Master of Biotechnology

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

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

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. Then again, maybe you are more focused on creating social impact, or ensuring sustainability goals are set and met in industry. With so many outcomes from your business studies, the only thing you need to find is your path.

This honours degree offers you the opportunity to advance your design process, develop independent practice, and deepen your specialisation in textile design industries.

You will research and examine your design practice within the context of critical, engaged and contemporary textiles systems, and related disciplines. 

This degree is designed as part of the Advanced Fashion and Textiles Design Studios, where you will be immersed in creatively challenging and engaging contemporary practice.

As a graduate, you will be able to demonstrate design strategies that reflect contemporary practice, emerging markets and economies, and materially-led design across and outside the textile and fashion design discipline. This advanced knowledge will deepen your portfolio, and set you up for professional design and design-related roles in industry. 

The degree structure utilises research-enabled subjects and strategies to tap into emergent discipline areas, and offers specific pathways through a project-led model and independently-designed projects in specific industry contexts.

The Graduate Diploma in Property has been designed to help you develop the specialised knowledge and skills required to practice as a property advisor or manager.

The flexible structure of this curriculum includes combination of face-to-face and online delivery modes that suit working professionals. Through your studies, you will address the industry need for property specialists with a particular focus on corporate real estate, development and management.

Through this diploma, you will learn to apply knowledge of property theory and concepts to the local and global professional arena, demonstrating evidenced-based judgement and ethical decision-making. You'll develop specialist skills in problem evaluation, and learn to determine property value and return for diverse asset classes and projects.

Your classes will develop the ability to respond to emerging trends and organisational needs across the sector, and you will learn to analyse property data and information from diverse sources, think critically, conduct research, and apply investment and valuation techniques. Finally, you will develop communication and technical skills that will allow you to communicate property development proposals, financial and valuation analyses and strategy to stakeholders.

Upon completion of this diploma, you will be able to engage with economic, legal and environmental policy frameworks to inform developed solutions, decision making and problem solving. As a graduate of this diploma, you will possess the essential knowledge and skills to act as an industry professional in a range of settings.

In the Master of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), you will explore the application of scientific principles to understand risks to the safety of people in workplaces, and the actions required to control them.

It is a multidisciplinary profession with applications in all industries and commerce. 
Both community expectation and government legislation demand an increasingly higher level of protection for employees and the community from risks that threaten their safety and health. As such, there is also an increasing demand in society for professionals with experience and qualifications in OHS.

You will also have the opportunity to pursue a research stream, allowing you to deepen your knowledge and distinguish yourself from the competition in the market. It will also support your career progression to senior management or consultancy roles.
