RMIT University [An Unbiased Review by Choosing Your Uni] 

No worries!

@@ChoosingYourUni Man, could you make a tour to James Cook University?

My James Cook Cairns review is up already. James Cook Townsville should be ready in a week or two at most 😁

@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks. Hoping to see the video soon

Here's the JCU Townsville video :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L7ApNJwX290.html

Nice

Thanks Omkar - appreciate it mate! :) Have a great day.

Yeah great point. It’s exactly why we’re building a whole platform for this stuff at choosingyouruni.com - to allow people to really dig into the things that matter to them, since a short review doesn’t have enough space to get to important specifics.

Very glad to hear it! If you have any questions feel free to post them here.

Yep, am planning it. Please subscribe and I'll notify you once it's ready!

Three excellent unis for that, each offering slightly different courses and options. I’d be pleased to have any of those on my resume.

It’s a good one!

For what degree? Or are you thinking an exchange?

What did they have to say about it?

Not sure I understand?

There are loads. You’ll need to narrow it down a bit first.

Yes. It has some strong programs in that area.

It shouldn't. What degree are you looking at doing.

Great!

Oooooo you’ve touched a subject close to my heart with this one because I’ve had a fair bit to do with these osteo programs over the years. So I’ve got a LOT to say about these programs! Give me a couple of days and I’ll put together a specific video on this. It will be rough but there’s a lot to cover!

Sorry, I haven’t had a chance to do this yet so wanted to write a response. There are only 3 osteo programs in Australia and all have their strengths in terms of both practice and research. I’d suggest you have a serious look at SCU as a first choice. My rationale is based on talking with practicing osteos. Class sizes are smaller at SCU. From what I’ve heard, class sizes at RMIT have also grown a LOT over the past few years. Small class sizes mean more dedicated attention from teachers and more practical hands on experience. From what I’ve heard, Melbourne is also pretty saturated with osteos, making it harder to build clientele afterwards. I’ve visited many osteos over the years and I’ve found the SCU grads have a more rounded skill set - they can be mechanically strong, but also have a sensitivity, an ability to “feel”, that is less common in grads from elsewhere imo If it were me (and believe me I’ve thought about being an osteo sometimes!) I’d go to SCU and then look to open a clinic somewhere outside the major capitals: the Sunshine Coast, Perth, Gold Coast etc. Just my 2 cents though.

The automotive program at RMIT is one of the best in Oz from what I know. I guess it's an interesting degree since we don't actually build cars in Australia anymore.... This is the sort of area where I believe it's an advantage if you can add some sort of extra specialisation. For example, if you're doing automotive engineering, also having some idea about sustainability and electric vehicles (although that's probably covered off in courses these days). But also things like IOT (internet of things) or even cybersecurity. All of these systems need to be secured into the future. Basically the more unique your skill set, the more likely it is that you get picked up for a job because your exact skill set is harder to find.

Thanks mate!

Design and business disciplines are both strong at RMIT. The work integrated learning side of things is excellent too, so I think these would be safe choices.

RMIT for that one

You’ll need to unpack that a bit as I don’t know you or your circumstances. What do you specifically want to know about?

There's a possibility it might happen for August. Good choice on Newcastle for Med Engineering.

@@ChoosingYourUni Do you for it is the best choice.

Location, vibe, subjects taught. What are you looking at studying?

Either primary school teaching, law or interior design

@@ericacummins8502 cool - that's a diverse range of choices. If you haven't yet decided what you're most interested in, you can always start with a general degree (like a Bachelor of Arts), take HEAPS of different courses in your first year so you get a taste of what different subjects are like, then choose one of the above and transfer to the one you really want to do.

Sorry, I’m not really sure about that as a discipline. Both are excellent institutions imo

What are you looking to study?

Based on what?

A Life That Travels Social community - Because I am an international student, and I want to meet alot of student especially local students and have a fun time together. Quality - The program discipline for Computer Science/IT Jobs - Which prepares me more for working experience/internship. Also I would like to add Swinburne University of Technology as well.

@@gamewithjason please reply to the above comment, it would help me too

Both great programs. Both very connected to industry with lots of practical experience. Check to make sure the program you’re looking for is accredited by the Australian Computer Society, but they should both be.

Really good question. I haven't looked at gaming for awhile but RMIT would have been my pick if you'd asked me two years ago.

Both good programs from what I know. To me, an MBA is really about the specialisation you’re hoping to have at the end, and the relevant industry linkages that a degree program has related to that specialisation. Eg. If your thing is supply chain, I’d completely ignore overall rankings if there were a different MBA that had a kick arse supply chain specialisation and internship opportunity with a relevant company. That’s where you’ll build your network the most and get best bang for buck.

It’s a good one!

Not sure how to split them tbh - both great programs and unis with lots of opportunities on offer

There is no indication of time frame at this stage. When are you looking to start? August or next January?

August bro

I’d put RMIT high on the list for this. QUT and also Swinburne Uni are very good too.

Second that, RMIT would be my choice for those choices - I have many friends doing similar stuff there and they love it. Plus imo, Melbourne is more student friendly compared to up north.

