Key highlights

Innovative teaching and learning

  • Instead of large-scale, passive lectures led by professors, most classes at RMIT are delivered through active discussion and group projects to foster meaningful interactions between students, educators and industry guest speakers.
  • Students will be assessed through a range of individual and group assignments, which includes case studies, business simulations, presentations and business appraisals.

Strong industry connections

  • The School of Management has an Industry Advisory Board consisting of high-profile business leaders, such as chief executives and directors from National Australia Bank, Ericsson, Deloitte and Victoria Police. The board guides the strategic development of the school, both nationally and internationally, and provides expert advice to ensure its programs and research are relevant to industry requirements.
  • Depending on their needs, students can choose to take an internship elective or start their own business during the program. Alternatively, the Fastrack Innovation Program allows students to be mentored by expert faculty and industry coaches to come up with a design-driven, innovative solution for paying clients.

Graduates of this program are granted membership into industry associations such as the Export Council of Australia and Institute of Managers and Leaders, assisting them to transition from university into their profession and enjoy exclusive member benefits.
