Overview
With a history dating back to 1887, RMIT has evolved into one of Australia's largest dual-sector universities, offering both degree and vocational training programmes. The university has three main campuses in Melbourne, each reputed for its focus on practical, industry-relevant education.
The university has a diverse student body with more than 20,000 international students from over 100 countries enrolled. In total, RMIT offers over 430 programmes across various levels of study, from pre-university to postgraduate levels.
