ENGAGE

In embarking on your journey from

being a new student to becoming
a graduate who is ready for the
workforce, it can be helpful to think
about your time at RMIT in the
following three stages:
Academic In the early semesters, core courses are
activities designed with two themes: industry
exposure and simulation.These equip you
with an overview of the industry and help
you to explore your abilities for a suitable
career path.
In the middle semesters, industry
engagement is the main theme in specialised
courses. You will engage with real clients and
manage projects to address current business
challenges.
Having already developed your knowledge and
skills, capstone projects allow you to put
everything into practice. Before graduating,
taking part in the Flagship Internship
program is a great way to get a taste of the
work environment.

specialisations at RMIT in Vietnam or from the 13 specialisations on offer at RMIT in Melbourne.

Engineering graduates receive an Honours degree. An Honours degree provides a distinctive

competitive advantage in the international job market. Honours is a pathway to higher research
degrees and is located at Level 8 of the Australian Qualifications Framework.
