An undergraduate degree is the first level of university study and can open the door to various career paths or further study, like a postgraduate degree.
During an undergraduate degree, you’ll study a series of subjects that build your knowledge and skills in areas related to your degree, providing you with the foundations you need for your future career. Throughout your undergraduate degree at RMIT there are opportunities for practical experiences like internships or projects that help you apply what you've learned in real-world settings.
An undergraduate degree can take anywhere between 2 to 5 years depending on the type of degree, if you're studying a double degree, or studying part-time.
An undergraduate certificate is a short-term qualification that focuses on a specific area of study at a level below a bachelor's degree. An undergraduate certificate usually takes about 6 months of study and it's a great option if you want to upskill quickly, explore a new area of interest, or enhance your career prospects without committing to a longer degree program. The courses you take as part of an undergraduate certificate are often the same as those in a full degree, but with fewer required subjects. This means you can get a taste of university-level study and potentially use the credits earned towards a degree later on if you choose to continue your education.
Yes! If you studied VCAL, have completed an unscored VCE, or didn’t get the ATAR results you were hoping for, one of the first options is a pathway into university. Pathways usually begin with a vocational course and eventually lead you to an undergraduate degree. If you're an international student you can apply for RMIT's Foundation Studies course to prepare you for success at university
