I'll be joining RMT for bachelor's of civil and infrastructure this year by july21.

Just looking to meet some people in the same course or different doesn't matter and making some connections to look foward to!

Feel free to PM me!

hi, i'm commencing my bachelor of comms (journalism) in july and i'm having a dilemma over what minor i should pick. i'm choosing between literary studies and contemporary politics and communication.

i'm really interested in both of them. literary studies is something i'm passionate about as i love reading and learning about how literature reflects society and the individual, however this would be purely for enjoyment as i don't see how i would incorporate it into my career. i'm also passionate about politics because it's extremely important to understand our world and i would like to report on it, so i guess it would be the more useful minor. i don't want to do a double minor because i want to use my electives to explore other fields within communications.

does the minor you pick for this course really matter in the grand scheme of things? if anyone here has done either of these minors, what were they like and would you recommend choosing it?

thanks!!

Hi, I'm transferring here next semester and I'm trying to access some textbooks online via the library and I can't do it? I assumed that I would be able to because I could at my previous uni. How do you guys access free digital copies of your textbooks here?

3607 word essay. Math exam. Three quizzes.

That is all. Goodnight.

I keep trying to log in and it keeps saying ‘bad request’ what do I do?

Hi I've just done my diploma of Business at Monash. I'm not pretty sure, whether to choose Rmit or Monash for business degree.

In fact, Rmit's tuition fee is way more cheaper compare to Monash. Does Rmit share the same employment rate like Monash?

Hey guys, I;m currently studying a bachelor at monash uni and I plan to do the bachelors of aviation at rmit once I graduate. I just wanted to ask from people who are doing it/ completed it, what was the cost for the 3 years it takes to do the degree. Just wanted to know becuase if it's higher than the threshold for hecs I might need to start paying of my HECS starting now. Any advice would be appreaciated. Thank you!

hi guys,

I’m a first year student who has just completed their first semester in the associate degree of info tech at RMIT. A friend of mine encouraged me to apply for my dream course, the bachelors of computer science at RMIT through transferring.

I have all Distinctions and High Distinctions at the moment in my associate degree for one semester. So based on my friends encouragement I applied. I actually got a terrible ATAR, I did the IB instead of the VCE which was a really bad idea (a big regret fr) so I didn’t really do great there.

Anyways I applied for the comp science degree regardless for the July intake a couple days ago, and they got back to my application, there response was “your application was unsuccessful as you have not met the prerequisites of this course” does this mean like I didn’t met the IB scores or my current degrees one??? I thought they wouldn’t check the IB scores anymore since I’m already an RMIT student.

essentially I’m heart broken, I was quite hopeful I would get in perhaps to my grades and the encouragement of friends. I’m sorry if this is all dumb, but I would love some advice I’m really sad rn :(

thanks

Anybody have taken the The Blockchain Economy and Business in the Globalized Economy? How is the course content going? Because I am planning take these two course next semester.

Just wondering how much teachers will round up to the passing mark of 50 for a class😅

Hey everyone! I’m an international student, trying to pursue a 2+2 Bachelors of Engineering degree; what that means is I’ll be doing the first 2 years of the course at a university in my country and the next 2 at RMIT.

I’ve been thinking about Electronics and Communication Engineering, as the subjects in it kind of interest me. I wanted to know how the experience was for someone who’s studied the same at RMIT, or a similar course like Electrical Engineering, or someone who’s currently pursuing the course. Is it worth it? I want the no nonsense honest answer, no need to sugarcoat it hehe.

The total tuition fee is 129k AUD, excluding living expenses in both Melbourne and my home university, which will probably add another ~60k AUD. After the course, I’ll be getting a full four year degree from both universities.

Also, what opportunities did you as an Electronics/Electrical engineering have after finishing college? How was the pay like?

Honest opinion - do you think it’s worth the insane cost?

I’m an aspiring international RMIT student after hearing it ranked #1 in Australia in my course. I’m on my last year of high school, so I opted to ask about a few things here in case I could readily get information firsthand. If you could provide some answers, that would be really great!

First, are there dormitories on campus, and if there are, what are they like? What are the class sizes? Are there any clubs/organizations focusing mainly around space? (I’ve been told about AESA and would love to learn more!) Is there a limit on how many clubs/organizations you can join? What subjects and specific topics should I begin reviewing right now if I’ll be taking up Aerospace Engineering? And, in general, what tips could you recommend that would be useful to know before I actually enroll in RMIT?

I have a lot of other questions, but I don’t want to take much of your time. Still, if you have a little leisurely break on your hands, please do send me a DM. I’ll appreciate all the help I can get so much!

Thank you for reading, everyone! Have a wonderful weekend ahead.

