RMIT's presence in the world of gaming has skyrocketed. With state-of-the-art facilities, unwavering support for elite athletes, and a dedicated team of staff and clubs, esports enthusiasts are drawn to RMIT, knowing it leads the way in this rapidly expanding industry.
In addition to producing world-class game designers through our highly-regarded courses, we have two dedicated spaces for esports and games at the Melbourne City campus, a thriving community of teams and clubs, an appointed esports and games project manager on staff, and an established program to support elite and emerging student athletes.
