RMIT Capabilities describe the skills, knowledge and values that you will develop through your studies.
At RMIT, you'll develop six unique and future-focused capabilities for learning through life and work. These are called the RMIT Capabilities, and they are designed to help prepare you for the evolving nature of work and global engagement.
The capabilities are built into your program and inform the design and delivery of your learning activities and assessments. They also inform some extra-curricular experiences at RMIT.
This means, by the time you graduate from your studies, you will have developed these capabilities and be ready to apply them in your life and work.
“My learning experiences at RMIT were very applied and practical, and I was provided with lots of experiences to develop new skills. This helped me to believe in myself, and to better push through challenges.”
– Alyce, RMIT Alumni