+1

The university you studied at, rather than your skills and experience, is only of minor importance in the workforce in Australia. Employers are far more concerned with how well you "fit" the company culture, as well as your soft skills, than purely what and where you studied. Of course, for very technical jobs, like engineering, having the "right" degree is important too. I'd encourage you to look at which degree program attracts you the most. In the end, if you're happy and really engaged in your studies because they are most aligned with your interests, you'll do better. A degree that you LOVE at a "lowly" ranked uni is still better than a degree you HATE at a "highly" ranked uni. All of the unis you list have various strengths in the international studies space and I like each of them for different reasons. Check out the course details (i.e. exactly what subjects are part of the degree) plus the extracurricular options (leadership, internships, overseas study, social life etc) before making a decision.

This is a good university for engineering and technology degrees.

My gut reaction was RMIT.

Hard to say without more info about what you're hoping to achieve.

Hi Stacey, I’ll leave this comment up if you can substantiate it in some way. Australian universities are regulated by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency under the Australian Qualifications Framework. They are audited for compliance. RMIT is no different to other unis in its requirements to comply. If you have concerns, you should probably report them to TEQSA.

Both are great.

What did you choose I am confusing too

@Eaint Thet in the end I chose rmit :)

Great choice imo

@@ChoosingYourUni yeah! currently i’m doing foundation course to uni and it’s been fun so far☺️

Both are excellent universities. I wouldn’t recommend one over the other for that discipline or student experience. They are comparable - except that one is in Sydney and one is in Melbourne!

@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks and appreciate your response. Would you please let me know how QUT stands with RMIT and UTS for the same course?

Still plenty of work available in civil engineering atm.

Very good program at RMIT 👍

Right now I'd put RMIT over MQ for that because the programs are much better established. For straight management MQ is strong, but engineering is still relatively young at that uni. RMIT has strong industry programs and engineering in general.

Good choice imo

Any particular specialisation?

@@ChoosingYourUni i was deciding between civil and chemical engineering? Which Uni is better for each?

I’d suggest reading about each of those departments at each uni and looking at what courses they offer to see which one appeals the most. If you’re not yet decided, perhaps it’s best to look for the uni that is good at both so you can make up your mind once you’ve started. Also compared the options outside the classroom - Monash has a great global learning program, RMIT has great work integrated learning etc

RMIT is an excellent uni!

Biotech is a pretty broad field, can you be more specific or are you talking about an undergrad degree that starts at the beginning?

Maybe. Depends on many things. Search for my recent live video on “how to choose a university”

G'day! Thanks for this message. I'm not familiar with the BITS-RMIT collaboration, but I can provide a general comment and a few of my own opinions. Firstly, the Australian higher education system overall is ranked amongst the strongest in the world. 85% of our universities are in the "top 1000", a way higher percentage than the UK (~35%) or USA (~15%). Our system has strong quality controls and Government oversight - it doesn't mean that there are no problems, or no bad courses, but the university system as a whole has good integrity measures. So basically every Australian university will provide a quality education. Australia has a self-appointed group of universities called the Group of Eight. They are broadly considered the most "prestigious", largely because they do the most research (which features heavily in international rankings). However, if you look at student satisfaction, Go8 unis sometimes rank very poorly based on Australian Government data (go to compared.edu.au for student satisfaction data based on Australian Government surveys). As for RMIT, it's not Go8, but it has an excellent engineering program. I can't talk about India, but here in Australia, nobody would look badly at you if you had an engineering degree from RMIT... quite the opposite, in some sub-disciplines it is amongst the strongest in the country! So it all depends on what you're hoping to achieve with your degree. Check out Compared.edu.au and look at RMIT's sub-disciplines to see how they perform against other Australian and global universities. If you're looking to work in India, and RMIT's reputation isn't strong, then that's something to consider for you. From my point of view, if I had a son or daughter thinking of studying engineering at RMIT, I certainly wouldn't discourage them from it. Hope that helps!

I’m not sure what to make of this. RMIT is dual sector so teaches everything from Cert iii courses and up. Just because someone doesn’t have a degree doesn’t mean they don’t have relevant valuable experience to share. That might not be so in the case you’re talking about. Unis typically set themselves benchmarks of how many lecturers are PhD qualified, Masters qualified etc. But in niche areas maybe that’s difficult (or irrelevant). I’d always be careful about drawing a generalisation from a sample of 1.

There's a lot that goes into that decision depending on you and your preferences - like what city, access to internships, cost of living etc. Overall, if I had to choose for myself, I would probably pick UniSA for that topic right now. I love their marketing and branding programs. Very applied and real-world. RMIT would also be high up my list because of the extensive industry linkages and overseas study opportunities. But these are based on my preferences - both Swinburne and WSU also have really strong elements to them.

What specialisation?

@@ChoosingYourUni what uni do you recommend for bachelor of information technology?

I love both these unis. I couldn’t really say which is “better” for nursing as both are strong. I’d consider where in Melbourne you would want to live and the non-academic things you want to get out of uni and make a choice based on that.

