What makes RMIT science programs special Entry pathways from Diploma and Associate degree run in VET Choice with specialization – a major / minor combination, double degree or integrated Hons Strong hands on component – plenty of practical experience, labs, pilot plant, and field trips All students do an independent project in their final year All student will complete either a work placement or a project based team working component Science / University elective components International OS experience, semester exchange, OS work experience, International Student volunteers (ISV)

All students do a science research project in their final year… Working in teams on real projectsThese activities rehearse skills needed in industry
