A message from
the Vice-Chancellor
Professor Alec Cameron
RMIT is an international university of technology, design and enterprise.
Our mission is to empower people and communities to adapt and thrive
across generations, with education, research and civic engagement that
are applied, inclusive and impactful.
Our motto since 1887, ‘a skilled hand, a cultivated mind’ reflects RMIT’s
commitment to improving the lives and futures of people in a fast-changing
society. Applying knowledge with skill, imagination and integrity is at the
core of all our work across education, research and civic engagement.
RMIT’s presence around the world enables our students and staff to
benefit from the exchange of ideas and research across a broad
ecosystem. Three substantial campuses in Melbourne are located in
the City, Brunswick and Bundoora, along with other Victorian locations.
We also have two campuses and a language centre in Vietnam, and a
research and industry collaboration centre in Barcelona, Spain. In addition,
programs are offered through partners in Singapore, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka
and mainland China, with research and industry partnerships on every
continent.
Powered by the insight and ingenuity of our people, RMIT will evolve
and thrive for the decades to come, working with our students and
communities to achieve their goals. I encourage you to take part.
