The RMIT School of Design is a recognised as an international leader in education, research and practice.

It is industry connected, socially grounded, and focused on the future practices of design.

At RMIT we contend that research is conducted through designing as a means of increasing knowledge, and that this process parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.

Research candidates are supported and engaged in communities of design practice that share interests, discourses, and ways of doing things.

Upon completion of this program, you will have:

• Knowledge and understanding of one or more disciplines
• Advanced knowledge of research methods relevant to your field
• Theoretical knowledge and ability to reflect on critical theory.

You will also develop cognitive, technical and creative skills to:

• Investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems and theories
• Apply established theories to different practice or bodies of knowledge
• Generate and evaluate ideas and concepts
• Use and evaluate research and research methods
• Present coherent and sustained arguments, disseminating research results to different audiences
• Design, evaluate, implement, analyse, theorise and disseminate research that contributes to knowledge and practice.

As a graduate, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge and skills:

• With creativity and initiative in new situations
• With high-level autonomy and accountability
• To plan and complete substantial research.
• The Master of Design may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode, a decision made in consultation with your supervisor.

At RMIT we contend that research is conducted through designing and that the process of designing, as a means of increasing knowledge, parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.

Research candidates are supported and engaged in communities of design practice where learning is fundamentally a social phenomenon; where knowledge is integrated in the life of these communities that share interests, discourses and ways of doing things.

The Master of Design may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode. This decision is made in consultation with your supervisor.

On completion of this program you will have:

• A body of knowledge that includes the understanding of recent developments in 1 or more disciplines
• Advanced knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to the field of work or learning
• Cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and to reflect critically on theory and its application
• Cognitive, technical and creative skills to:
• Investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories and to apply established theories to different bodies of knowledge or practice
• Generate and evaluate complex ideas and concepts at an abstract level
• Use and evaluate research and research methods.
• Communication and technical skills to present coherent and sustained argument and to disseminate research results to specialist and non-specialist audiences
• Technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse, theorise and disseminate research that makes a contribution to knowledge and/or professional practice.

As a graduate you will demonstrate the application of these knowledge and skills:

• With creativity and initiative to new situations and/or for further learning
• With high-level personal autonomy and accountability
• To plan and execute a substantial piece of research.

In the new world of finance, there is strong demand for highly skilled, analytical thinkers who have a proven ability to innovate.

The quantitatively oriented Master of Finance provides both depth and breadth in finance. Designed to enhance your analytical and problem-solving abilities and develop your understanding of the principles of finance, it explores finance, financial modelling, econometrics, trading, research and the analysis of financial markets.

Using real-time market data, you’ll participate in trading simulations and workshops for multi-asset portfolio and risk analysis, hedging, and money market and foreign exchange instruments trading, all in purpose-built facilities in the heart of Melbourne.

This transformative approach prepares you for life and work.

Are you ready to take advantage of the huge opportunities for content creators and digital professionals?

You can work in user experience design, art direction, animation and emerging fields of virtual and augmented reality.

The Diploma of Screen and Media (Animation, Gaming and Visual Effects)  provides you with the skills you need to become a creative and capable digital professional.

As an industry-driven course, the Diploma of Screen and Media (Animation, Gaming and Visual Effects) is ideal for students who want to establish a professional animation, gaming and visual effects career in the film, television, online entertainment or gaming industry. You will undertake fundamental units in design, interactivity, 2D and 3D imaging and animation, and media production (video and audio). With a focus on creativity, design thinking and conceptual development, this course will give you an understanding of the fundamental design, technical and management skills required to work in these growing fields.

The Master of Interior Design will provide you with an opportunity to position yourself in relation to current interior design practice through collaboration with clients, industry and a network of peers.

With an emphasis on ideas and a design-led approach to research and experimentation, the knowledge and skills you develop in this course will enable you to work in a range of practices, and to engage interior design as an agent of social and cultural change.

Graduates of this course will be highly effective team contributors with strong communication and technical skills. You will learn how to be a valuable contributor through the process of developing a collective response to real industry briefs. You will engage with clients (encompassing commercial, institutional, civic and social organisations) and industry practice partners (interior design and associated design practices) together with the student cohort on live projects and challenges.

With a strong focus on design challenges affecting the broader Australasian region, you will also have opportunities to undertake global intensives to locations within Asia.

The Master of Design (Fashion and Textiles) by Research program enables you to develop an advanced body of knowledge that you may apply to a range of stimulating, real-life research contexts.

Individually supervised research programs are aligned to one of the School’s Centre for Materials Innovation and Future Fashion or the School’s research streams.

These research areas reflect the School’s research supervisors’ expertise along with the available resources and collaborative relationships with industry and other research organisations.

The Master of Design may be undertaken by project or by thesis mode:

• The project mode is directed towards candidates taking a creative practice-led approach to conduct research into fashion design, textile design, curatorial practice, communication, or interdisciplinary design.
• The thesis mode is directed towards candidates taking a social science approach to conduct research into an aspect of the fashion and textiles system such as design practice, curatorial practice, historical or contemporary cultural studies, enterprise or ethical practice.

This decision is made in consultation with your supervisor. You should discuss these program modes with your potential supervisor/s prior to your application.

Advance your skills so you can design and work with the fast-moving technologies of the automotive industry.
