RMIT is an international university of technology, committed to providing students with the learning, teaching, research and training to excel in an open world economy — a Global Passport. RMIT has links with over 110 partner organisations worldwide, including other leading universities, companies and community groups. International mobility experiences (such as study tours, exchange and study abroad programmes) are an exciting, challenging way for RMIT students to broaden their academic, personal and professional skills.

Dual sector advantage

As a dual sector institution (TAFE and higher education), RMIT can offer students a diverse range of options. RMIT runs programmes called dual awards, which make use of the interplay between TAFE and higher education studies.

Graduate employability

RMIT’s programmes have a strong professional and vocational orientation, and aim to prepare graduates for employment and active citizenship. Developed in consultation with industry, many courses integrate work experience with learning, ensuring RMIT maintains its reputation for producing some of Australia’s
most employable graduates.

Industry experience

The RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Programme (RIIERP) gives students the chance to undertake training and research programmes with companies outside Australia. It exposes students to some of the world’s best practice companies and the work ethic of different cultural environments. It also gives RMIT valuable feedback on how the academic and research expertise of our students compares internationally. Firms such as MTAerospace, Fujitsu-Siemens, Volkswagen, Airbus and Bentley Motors are strong supporters of
the programme.

International reputation

RMIT is a member of the Australian Technology Network (ATN), an influential alliance of five distinctive and prominent universities of technology that share a heritage of working with industry.
