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.

Work closely on your writing in an intensive studio model with world-leading lecturers and creative practitioners, improving your writing and solving problems from industry.

This degree is designed to make you confident, skilled and adaptable in today’s creative industries - where writing and editing are essential skills, and so are creativity, communication, and critical thinking.

Along with leading genres like fiction, screen and digital writing, you’ll become an adaptable writer by learning the skills to adjust to a constantly changing industry, spending deep time with your creative work, trying experiments, and gaining new knowledge. A flair for creative expression will be complemented by proficiency in the business of writing, allowing you to understand the publishing process and learn the skills required to become a freelance writer, collaborator or creative entrepreneur, across multiple media platforms.

With a strong emphasis on industry connections, you will develop a large network of relationships throughout the degree, maximising your opportunities to gain employment upon graduation and building a potentially lifelong network of creative peers.

As a graduate of this degree, you can expect to work in a variety of roles, as writers, editors, publishers, screenwriters, screen producers, digital and mobile media creators, and producers of events like writers’ festivals.

The Diploma of Commerce is unlike any other one-year Diploma. It covers the fundamentals of business disciplines at an undergraduate level.

Through your studies in this diploma, you will explore key business subject areas, including accounting, management, information systems, business law, and marketing.

You will connect with high profile brands and get real-world work experience through industry placements, client projects, guest speakers, seminars and events in a friendly and social environment, led by industry-experienced teaching staff.

Develop the cutting-edge industry knowledge and skills that are essential for employment as a competent software developer with the potential to move into a leadership role.

RMIT's Bachelor of Software Engineering will equip you with a solid foundation in computer science and maths, and develop deep expertise in software architecture, processes, methodologies and quality frameworks. 

The four-year degree, comprises of two years of study, followed by a one-year industry placement before the final year of study. The work placement provides a unique opportunity to develop your professional and technical skills while creating and extending your professional network.

Working within complex software development environments, operating systems, communications, web software, databases and applications, you'll undertake studies in all facets of the software engineering process.

This degree focuses on the software development life cycle but goes beyond programming to assess and meet customer needs, and to design and test software. It covers studies on software analysis and design, coding, testing and deployment.

Developing software solutions often involves assembling extensive amounts of code into working applications, and updating and fixing problems in existing software.

Choose a software engineering degree if you:

• Want to develop large-scale software systems
• Want to create highly efficient products and systems
• Enjoy maths and systems design combined with computer science.

A degree in international studies will guide you toward a multitude of careers across the globe. If you’re passionate about international affairs and cultural diversity, this course will help prepare you for a versatile and imaginative future.

During your studies, you will build a strong understanding of intercultural, social and political issues and how to address them.

Development
Explore international systems and global processes, learn how to negotiate cross-culturally, and delve into strategic and ethical leadership.

Develop your advanced research skills and contribute to new developments in applied chemistry.

RMIT's modern, purpose-built and well-equipped facilities, including analytical instruments, will support your research.
Under expert supervision, you will join researchers already active in:

• Analytical chemistry (metabolomics, natural products extraction and identification), separation science (focus on gas and liquid chromatography), flow injection analysis and mass spectrometry)
• Environmental analysis (air, soil and water quality, environmental contamination, biosolids, environmental toxicology)
• Occupational health and safety (open systems research, management and governance, risk management)
• Physical and materials chemistry (organic and inorganic synthesis, colloidal chemistry, functional surfaces, micro- and nano-technologies, nano-biotechnology, electrochemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis).
• This masters degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.
• RMIT's primary research activities are conducted within the Centre for Advanced Materials and Industrial Chemistry.

The School of Science's researchers have a demonstrated record of success in collaborations, funding and research publications.
You will work with researchers who are past and present winners of ARC Future Fellowships and DECRA’s, the AGR Matthey Gold medal for outstanding contribution in the field of applied gold chemistry, the RK Murphy Medal for Industrial Chemistry, the Silver Jubilee Medal of the Chromatographic Society, London, the CLRI Padmabhushan Dr Y Nayudamma Chemcon Distinguished Speaker Award (awarded by the Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers).

The majority of research staff are Members and Fellows of professional societies including: the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), UK, and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).

In the 2015 Excellence in Research for Australia assessments we were ranked at ‘well above world standard’ for physical chemistry and ‘above world standard’ for analytical chemistry.

This degree prepares you to be a locally- and internationally-aware communication designer capable of working across a range of domains and industries, including graphic design, advertising, branding and illustration consultancies, as well as design and communication units within corporate, government and non-government organisations.

You’ll learn skills alongside a strong selection peers in studio-based facilities. Throughout the degree, you will develop skills in negotiating a consensus among participants with a range of interests in the design outcome. You will also learn how a visual strategy can contribute to all phases of the problem-solving process.

Gain the knowledge and skills essential for a career in the electronic, computer systems, communication and network engineering industries.

RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) will enable you to find better solutions to challenges in the design, construction and maintenance of embedded systems, firmware development, electronic hardware, communication and network systems.

This could include the automation of electrical and electronic systems; audio and visual information acquisition, digital signal processing; human-machine interaction, industrial or medical instrumentation and monitoring; reconfigurable logic development; distributed computing and provision of security for computer systems and networks.

You will learn to design and build devices and systems that transfer and store information via radio frequency or optical fibre transmissions, and manage and secure the flow of information through such systems.
