Today we are a global university of technology that provides students with the learning, teaching, research and training that enables them to excel. Developed in consultation with industry, many programs integrate work experience with learning, ensuring that RMIT maintains its outstanding reputation for producing some of Australia’s most employable graduates. Located in the heart of Melbourne, RMIT is the largest dual-sector university in Australia, with a student body of more than 70 000, including 24 000 international (onshore and offshore) students. An impressive research profile, industry relevant learning and extensive services and facilities are just some of the reasons students choose to study at RMIT. In fact if you join now you will also benefit from a AU$500 million investment in student learning and research facilities, to be implemented over the next three years. Our programs maintain currency and relevance thanks to our strong links with industry, community partners and colleagues from universities across the globe. As a postgraduate student this means collaborative research projects with industry, student placements, industry guest lecturers and the involvement of practitioners in teaching. A range of study options are also available to coursework students, including graduate certificates, graduate diplomas and masters programs. This mix of theoretical and practical learning has prepared many RMIT graduates for employment and active participation in their communities.

  • Burke CV2018
    Associate Professor Robert Burke Curriculum vitae 2018 Personal Details Full name: Associate Professor Robert Louis Burke Current position: Convenor of Jazz and Popular Music Department/ Monash University School/ Sir Zelman Cowen School of Music Faculty/Division: Faculty of Arts Correspondence address: 14 Albert St Caulfield North 3161 Email address: [email protected] ABOUT In 2002, Rob Burke instigated, launched and is currently the Convenor of Jazz and Popular Studies at Monash University (Melbourne Australia). Rob recognised an unfulfilled need in Melbourne's jazz academic landscape, established its course curriculum and provided a clear pathway for musicians to develop their proficiency and aptitude for their academic and performance outcomes. His background as a classically educated musician also enables him to traverse many musical genres and he is in a unique position to speak to students and colleagues about their requirements/concerns and provide balanced outcomes. His ongoing research focuses on issues relating to how we respond to improvised jazz: artistically, critically and personally. His work includes studying the processes and outcomes of music participation and music listening. An internationally acclaimed performer and composer, Rob has released 12 CD's under his own name and has composed and performed on a further 300 CD's. His sensitive and balanced perspective has allowed Rob to traverse many different styles and this has, in part, been expressed as collaborative performances with international leaders in classical, jazz and experimental music. His embrace of many genres of music and the clear expression of his diversity in his role as an educator, researcher and performer, has given rise to a vibrant dialect that resonates through his students and also his performances.
