Master of Writing and Publishing

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

There is substantial government and industry investment in space science technology, highlighting the growing gap in skills, both in Australia and internationally.

RMIT's Bachelor of Space Science will develop critical skills in space science and technology, connecting the upstream (build/launch) and downstream (application of space-related products and services) industries.

There is no degree quite like this one in Australia. We lead the way in both space science and engineering research. We provide a unique mix of physics, engineering, geospatial science, mathematics, statistics, and specialised space studies. 

This degree encompasses multiple partnerships with national and international space companies and space agencies. Industry connections include Space Applications Services, Electro Optic Systems, Geoscience Australia and space agencies of countries around the world, such as USA (NASA), Japan, (JAXA), Europe (ESA) and Germany (DLR).

You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities including, the RMIT Optical Telescope, the SPACE Research Centre and the Virtual Experiences Laboratory, and the Space Industry Hub. 

Work integrated learning is an essential part of the degree. You'll be able to undertake a 12-week industry placement so that you can immerse yourself in the world of space. Some of these placements are run through Saber Astronautics, Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO.

RMIT's Bachelor of Science offers you the flexibility and choice to complete a degree tailored to your interests.

With major and minor options that span the breadth of physical and natural sciences and allied disciplines, this science degree is embedded with Industry Partnered Learning and focuses on skills development to support your future science career.

Your science degree begins with a suite of introductory subjects in which you will learn and explore core science concepts across physical, life, data and mathematical science disciplines and develop and strengthen key scientific and transferable skills, providing a transformative learning experience that will underpin your future studies and careers.

You can then choose your areas in which to specialise from a suite of complementary majors and minors across the breadth of sciences, including:

• Biological Sciences
• Biotechnology
• Chemistry
• Food Science and Technology
• Mathematics
• Nutrition Science
• Physics
• Statistics.

These majors can be complemented by an extensive choice of generalist minors within these and additional areas, offering further flexibility or the opportunity for further specialisation.

This degree will stimulate your critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help you to be competitive across all science-led disciplines.

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
