Our motto since 1887, ‘a skilled hand, a cultivated mind’, reflects RMIT’s commitment to improving the lives and futures of people in a fast-changing world. Applying knowledge with skill, imagination and integrity is at the core of all our work, along with close connection and collaboration with the industries and employers our graduates seek to join.

Our diverse community of 500,000+ graduates live and work in more than 150 countries around the world. We regularly welcome our alumni back throughout their careers to top up their skills or change their direction altogether, because we know education is lifelong.

The person that I was when I came to Australia to do tertiary studies for the first time was vastly different from the person I am today now. I’ve grown, and I’ve learned a lot. Past Raffa wouldn’t partake in a lot of activities, he wouldn’t be active, he doesn’t like volunteering he likes to keep to himself.
Oh, how the tables have turned though! I ended up becoming the vice president of a student club. I was a mentor for international students all over the world. I made lifelong friends from different cultures. Through my degree, I’ve done internships in big companies and made professional connections – so many things!
