Degree and Diploma Guide a Message from the Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean 2022 Degree and Diploma Guide A message from the Vice-Chancellor Martin Bean At RMIT we focus on giving everyone the chance to be their best, shape their future and belong. Thanks to the passion of our extraordinary people and our commitment to transformative education and research, we’re making that a reality every day. It began back in 1887 when Francis Ormond had a vision for helping workers acquire real-world skills. The people of Melbourne matched his enthusiasm to start a very practical place of learning where students would leave ready for employment. We still live this vision today. As society and the economy have become more sophisticated and complex, RMIT has grown and changed alongside. Now, we’re a global university of design, technology and enterprise. We exist to prepare our students for workplaces that are rapidly evolving, and we play a part in shaping a changing world. RMIT has been part of every new development in work and industry since our inception. We’re passionate about the communities we’re part of and we’re driven to make a purposeful contribution. That’s why we shape the world with our research and impactful partnerships with industry, government and enterprise. We provide life-changing experiences when we give our students their first, second or even third opportunity to prepare for the world of work they aspire to. Because today, more than ever, the transformational power of education is lifelong, generations deep and worldwide. The one certainty is more and greater change in every industry and every location. So with the world unlike it’s ever been before, we’re focused on ensuring our students are ready for life and work, whatever form that takes. At RMIT, as we look to 2022 and beyond, we’re excited about the possibilities.

    RMIT SITUATE artist residency opportunity at RMIT University for visual artists AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Niederösterreich at the RMIT School of Art, Melbourne campus, for 2020 AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Niederösterreich and RMIT SITUATE have conducted an annual residency exchange since 2007. The School of Art at RMIT offers studios for artists practicing in the fields of painting, drawing, sound, printmaking, new media (video, animation), photography, multi-disciplinary practices and object-based practices (ceramics, gold & silversmithing and sculpture). For specialist disciplines, RMIT SITUATE will attempt to accommodate artists with access to University facilities and equipment. Applications are sought from Lower Austrian artists working in any of these fields. The international exchanges cultivate a critical context for the development and presentation of contemporary art to a local, national and international audience. The residency project was formed to entice cross-cultural dialogue, and to enable arts practitioners to operate in a dynamic and global nature – a manner characterised by mobility, fluidity and interactivity. The Artist in Residence exchange forms a ‘location’ through which the relationship of economics, politics and cultural identity can be examined and interrogated. Applications for the AIR – Niederösterreich / RMIT Residency Exchange All applications must include the following: A project and exhibition rational (English/German) of no more than 2000 characters. The rational must include reference to a conceptual research focus of the project. Max: 10 images of recent work (AND/OR 5 minutes of compiled/excerpted sound or video) in any medium with an accompanying list of works listing title, medium, duration/dimensions and date.

  • 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.

  • Matthew Lorenzon Marshall-Hall Thesis for Printing Part 1
    The Literary Works of G. W. L. Marshall-Hall: 1888–1915 Matthew Donald Adrian Lorenzon Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts October 2010 Department of English The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Fig. 1. Arthur Streeton, Portrait of Professor Marshall-Hall, 1892, pen and ink on envelope, image courtesy of the State Library of Victoria. i Abstract The literary oeuvre of the first Ormond Professor of Music at the University of Melbourne, George William Louis Marshall-Hall, registered the key philosophical, scientific, and political debates that raged in English and Australian periodicals during the period 1888–1915. His works, encompassing lectures, poetry, articles, and marginalia, also show Marshall-Hall reacting to his social surroundings, playing an active part in the intellectual communities of London and Melbourne. The thesis divides the author’s literary development into three periods, detailing each period’s principal works and the social and historical catalysts that caused his shifts between them. In the first section, 1888–92, it is argued that Marshall-Hall’s use of the philosopher of evolution Herbert Spencer in his London writings 1888–90 was influenced by his family’s scientific legacy and the progressive publishing rationale of the publisher of The Musical World Francis Hueffer. By participating in London’s Wagnerian literary culture he developed the evolutionary justification of Wagner’s works that he then took to Australia. In Australia 1891–92, conservative newspapers challenged Marshall-Hall’s Wagnerian and Spencerian writings. In response, he revaluated his ideas using the mystical metaphysics of Arthur Schopenhauer.

  • 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.

  • Bayly and Price
    Chapter Three Bayly and Price Despite a seamless transition into che Associated Public Schools fold, the ensuing period ac the College proved to be unseeded, complicated by the succession of three Principals and the effects ofWorld War I. Initially, however, external confidence in the renewed Presbyterian ties was expressed in enrolments, which did not decrease in 1908 bur increased slightly to 193 and then to 207 in 1909. 1 Internally, the same confidence was expressed with physical growth, in che form of plans for a grand new school hall. Suddenly, in the space of less than a year, much of chis confidence evaporated with the deaths of both the Vice Principal and the Principal. The Vice Principal's death in May r 909 seemed to mark the end of an era; John Kerr (1889-1909) was deeply mourned as he had been on che stafffor a very long time, and second-in-charge since 1904. Although seem, he was an enthusiastic, energetic teacher who 'aimed always at the highest, and caught his scholars to do che same ... he always aimed at perfection [and] measured merely by the standard of examination results, his success as a reacher was remarkable'. 2 The school was even more deeply shocked when, six months lacer, orman Morrison was found dead. According to the inquest, he died on Friday 12 ovember at his farm in Mount Moriac when his gun accidentally discharged while he was getting through a fence. He had been out hunting. There was no suggestion of suicide or foul play and witnesses at the inquest attested to his good health and excellent spirits, and chat he had been intending to return to Geelong the next day.
