Bachelor of Media and Communication (Honours)

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

The environment faces threats and challenges that include climate change, habitat loss, overpopulation, emerging contaminant and pollution events, and food and water security.

The breadth of these environmental challenges requires a combination of knowledge and skills in chemistry, biology, statistics, research, and earth sciences for an interdisciplinary approach to surmounting these difficulties.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Environmental Science, you will learn about the biogeochemical processes that occur in both natural and degraded environments, and specialise with areas of study like environmental biology, environmental chemistry, geosciences or geospacial sciences.

Over the course of your environmental studies, you will undertake both practical and industry-relevant activities, where you will:

• Gain considerable hands-on experience with equipment, both in the laboratory and in the field
• Undertake frequent field trips during the second and third year
• Work on collaborative projects with industry, gaining hands-on experience.

These activities involve working in small groups to foster teamwork and a collaborative approach to research and projects.

In the Diploma of Information Technology you will be guided by experienced teachers with extensive industry experience to develop a project portfolio designed to help launch a career in IT.

As part of your study in a world-class university environment, you will learn how to:

• Create a web-based solution for a client
• Develop mobile applications
• Apply project management skills to an IT project.

You will learn how to install, operate and troubleshoot medium enterprise routers and switches, design user experience (UX) solutions, build dynamic websites, design and integrate databases, design, build and test network servers, and more. You will also build professional skills including promoting cyber security awareness and best practice, managing client issues, and originating and developing concepts.

The Bachelor of Design (Animation and Interactive Media) looks at animation in all its forms, from the animated character to motion graphics across linear and interactive environments. Presented in a creative environment, this degree focuses on intellectual investigation and conceptual development.

Upon graduating, you will demonstrate aesthetic and intellectual maturity, as well as strong technical abilities within design, media and art disciplines.
Students and staff enjoy wide national and international acknowledgement, and exhibit in festivals and conferences such as Siggraph, MIAF, LIAF, MILIA and Annecy.

At RMIT, you're learning from the best. Our art, design and animation courses regularly rank in the top 10 internationally, and are considered some of the best in Australia. Many of our teaching staff are practising artists, designers and industry practitioners. They are experienced educators who are actively engaged in research in their areas of expertise. 

Prepare for employment in research-based senior leadership and management positions with a Master of Applied Science (Built Environment).

RMIT's geospatial sciences team is the largest academic group of its kind in Australia.

You will be expertly supervised as you develop your analytical and problem-solving skills through further investigation into one of our key areas:

• Cartography and visualisation
• Geodesy
• GIS and geoinformatics
• Remote sensing and photogrammetry
• Satellite positioning
• Surveying

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

Geospatial sciences candidates may be eligible for a range of scholarships including:

• PhD and Research Masters Scholarships - funded by RMIT University
• other postgraduate research scholarships

Further your research skills and contribute to advancements in computer science.

As a computer science masters by research candidate, you have the flexibility to pursue an individual topic, or contribute to one of our existing research areas.

You will join an active research community and work with academics, peers and partner organisations who have demonstrated research success in a range of specialities, including:

• Data engineering and analytics
• Distributed systems and networking
• Heuristic optimisation
• Information retrieval and web search
• Software engineering

RMIT's success is demonstrated in international university rankings, with computer science at RMIT being placed in the top 200 universities in the Shanghai Jiao Tong rankings and joint sixth in Australia for computer science and information systems in the 2015 QS World University rankings. The Australian Research Council identified our research in Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing and Information Systems as above world standard in the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) reports.

Long associated with cutting edge technology and innovation, the aerospace and aviation industries attract people with advanced engineering knowledge and skills.

The Asian region is a key growth area for the aviation market, with double-digit growth rates in air traffic across China, Hong Kong and Singapore. Massive passenger growth means many more aircraft, larger and more airports, and larger and new airlines. This points to a need for more aerospace engineers, and more aviation-related employees.

During your study in the Master of Engineering (Aerospace), you'll learn how to analyse complex engineering assets in the aerospace and aviation environment; and you will develop engineering, scientific and technological solutions to ensure problem-free operations. Your skills will be further sharpened with systematic problem-solving and adherence to engineering/technological systems design methodologies operating in the industry.

This combination of an accredited psychology major with an applied criminology major prepares you for a variety of roles where dealing with people is paramount.

Have you ever wondered why people engage in offending behaviour? In the Bachelor of Criminology and Psychology, you will develop an understanding of the psychology of crime, be able to conduct forensic interviews and provide case management for offenders, victims and clients with complex needs.
You’ll learn key communication, risk assessment, behavioural analysis and research skills and gain a strong understanding of psychological theories and practice.

On completion of the degree you will have developed the emotional and intellectual resources required for a challenging but rewarding career in the justice and human services fields.

Designed to build on your existing knowledge, the Diploma of Business is tailored to ensure relevance to contemporary work environments.

It will cover personal and team effectiveness, communication with customers, business continuity for sustainability and risk, and business success through planning.

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.
