The Bachelor of Arts (Photography) (Honours) is designed for students who have successfully completed a three-year degree in photography, and who wish to undertake a further year of study to focus exclusively on an individual project.

The degree will also appeal to commercial photographers, photographers with commissioned practices (such as advertising, editorial or fashion photographers), photojournalists, socially-engaged practitioners, artists, designers, and other creative industry professionals seeking a more advanced studio practice in photography.

This in-depth master's degree provides current or aspiring managers with high-level expertise in planning, directing, implementing, and monitoring an organisation's marketing efforts.

Through the Master of Marketing, you will understand the role of marketing and its relationship with other important functional areas in management to get an all-of-business view, and develop appropriate marketing tactics and strategies.

You will learn how to design and undertake marketing management planning, identify and improve your strategic marketing thinking, and develop a breadth of knowledge by exploring a number of key marketing areas, such as marketing management, consumer behaviour, marketing communication and marketing research.

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.

Lead blockchain transformation in the new digital economy. It is reshaping the industrial, employment and social landscape globally. The adoption of digital interaction and ways of doing business has massively increased in recent years.

Labour market reports show that there has been more than 200% year-on-year job growth in this field since 2015, approximately half of which is for people with the skills to understand and communicate its value proposition, and lead change in the economic, financial, accounting, legal, ethical, business IT and strategic management dimensions of blockchain in all types of industries.

The rollout of the digital economy is now a worldwide economic imperative, and The Master of Blockchain Enabled Business has been designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to lead at the frontier of the emerging new digital economy.

RMIT is a global frontrunner in this space, with its world-leading Blockchain Innovation Hub helping to set the national and global agenda for enterprise transformation. The Master of Blockchain Enabled Business is a world first, truly multi-disciplinary applied degree that will prepare you to lead in a globalised, international context in a range of in-demand roles and sectors.

Mechanical engineering involves the planning, design and development of machinery, solving problems and improving the machines used in everyday life.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) (Honours) will provide you with the skills to become a professional and highly employable mechanical engineer, within a national and international context.

In the first two years of this internationally accredited degree, you’ll learn the fundamentals of engineering sciences, mathematics, engineering design, and engineering professional practice.

As you progress, you'll customise your degree by focusing your studies in the general field of mechanical engineering or other areas such as manufacturing, automotive, business, mathematics or computing.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge – a humanitarian-focused subject offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
