A degree in international studies will guide you toward a multitude of careers across the globe. If you’re passionate about international affairs and cultural diversity, this course will help prepare you for a versatile and imaginative future.

During your studies, you will build a strong understanding of intercultural, social and political issues and how to address them. You have the opportunity to select a specialisation stream, with three to choose from:

Languages
Develop communication skills that go beyond multilingualism, explore the nature and politics of language, and grow a stronger appreciation for cultures and communities.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) refers to the application of scientific principles to understand the risks to the safety and health of people in workplaces and to take action to control these.

Occupational health and safety is a multidisciplinary profession examining the technical and social aspects of work with applications in most industries and commerce.

The course focuses on the science and technology of risk management through assessment and evaluation of hazards and development of specific control mechanisms.

Learn how to apply a risk management model to hazards in the workplace, allowing you to recognise the context, evaluate the risk, and generate control solutions. You will use the model of OHS Professional Practice for problem solving which involves gathering information about the issue, diagnosing the issue, developing and implementing appropriate interventions, and evaluating their effectiveness, all the while communicating with relevant stakeholders.
You will develop advanced knowledge in:

• The global concepts of health, safety and work, and the implications that these have in organisations
• The socio-political and organisational context in which work occurs and how this impacts work design and its effects on the workers
• The physical, ergonomic and psychosocial causes of fatalities, injuries and ill health arising from work
• Recognition of hazards, assessment and evaluation of their risk, and development of suitable controls

You will learn to apply these concepts in a range of contexts, allowing you to develop confidence and proficiency in your professional OHS and occupational hygiene practice. Many of your assessments will incorporate Work Integrated Learning (WIL) by focusing on OHS issues in your work situation.

Gain the technical knowledge to work in the food industry, as well as the skills to design and promote innovative food products.

RMIT's Bachelor of Food Technology and Nutrition / Bachelor of Business double degree will provide you with the scientific knowledge essential for advancing technological capabilities, plus the international business, economic and financial know-how with a global perspective.

The food science degree will enable you to develop novel, healthy and functional food products that meet consumer demands and comply with strict safety and health guidelines. It will also equip you with the skills to improve the quality of manufactured food supply, creating safe and nutritious foods that have a long shelf life.

The business degee will enable you to provide business skills to large-scale food processing companies with a global operational focus to make Australian manufacturing more competitive.

With an extensive range of majors and minors to choose from, you can personalise your degree, developing specialist skills in your area of interest. Areas of study include food technology, nutrition, marketing, global business, finance, economics and entrepreneurship.

Project based learning and work integrated learning is a key feature of this degree, enabling you you to gain real world experience and industry connections while you study. 

Learn to be a leader in the classroom, using the latest educational technologies to support your teaching practice.

In the Master of Teaching Practice (Primary Education) you’ll combine hands-on experiences with theoretical learning. Studying in the heart of Melbourne and in local classroom settings, this degree is designed to help you build the skills you need to be an effective and influential teacher, showing you how to provide a positive impact on the lives of primary school children.

As the pace of change accelerates, demand for trained professionals in the manufacturing industry is growing.

In this degree, you will learn to strategically apply new technologies and modes of manufacturing to help streamline operations and innovate.

Within the manufacturing industry, factory systems are evolving to meet customers’ changing expectations and keep pace with global competition. These changes impact everything and everyone, from the factory floor to the boardroom, and there’s a growing need for experts with knowledge of the latest technological and operational strategies.

The Master of Engineering (Manufacturing) explores sustainable engineering, Industry 4.0 technologies and biomedical manufacturing, and more.

Studying in the heart of Melbourne, you will build essential skills in project management, conduct research, and have the option to hone your engineering knowledge in a range of specialised elective subjects.

This research degree supports your engagement in communities of practice where learning is fundamentally a social phenomenon.
