RMIT is internationally
recognised for teaching
and research excellence
in information and
communications technology
with an emphasis on
programming and
software development.
Student Profile
“The information systems degree allowed me to mix
my passion for IT with knowledge about how to
apply this to business environments that increasingly
rely on technology. The program teaches you how
the two fields interact and allows you to choose
which aspects you want to focus on.”
Tass Grigoriou
Bachelor of Business (Information Systems)
(Applied)
Our flexible programs reflect leading-edge developments
in information and communications technology (ICT).
Our programs are developed in consultation with
employers and focused on pioneering technology.
RMIT’s computing facilities are among the most
advanced in Australia.

3Professor Jason Potts, Australian Research Council
Future Fellow, is leading a project examining the
development of business ideas and innovation by
groups and communities, rather than by formal
structures such as corporations.
Specifically, Professor Potts is taking a deep interest
in the growth of 3D printing, a sunrise industry
which is demonstrating the way in which sharing
ideas in communities can ease the process of
commercialisation.
Researching Global Solutions
Iman Amini is undertaking a year-long internship
with French power and transport multinational
Alstom, which includes a $30,000 scholarship as
well as funding for travel, language learning and
other expenses. The scholarship from the French
Embassy’s French Company Experience Program
(FCEP) promotes cross-cultural understanding
between France and Australia by giving students
professional experience in French multinational
companies.

4Urban Sustainability
The new NICTA RMIT Data Analytics Lab is a hub
for advanced data analytics projects, supporting
researchers and helping Australian and Victorian
businesses compete on a global scale.
Industry Connected
Strong partnerships with industry leaders and a practical approach
are at the heart of RMIT qualifications.
— Many RMIT academics work with global companies, enabling the University
to develop an enviable range of industry-aligned courses. This means you’ll learn
by doing and gain the practical skills to navigate a rapidly changing world before
you graduate.
— Industry partners include Adidas, BMW, Rolls-Royce, United Nations, NAB, Alcoa,
L’Oréal, IBM, Deloitte, KPMG, China Power, Guess, Siemens, Nestlé, Airbus, ANZ,
Boeing, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (China) and Arup.
— One of a kind in Australia, the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research
Program (RIIERP) offers internships and the opportunity to work on projects with
leading organisations in Asia, Europe and the US.
RMIT is urban in orientation and creativity, shaping sustainable
cities of the future.
— The New Academic Street (NAS) project is set to transform the City campus: there
will be a new 24-hour computer lab, as well as more dedicated areas for study, group
work, informal meetings and on-campus socialising.
— Dedicated to sustainable urban campus environments and design excellence,
RMIT’s continuing $800 million capital investment program saw the completion
of the Design Hub and Swanston Academic Building (SAB) in Melbourne, and
a striking new academic building at the Ho Chi Minh City campus in 2012.
— The Design Hub represents a new era for design innovation and research in Australia.
It brings together progressive design academics, industry practitioners and
postgraduate researchers within a disciplinary and collaborative urban laboratory –
the first of its kind in Australia.
— The Swanston Academic Building (SAB) was named one of the ten most spectacular
university buildings in the world by CNN.
Swanston Academic Building (SAB) – designed
by Lyons Architect, led by RMIT alumnus and
Adjunct Professor Carey Lyons.
The Design Hub – designed by RMIT alumnus
Sean Godsell.
5RMIT has been at the forefront of computing and ICT education since
the era of space exploration began, becoming one of the country’s
largest and most industry-focused program providers.

6Computer Science
Computer science has foundations in theory
and mathematics and leads to advanced
developments in artificial intelligence, software
development, intelligent systems, bioinformatics,
computer vision and other areas.
Computer scientists design and develop all
types of software, from systems infrastructure
(such as operating systems and
communications programs) to application
technologies (including web browsers,
databases and search engines). Computer
scientists create these capabilities and develop
effective ways to solve computing problems.
Who is the Degree for?
Those wanting to work in a variety of different
computing roles or multi skilled teams on
innovative projects or research.
Computer Science Programs
— Bachelor of Computer Science
— Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours).
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering is about the design and
construction of computers and computerbased
systems. Focusing mainly on hardware,
computer engineers also need to understand
software, communications, and programming.
Computer engineers also develop embedded
systems – devices that have software and
hardware built into them – such as mobile
phones, digital audio and video, alarms and
sensors, x-rays, robotics and laser surgery and
navigation tools.