Hi, saw your comment, you were confused between RMIT AND Deakin I have the similar cases got offer letter form both unis could you please share your experience about the uni u choose.thanks

What type of engineering? Both are excellent for that. What things are you interested in outside of class?

@@ChoosingYourUni Robotics and mechatronics engineering

You bet! I'm travelling there early in the new year and hope to pop into all the major unis. Stay posted. If you pop your email in on the website (www.alifethattravels.com) I'll let you know once they're ready. Sorry they're not ready for this year!

Yep, working on it.

Did you see this? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oGaxlysRNUo.html

I'm not sure about what the VET courses are like but the advantage of RMIT is that there are a lot of options taught by the institution so if you one day want to do other qualifications, they've got a lot on offer.

Both those unis are excellent. From an academic perspective I couldn’t really split them. What else are you hoping to get out of the experience? Eg overseas study opportunities, work integrated learning, leadership, clubs and societies etc

@@ChoosingYourUni Thank you so much. I really appreciate your concern.

Nursing is a fairly standard curriculum across most universities because it is an accredited subject. That means all students at all universities need to complete almost the same work because they must be accredited by the national nursing board at the end in order to get a job. So the thing to look at here is student satisfaction, teaching resources etc - you can do that on compared.edu.au. RMIT has excellent extracurricular options, like overseas study, work integrated learning, leadership and other options - being able to complete those alongside your studies is both fun and advantageous. It is a huge uni, so the thing to be aware of is that it will have larger class sizes than unis like ACU and Notre Dame that have excellent health programs and smaller classes (but that aren't as strong with extracurricular options).

Should be in the video description.

Both unis would be good for this 👍

👍

What's bpt mean, sorry?

Bachelor of physiotherapy (BPT)

Honestly, I wouldn’t be going into animation personally. Have a look at midjourney.com - animation won’t be far down the track for AI imo, definitely within the coming 5-10 years.

Not to be rude, but that's not what I asked. Whether it's a defunct career or not, I'd like to know which course is better

@@louie297i’m a bit late to give my two cents, but in terms of course quality and social culture i’d say rmit definitely. though student work seems to favour 2d over 3d, you’d probably get better career opportunities in 3d. universities like sae and swinburne seem to focus more on 3d and industry though. but rmit is a top university for animation i’ve been to both melbourne and rmit open days - melbourne was just sad, is all i can say, quite devoid of personality. but that might not be important to you

@@gooseinsoup thanks for the input! i ended up going to rmit so nice

@@louie297 awesome! i plan on going there after i graduate from high school! good luck!

I actually have - it's part of this regular RMIT video towards the end (when it was getting dark).

Going great. How about you?

Check out compared.edu.au in order to dive into the details of employability based on the discipline you're interested in studying. What I will say is that RMIT has one of the best work integrated learning programs of any university in Australia, so if you're looking for practical engagement it is strong for that!

Here's my Macquarie review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sZLRUG1xPK0.html

RMIT is an excellent university for engineering. I am not familiar with that particular degree, but the university has very strong degrees, work integrated learning, international study and extracurricular options. It is an excellent university.

@@ChoosingYourUni Thanks A Lot Brother,It helps me a lot..!! Hoping for more useful videos..!!♥️💯

In purely academic terms? Both have excellent engineering programs so I’d also encourage you to think about the things outside the classroom that interest you, like clubs, internship and overseas study opportunities etc

Hey pekin I'm stuck between uts and rmit on civil engineering program for postgraduate studies can you help me out on which is best

Hmmm. When you say communication, do you mean like Media and Communications (ie more business related) or technology communication (like engineering)?

/@@ChoosingYourUni advertising and business related sir

@@ChoosingYourUni media and communications sir

Okay understood. Both these universities have strengths in those areas. Both have good practical programs and industry linkages. RMIT is right in the heart of the city and is a HUGE university. It has some great student experience programs and maybe more choice of clubs and societies and stuff. Swinburne is a little out of the city (only 15 minutes by train) and has good work integrated learning and career development programs. You could be happy at both these universities.

Yeah, there’s a little truth in that for sure. There are so many buildings and levels and alleyways - definitely would take some getting used to!

@@ChoosingYourUni I am going to start next year and I always worry Ill get lost and miss class haha.

Cool Pup Gaming then at worst you’ll just be like everyone else who simply slept in 😂😂😂

@@ChoosingYourUni haha dont expose me 🤣

@Proud Australian kk ji where r u from

@Proud Australian ok sir u r citizen of australia?

@Proud Australian yeah u r ok then meet u there

@Proud Australian well what is ur name😊☺

@Proud Australian can we talk on instagram instead of comments

Good!

Sorry for the delay - your question is very broad. You'd need to be more specific about what you're hoping to study and achieve from the degree.

@@ChoosingYourUni I am hoping to study about IT and it's business, so I am looking for a great institution which is popular for INFORMATION TECH

All of those unis have both good IT programs and good business programs. Melbourne and Sydney are very different cities so that’s worth to consider. It’s worth looking also at all the extracurricular activities these unis offer - MQ has the PACE program, Deakin has a good global leadership program, Swinnie and RMIT have good work integrated learning programs.