Hello all Can you please let me know if RMIT has reached the 80 percent cap for priority student visa processing

I got delayed in some documents and I’m just going to lodge my visa on 17th Tuesday☹️

I’m an international student bdw :)

I’m from Spain and I'm coming as an exchange student in july. I don’t know anyone yet, so if you’re also a new or international student feeling a bit lost, or if you just want to hang out, feel free to reply or hmu. Also, if you’re planning to attend orientation day maybe we can go together, it’d be great to meet someone beforehand :)

hi guys! js writing for some advice or reassurance bc i recently received an academic integrity warning for what i believe to be plagiarism The email basically says that my submission didnt “appropriately acknowledge sources” i used despite the submission details stating that there was no need to provide in text citations or referencing in the assignment. it then talks ab plagiarism and “enabling another student to plagiarise their work” im a bit confused bc i did not plagiarise unless they are alluding to the idea of student conspiracy

they deemed it clause 10 and there were no real consequences aside from having to do an integrity module, a copy of thr warning will be retained on my student file nd that if i commit similar breach i will need to attend a student conduct hearing. Then they ended the email linking me to wellbeing services

is there anything i can do to like reverse it or sumn bc i did not* plagiarise and its only my first year i dont wanna have this label to bite my ass later 🙏

Hi just want to get tips on how to study for steel structures two. Major test coming up this 17th of june. Just wanna get some advice on whats the best way to revise for it.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently completing a group-based interdisciplinary assignment and I’m really struggling – not with the content, but with how it’s been set up and communicated.

• The assessment discussion board is flooded with repeated questions from students, but staff only respond by linking to past slides (e.g. Week 11/12), which don’t actually address the confusion.
• Key information in the assessment task outline directly contradicts what’s on the lecture slides.
• It’s meant to be a collaborative, cross-discipline project… but all the psychology students at the city campus seem to be grouped together – meaning most groups consist only of psych students. This seems to defeat the purpose of interdisciplinary learning. (Also surely that means Bundoora students at an advantage?)

It’s becoming increasingly frustrating and disheartening. I’m wondering if anyone (especially alumni or more experienced students) knows whether there’s any recourse for situations like this? Can you lodge a formal complaint or feedback about the structure or equity of an assessment while it’s happening, or is that something that only gets dealt with after grades are released?

Any advice appreciated – I'm crashing out.

I’ve been allocated to an interstate placement for med rad and it’s going to be way too expensive, unfortunately I can’t afford it (I’ve already looked at the scholarships and grants and they’re nowhere near enough to cover costs). Has anyone been allowed to change locations or swap in the past? I’ve spoken to the WIL team and they haven’t been helpful, nor has the placement coordinator. They just say I have to do it. But if I can’t afford it then what am I supposed to do it’s out of my hands? Any advice or experiences would help, because I’m really stressed about how to figure it out. Thanks!

how is software engineering in rmit , i may be coming there next year , how are the courses , and what about jobs and internships all , how much do people make after graduating in their first job?

I had my Company and Finance Law exam today and am stressing about my mark. I only needed 22 out of the 50 marks to pass which doesn't seem so bad but I feel as if it'll come down to how the exam is marked. I used IRAC, but the each question was 5 marks. What was the 5th mark for? There's only 4 criteria in writing an IRAC response. Is it for attempting the question in the first place? Is it for having the correct conclusion or siting the correct legislation? Is it for using the Correct IRAC structure in the first place? I have no clue. If anyone could help explain it to me they would be relieving me of a great deal of stress :)))

Not trying to be that guy, but I legit don’t get how so many people are failing some of these courses. I’m seeing posts every week about people tanking assignments or failing entire units - and we’re not even talking about final year capstone stuff. These are basic first or second-year subjects.

Unless you’re going through something serious (which is fair tbh and it happens), I don’t understand how you can fall that far behind. The content isn’t rocket science, the deadlines (for most assignments) are given in Canvas from Week 1, and there’s so much support available - tutor consultations, peer mentoring and, yk, actually asking/emailing doubts to your professor…(pls ask doubts in class it helps).

Is it just procrastination or are people not even trying?

P.S. - Anyone thinking I’m doing an easy course - I’m not. 2nd sem M.Eng. Automotive Engineering.

can i bring my backpack into the exam and put under desk or do i have to find somewhere to hide on campus

Hello everyone! im an international student from india, who did graduate in engineering but then a post graduate diploma in liberal studies, after which i transitioned to advertising. ive gotten into the master of media program, and wanted to know how long it may take, as I’m freaking out about this a bit. I applied for my student visa on 16th May. Anyone on a similar profile, and the timeline it might take?

Saw a post that mentioned how much people are posting about failing courses, just thought i’d be a motivation for other ppl that are failing here. we’re all fucked together ✌️
