New Courses at RMIT 2020
Bachelor of Business (Digital Business)
In an increasingly digitally-led world, it pays to be at the forefront of digital trends, applications and principles. With the Bachelor of Business (Digital Business), students will learn the application of industry-used tools and will develop the essential skills and mindsets in the workplaces of today and the future. This broad curriculum incorporates IT strategy and governance, financial technology, digital business transformation and creativity, innovation and design.
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
How do you know what stream of engineering to apply for? In this new degree, students spend their first year of study experiencing the breadth of engineering options available at RMIT University before entering their specialised program in second year with a strong technical foundation. Of significant importance is that students can also apply with any Unit 3/4 Maths.

Bachelor of Youth Work and Youth Studies
RMIT is now offering a new Bachelor of Youth Work and Youth Studies, a recently updated three-year full-time course. The updated program prepares students for a range of challenging but very rewarding roles, exploring complex social issues affecting at-risk youths such as homelessness, radicalisation, poverty and mental health. The course aims to examine and foster the environments in which all young people can thrive and feel confident, connected and safe.
Bachelor of International Security Studies ANU
Do you see yourself shaping Australia's foreign policy decisions? Or working with elite international organisations like the United Nations or our top spy agencies?
Students who study the Bachelor of International Security Studies delve deeply into the contemporary security threats facing nations, international organisations and businesses around the world – including the threat of military power, civil war, terrorism, cybercrime, environmental degradation and food security to name just a few. A particular feature of this degree is the opportunity to truly engage with the Asia Pacific region through dedicated in-country study programs. These programs are offered in a number of countries and range in length from a couple of weeks to six months. Both language and non-language opportunities are available so students can tailor-make their adventure of a lifetime. Students who opt to participate in these study programs will receive a minimum of $3,000 funding to help with the costs of study and travel overseas.
This qualification will prepare students for a successful career in government (including foreign affairs and trade, defence, the Australian Federal Police or intelligence agencies), international organisations (like the United Nations or Amnesty International) or international businesses who face global security issues (such as Boeing and BHP Billiton). More details regarding this course can be found at International Security.
