The RMIT Graphic Design course is taught in a modern open plan design studios which reflects the holistic nature of the undergraduate course. The use of walls is minimal in these purpose built studios. Students are able to move freely from their personal workstations to the well equipped computer areas which are centrally located within the studio complex. The use of colour and glass within the studios provides a lively environment and is a visual expression of the vitality and energy of the course. Our staff are a mix of dedicated teachers of communication design and practising professional designers who also teach.
Some staff are specialist teachers working in specific areas or medias.
Others teach broad design studies. The unique quality of the course is that staff work in a collaborative way so that the briefs students undertake cross disciplines in the same way as professional design briefs. These students are selected from over 2,000 applicants for the 36 Australian commencing places and the 20 International commencing places available. We are proud of the calibre of our students who are, we believe, highly talented and committed. Our students have been the recipients of numerous awards including Australian Writers and Art Directors Awards, Australian Graphic Designers Association Awards and the Victorian Design Awards.
