They are where we forge our understanding of ourselves and the world around us – and our place in a forward-looking nation. Our universities educated more Australian students than ever before in 2019 – over one million Australian and 450,00 international students. Almost 340,000 students graduated that same year. Our universities offer courses in natural and physical sciences, information technology, engineering, architecture and building, agriculture and environmental studies, health, education, management and commerce, society and culture, creative arts and food hospitality and personal services. Universities are constantly adding new disciplines of study that reflect changes in industry, society and workplaces. Through them, they seek to prepare students for jobs that do not yet exist. Australia relies on our world-class university research to find solutions to the biggest challenges and to grasp the most promising opportunities. University expertise, ingenuity and innovation help to develop new industries and new jobs that will shape Australia’s future. Through collaborations with business, university researchers help them solve their toughest problems and bring their ideas to fruition. Through this research, education and community engagement, universities improve the lives of individuals, families, communities, and the nation. Thirty-nine outstanding universities are members of Universities Australia and this, the 2021 edition of University Profiles, is your guide to all of them.

  • RMIT University Student Union PO Box 12387 Franklin Street Melbourne VIC 3000
    RMIT University Student Union PO Box 12387 Franklin Street Melbourne VIC 3000 24/07/2020 Martin Bean CBE Vice-Chancellor RMIT University GPO Box 2476 Melbourne VIC 3001 Dear Vice-Chancellor, With the support of the National Union of Students, I am writing to call for a 20% tuition fee reduction for students impacted by the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. While I applaud RMIT’s creation of a hardship fund to support students, an overwhelming number of students continue to contact me stressing the need for tuition fee reductions in addition to hardship support. As a result of the transition to online learning, and the pressures due to COVID-19, students are concerned that they are no longer able to receive the full suite of face-to-face tuition, practical, lab and studio classes that they envisaged for their studies. Students now have a wealth of online learning options available to them, in many cases at a lower cost than RMIT full fees. I was saddened to hear that some students are considering leaving RMIT to take up other study options as a result of COVID-19. I would love to see RMIT continue as a diverse and vibrant learning community of choice for all students. I am also aware that the financial pressures caused by COVID-19 are creating difficulties for some students who may be unable to pay their tuition fees by the usual deadlines. Accordingly, RUSU is calling on RMIT to act swiftly to: ñ provide a 20% fee reduction in line with calls from the National Union of Students, before the census date for semester 2, 2020 ñ implement fairer fee structures for students impacted by the transition to online learning ñ provide additional options for students who need to withdraw or who are struggling to pay their fees due to the pandemic I urge you to communicate publicly with all students to provide a further explanation of RMIT’s position in response to these concerns as soon as possible and prior to the census date.

  • Rmit University Student Union: Third Quarter Report Reporting Period: 1 July – 30 September 2016 President's Report
    rmit university student union: third quarter report reporting period: 1 july – 30 september 2016 president's report Ariel ZOHAR he third quarter was a busy one for the RMIT University Student T Union, with September hosting the annual student council elections, a variety of important campaigns, and of course numerous events across all three Melbourne campuses. With new tickets running and more than 3000 votes cast, the 2016 RUSU elections again saw students making the most of the opportunity to have a say in how their student union is run. On a more personal note, I was very pleased to be elected to the University Council. It is with great gratitude and humility that I accept the responsibility of advocating on behalf of all RMIT students. I look forward to bringing to light the numerous challenges, issues, and problems faced by the University’s large and diverse student body. While I am sad to be finishing my role of RUSU president in the near future, I am excited for what 2017 may bring for both RUSU and myself. Sadly, RUSU recently said goodbye to professor Owen Hughes, whose door was always open to us, and whom always lent a respectful and listening ear during his five years as Dean of Students. With his support, advice, and mentoring, the student voice has continued to grow at RMIT. Owen has been a great ally, and a great friend. He will be missed, but his legacy won’t be forgotten. We greatly appreciate his efforts, and thank him for his support of our organisation.
