Take a minute to read the detailed steps below to find out how to apply.
Depending on the program you are applying for, you may need to provide supporting documents and information like:
You may be required to complete a selection task which might include an interview, folio, pre-selection kit and/or supplementary information forms. Please check the entry requirements section of the program you are applying for.
If you have any questions about the program you’re interested in, please get in touch with Study@RMIT before you submit your application.
As soon as you are ready to apply, register online to start your application.
Application closing dates are listed on Direct application dates. We recommend you apply early, so you don’t miss out on preferred classes. If you’ve put in multiple programs in your application, they will be assessed concurrently.
Remember to jump on your computer to apply. It’s much easier than your phone or tablet, and better if you have documents to upload.
If you’re in a hurry to meet the application deadline, you can submit your application without having all your supporting documentation ready. Remember to upload your documents as soon as you have them, as your application cannot be assessed until you have submitted all required documentation.

Getting ready to apply to RMIT? Here’s how
RMIT is one of Australia’s leading universities, located in the heart of Melbourne.
It’s a great place to study, and there are courses to suit everyone.
Our website lists all of the courses on offer so you can discover options in your field of interest.
When you find a course, check that you meet the entry requirements. If you don’t qualify for that course, explore RMIT’s pathway programs. They can help you get on the path to the qualification you want.
Once you’ve chosen your course, it’s time to apply! Get all your documents together,
including your academic records and passport, and proof of English proficiency. If you don’t have everything you need now, you can still apply and submit them later.
To submit your application online, visit our website and find your course. Click the apply button and follow the prompts.
Our admissions team will assess your application and if you are successful, will send you a letter of offer. The time frame for this varies based on the course you apply for and the selection process, so it might not happen the very next day.
What’s next? Once you accept the offer and pay your deposit, we will send you a confirmation of enrolment. You can use this document as part of your visa application.
If you need advice, contact the friendly staff at Study@RMIT. We have lots of information that will help you plan your move to Melbourne and start life as an international student at RMIT.
We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne!

Once submitted, your application status will change to ‘Under assessment’. If you’ve have submitted all the required documentation, you can expect an outcome within 1–4 weeks. If a Selection Officer requires further information from you, a request email will be sent to your registered address and you’ll be notified on My Dashboard.
If you’ve applied for a commonwealth supported place (CSP) and the program requires ranking as part of the assessment, a ranking email will be sent to you to advise what date you can expect to receive an outcome.
At RMIT, there are three application outcomes that you may receive:
Take charge of what’s next. Take your career to the next level with specialised study at an industry-connected university.
Find out more about how you can take charge of what’s next and stand out during the Great Resignation with an industry-backed postgrad qualification.
