepreneurship. 

Work integrated learning is embedded in this degree. You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge, and undertake work placements in Australia and overseas, boosting career opportunities and building a global network. 

The Graduate Diploma in Journalism is designed to enhance your undergraduate qualification with focused study in journalism. This one-year diploma sets you up for a career as a journalist by allowing you to explore all forms of contemporary journalism and put modern practice into its legal, ethical and social context. 

As part of the curriculum, you will present and produce live radio news for community radio station RRR and our live-to-air television news program, Newsline, as well as create text and data reports for our publication The City Journal.

You will work individually with our work placement coordinator to find at least one internship as part of your study.

Upon completing this diploma, you will have developed the skills and knowledge necessary for an entry-level position in journalism and in doing so follow in the footsteps of many of Australia’s award-winning journalists.

Acknowledged by the national and international architectural profession, the Bachelor of Architectural Design is designed to help you develop a rich understanding of architecture, and build a diverse set of skills that will carry you through your career.

Learn in an environment that is similar to a cutting-edge architectural design firm. Through your core and elective subjects, you'll have the opportunity to focus on your drawing, 2D and 3D design skills, and will be surrounded by like-minded creatives. You'll combine both experimental and speculative design with practical projects, and engage with real-life industry projects to expand your knowledge and help you discover innovative approaches to problem solving.

Learning from internationally-recognised and award-winning architects alongside visiting national and international experts, consultants and specialists, you will explore the core skills required of an architect and architectural designer. As a student, you will be immersed in new ideas and perspectives that will develop your design and communication skills.

Biomedical science courses allow you to understand how the human body functions, and the responses of the body to various diseases, exercise, diet, internal disturbances, and environmental influences.

You’ll learn how techniques in molecular biology and genetics are applied to diagnosing genes that cause cancer, making crops and livestock less vulnerable to disease, and making food safer.

You’ll complete studies in cell biology, physiology, microbiology and molecular biology. You can also choose to study anatomy, neuroscience, cardiovascular biology, industrial microbiology, proteomics, pharmaceutical sciences and applied biochemistry.
