Develop a nuanced understanding of, and undertake research in writing and publishing culture in both an Australian and a global context with the Master of Writing and Publishing.

The Bowen Street Press operates as a real-world, student-led publishing house, which offers many opportunities for industry engagement and real-world and simulated work practice. The numbers speak for themselves: interns have rated this degree with 100% for overall satisfaction, generic skills and graduate qualities over the last 2 years, as well as over 90% ratings for learner engagement, skills development, teaching quality and overall quality of education.

This degree is designed as a series of connected studios in which you take on specific industry challenges through collaborative and interdisciplinary learning and teaching strategies. Publications in both group and individual scenarios from print through to digital are the focus of the Bowen Street Press. A combination of industry-led research and individual projects in the second year of the degree will ensure a high level of flexibility for students.

Lecturers and academics all have strong industry relationships and experience, and the learning environment simulates professional practice within the writing, editing and publishing industries. The studios comprise an internship day, weekend intensives, weekly face-to-face seminars and student-directed learning.

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.

Our wide-ranging applied physics expertise gives you opportunities to develop specialist knowledge and honed research skills in your chosen area.
Under expert supervision, you will join researchers already active in:

• Advanced characterisation techniques
• Applied geophysics
• Biophysics and biological physics
• Computational modelling of matter
• Condensed matter
• Functional coatings
• Industrial and building acoustics
• industrial and building acoustics
• Molecular transport in biological membranes
• Nano materials and nano fluidics
• Quantum information and quantum optics
• Radiation and medical physics
• Soft matter
• Superconductivity

This master degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode. You will also have access to our modern semiconductor clean rooms.

Many of our research activities are conducted within the Theoretical Chemical and Quantum Physics Research Group.

Use your advanced research skills to contribute to new developments in radiotherapy, diagnostic medical procedures and health physics.

This program is assessed by both a research project and the completion of five courses.

The research project is in medical or health physics, and is examined by thesis.

The coursework is vocationally relevant to radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, radiation protection and health physics, and is available in online mode.

You will complete Research Methods for Sciences in your first semester. Four other courses will be undertaken in subsequent semesters.

The program is accredited by the Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) as an approved postgraduate qualification forming a compulsory component of the requirements to become a certified medical physicist.

Research activities are conducted within related research institutes and groups including the Applied Electromagnetics and Radiation Physics Research Group.

You will use state-of-the-art equipment and facilities including:

• Brachytherapy Afterloader suite
• Gel dosimetry
• Optical Tomography for 3D Dosimeters
• Anthropomorphic Phantoms
• Radiation Instrumentation Laboratory
• X-ray Microbeam Irradiator
• X-ray microCT

You will also have access to partner organisation facilities including Medical Linear Accelerators, CT & MR Imaging and the Australian Synchrotron.

Develop a broad awareness of the global aviation industry, gain experience as you study and become an aviation manager.

RMIT's Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) focuses on the operational, managerial and planning aspects of airlines, airports, and associated industries.

You will gain a comprehensive appreciation of the aviation operating environment, and develop leadership, business, analytical and problem solving skills, enabling you to solve real problems in the aviation workplace. 

Developed with input from key stakeholders in the aviation industry, you will learn from aviation experts and benefit from RMIT's long standing relationships and extensive expertise in aviation education and research.

You will be able to tailor your aviation studies to suit your interests and career goals. Study airline and airport operations, aviation management, aircraft maintenance, human factors, aviation safety and security, and business analytics.

A capstone experience will provide you with hands-on, industry experience so you will graduate job-ready. The aviation industry project will provides you with the opportunity to apply your industry knowledge and undertake a project focusing on a real-world aviation industry problem or issue.

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 Master of Property has been designed to enable you to critically engage with contemporary property theory, apply your knowledge and skills to creatively address industry problems, and to realise business opportunities across the corporate and residential sectors.

Our industry connected degree will develop your skills and knowledge within the domains of:

• Corporate property asset management
