Learning at RMIT
Learning at RMIT is practical, hands-on and grounded in preparing you to solve real-world problems.
With a focus on collaboration, the learning experience at RMIT will predominantly be delivered through face-to-face classes. Relevant learning materials and content will be available online and can be accessed prior to and in-between classes via Canvas, our digital learning platform.
During classes, you'll deepen your knowledge by connecting with expert teachers and undertaking projects and assessments that are both independent and collaborative. Assessments at RMIT are focused on being authentic, practical and relevant to your future work so that you can graduate work-ready. There will be no face-to-face exams, unless there is a professional accreditation requirement in your program.
You'll also gain a range of opportunities beyond the classroom, which may include global and industry experiences. Industry experiences will be a key part of your learning and may be in the form of presentations and panels with industry experts, real-world client briefs, simulated workplace experiences in the classroom and more.
The types of classes you have will depend on the course and subjects you’re studying. Classes are offered in various formats that allow you to interact with teachers, industry professionals and other students, as well as make use of RMIT's specialised learning spaces and equipment.
Most RMIT courses do not* include passive large-scale classes such as lectures. Instead, content that has traditionally been provided in lectures is available online and can be accessed via Canvas. This content may be in the form of readings, videos or other on-demand learning materials and will support the basis of interactive learning that takes place in on-campus classes.
*Note, some of these classes remain for Semester 2, 2023 but will not be available from 2024 onwards.
With a range of postgraduate, undergraduate and vocational courses, it’s easy to find the course for you.
