The industry-accredited mechanical engineering degree will enable you to play a pivotal role in planning, implementing and managing mechanical engineering projects and developments in a wide range of industries and organisations. Explore subjects including mechatronics, mechanics, automotive engineering, renewable energy, fluid dynamics, and computer aided design.

The flexible business degree will prepare you to operate in complex organisational and economic systems, often associated with large engineering projects. With a range of industry-relevant subjects to choose from, you have the opportunity to tailor the degree to your interests and career goals. Subjects include, finance, economics, international business and entrepreneurship. 

Work integrated learning is embedded in this degree. 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, and undertake work placements in Australia and overseas, boosting career opportunities and building a global network. 

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.

Are you ready for an exciting career that lets you design, build and implement smart mechatronic systems which can be deployed within a wide range of engineering companies?

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics) (Honours) degree, you’ll learn about mechatronics, robotics, advanced materials, automated systems and the simulation and modelling of manufacturing processes.

As automation replaces people in various industry sectors, engineers with experience in robotics and mechatronics will be highly sought after.

This professionally accredited degree will prepare you to work in a wide range of industries and as a graduate, you'll demonstrate skills across mathematics, engineering, mechatronics, design and creativity. You'll also be able to communicate your ideas to others and continue to learn as a professional engineer.

Your studies will include areas such as electrical and electronic system design, machine intelligence and robotics, computer programming and advanced materials. The emphasis is placed on the need to view a manufacturing system as being made up of people, machines and information. 

A feature of this degree is the access you'll have to state-of-the-art facilities, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct which combines RMIT's expertise in technology and design innovation.

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 - a humanitarian-focused subject offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

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:
