Master of Global Studies

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

Study in the heart of Melbourne, the exciting music capital of Australia and home to thriving local scenes, buskers, bars, clubs, theatres and festivals. You will learn about key music technologies, global music cultures, popular music scenes, music business practice and live music performance.

The Bachelor of Arts (Music Industry) is a one-of-a-kind degree that is renowned for its blend of project-based work and academic study. You’ll have opportunities to pursue your own interests, such as creative music-making with Ableton Live, in addition to developing your critical thinking and problem solving skills. In your final year of study, you’ll undertake an internship at a music industry organisation that suits your career aspirations, giving you work experience before you graduate.

Gain the skills you need to become a technician in laboratories in hospitals, research institutes, pharmaceutical companies, private pathology and testing laboratories.

In the Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques, you will be taught to apply your knowledge of living systems to solving important practical issues including controlling disease and making the environment safer.
Using the latest industry-standard equipment, you’ll build the knowledge and skills required to work under supervision to:

• Examine micro-organisms or changes in cells and tissues
• Perform analysis of pathology, environmental and chemical samples
• Assist with research into biochemical or genetic processes.

You will also benefit from the opportunity to gain hands-on experience. Upon completion of this certificate, you may go on to work in vaccine production, food and materials testing, pathology, or research. Alternatively, you might prefer to pursue the Diploma of Laboratory Technology, or other further study of your choice.

Gain expertise in both the hardware and structure of computer systems, and the software used to control them.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science, you’ll acquire extensive knowledge of computer system architecture, software design and the necessary skills required for developing embedded hardware and network-based computer systems.

The computer science degree will develop a skill set that spans from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in computing. You will gain deep knowledge of systems infrastructure, software methods and technologies, and application technologies.

The computer and network engineering degree will develop your skills in the field of embedded systems or smart devices, as well as provide you with expertise in large scale network design and the implementation of digital communication networks that are vital for many big businesses. 

This double degree will also allow you to focus your skills on a range of topics, covering the Internet of Things (loT), software engineering, artificial Intelligence, sensor networks, high-performance parallel processing, real-time embedded systems, signal processing, programming and software development.

Work integrated learning is embedded in the computer science and engineering degree, enabling you to gain practical experience and employability skills.

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 - a humanitarian-focused subject offered in all RMIT engineering degrees, undertake industry placements in Australia or overseas, and learn programming in our innovative Bootcamp2Studio model.

With RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours), you'll design aircraft and spacecraft, develop propulsion systems, research new materials, test new engines, develop rockets and plan maintenance subjects.

In this internationally recognised degree you'll gain specialist skills in analysing, designing, and operating sophisticated aeronautics and astronautics hardware and software.

You'll study a broad range of areas such as aerodynamics, aerospace materials and structures, aerospace systems, design, dynamics and control, thermodynamics, and propulsion.

Minor options in Aircraft and Spacecraft Technologies will allow you to tailor the degree to suit your areas of interest and enhance your career opportunities.

Sustainability issues are built into multiple areas of the aerospace engineering degree. This increases your employability as there is increasing demand for long-term engineering solutions in this industry. You'll also learn to appreciate the wider social implications of the engineering profession.

You'll have the opportunity to apply your learning in the real world through capstone projects, industry placements, and participation in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.

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 Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) / Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) combines two highly respected degrees to give you a unique, broad grounding across both areas.

This degree will increase your knowledge and understanding of human development, and how such factors interact within individual, group, organisational, community and policy contexts. You will be prepared to think critically about the social world and to influence change through your practice, advocacy, or research. Social workers and psychologists often work side-by-side in organisations where a balancing act of expertise in both areas is required.

You will be prepared for employment in general social work practice and settings requiring an understanding of psychology. You will be equipped to apply interdisciplinary knowledge to address complex social problems.

This social work and psychology double degree combines the Bachelor of Social Work (Honours) and the Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology).
