Rmit university Review

Likey they remove the hurdles this year but plagiarism is worse in RMIT and the Academic Performance Improvement Plan is worse then ever before now

It's hard to rate a Uni, let alone compare to other universities. Most people only go to one Uni in their life, and they all usually hate it and say the other ones are better - hence a rating isn't easy to give.
Overall I'd say RMIT is pretty good and they do try to give students a good experience paired with good facilities. True enough, RMIT's internet does experience problems and drop-outs, but managing internet for thousands of people at a time isn't easy... some buildings really need an upgrade too, and RMIT is *slowly* making their way to them.
Their city placement is ideal for staff and students (unless you want to drive there and pay crazy parking fees), and there are plenty of facilities and study spaces.

I think my main issue with RMIT is the quality of staff they have. I've been in many classes where the teacher is teaching incorrect content, or is teaching in a way noone can understand, or had teachers that are so dull and boring it's impossible to stay awake for an hour lecture, let alone 2 hours...
That being said, I've also had some fantastic lecturers/tutors that I've loved and wish I could have for every class.
In general though, I think the admins need to go to each class and assess it for teaching quality.

A very welcoming and well equipped campus. Great facilities with encouraging staff.

Does any one completed their masters in computer science in RMIT?
please tell your experience.

This school s daily graduation ceremony is very special, and then walk around the city center, domineering.

For any of my fellow architecture fans I highly recommend going and checking out the stunning buildings that belong to RMIT. You won t regret it!

Clearly the creators of the enrolment system didn't do good in their education! Takes a day or two to complete a simple enrolment process. When you do get an offer there is more work involved to actually finalize your enrolment, 10 stages to be precise. I went there in person to get help and imidiatly I'm faced by a machine "have you put your name on the tablet" he said. There was only three people and I arrived earlier than them and was standing to be served.
I actually did try to enter my name there, but the tablet had issues so I simply stood there and waited. Makes me think how do they treat international folks if they treat the locals like that!
If you serve your prospective students like that I wonder how you will serve them during study!?????
First impression is all it takes to secure or ruin future business!

I was planning to apply for food science and technology in rmit..but i was really surprised by all the negative comments..is it that bad?

Great university for business and engineering, terrific location, right in the heart of Melbourne. Enjoyed my time there and met so many great people.

Only cares about profit/fees doesn t help or offer any assistance properly.

I love studying here! 3 years down, 1 to go but it is really great learning experience and so much fun!

Good university and friendly staff finally got my degree looking forward to my future

Great uni in the city although the building are spread out everywhere!

Doesn't live up to its name as an institute of technology. For a start, if you want to enrol - one will log on to the website feeling frustrated about a system that is not user friendly, call customer support - no answer. The application page doesn't even allow interaction for troubleshooting.

Expect some disappointment in the staff communication if you really need to be here.

Good location for in the city. Very international student friendly.

Yes it's a great university. Practical curiculum, friendly teachers and unforgettable memory here.

Sir, i want to do my Masters from AUS. but i am confused.
can anyone tell me about RMIT. is it good university?

great atmosphere for studies even if you aren't a RMIT student.

Spend a year here doing the Analytics course. Enjoyed doing some amazing projects, they helped learning a lot of skills. The life in Melbourne was an amazing experience.

Melbourne City campus is located in the cosmopolitan heart of the world s most liveable city and is surrounded by public transport, restaurants, cafes, theatres, galleries and parks. Our City campus has 45,000 students studying in across all major interest areas. The campus has been an integral part of Melbourne's character for more than one hundred years.

great Uni, high quality engineering courses are delivered over there

Good university if you are a frog

rmit rmit

Infrastructure is a really nice, Teachers are very supportive and education system is also very nice. Great infra. Great Faculty. Great Environment...I've graduated from here. The graduate ceremony was splendid!

A GOOD BALANCE BETWEEN THEORY AND PRACTICAL WORK SKILLS
RMIT is one of Australia's largest universities offering a large range of courses across all disciplines.
The university has campuses in the city focussed on Swanston Street (the largest), Brunswick (fashion design) and Bundoora (also quite large).
It has a strong footprint in Vietnam (campuses in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi) as well as Singapore (large number of students on a shared campus with SIM university), Indonesia, Hong Kong and Spain.
It is a very old (by Australian standards) university and has grown by absorbing other tertiary institutions over the years.
It is well regarded for its "real world" approach to research and teaching, making its graduates highly sought after by employers not wanting to "retrain" their new employees.
RMIT dominates the cityscape in the northern CBD- Carlton part of Melbourne creating a truly urban campus with close links with the city's centres of commerce and industry.

Education is okay not enough learning content for the course, library online is inadequate. Not enough indoor study spaces at the campus, library always full. Services are but slow especially waiting times in person and phone. Enrollment process could be better. Campus is not easy to get around. The timetable needs more flexibility. This place is not quite as friendly. Lack of support and don't trust vending machines.

RMIT is really efficient at processing your application and giving rejection/offer sort of stuff. However, the refund process is tough. Taking more than 7 weeks to process. Be careful when you're starting out uni and paying deposit sort of thing.

Studying here provides some opportunities for work and there are good members of faculty. However the university scalps you with exorbitant prices, no amenities and the use of student spaces for private events.
Studying at this university is a constant slap in the face as they charge student fees and then don't follow up with the resources you have paid for. For example you pay for a subject but the material is delivered entirely through group work. You also pay fees to study and then the university gets paid from the government. Ripping you off unnecessarily.

The professors especially in the capstone subjects of essential courses like Project Management are not well versed with the use of English language, rmit academic grading policies and the basic rules of
project management (from PMBOK)

Mostly good teachers. Organisation average at best.

i'm willing to join this university but due to their miss management and late replies, i lost the first intake of 2016, now i tried to defer my semester so that i can receive a new offer and can pay me Fee, still there is no reply from the student admission department. Otherwise i love this university and i would love to join.

Racism and hateful lecturers. Didn t know hate crimes against religions and race based on skin color is okay in this private institution.

Cares way more about profit than quality of life for its students, and the quality of the "education" they provide. Don't go here to learn, come to pay them to supply you with a degree that might get you a job....or might not. Oh and the internships they say everyone gets at RMIT...need to be supplied by the student, they don';t help you get one or give you a direction to go. If you don't get an internship then you cant graduate. They inflate the numbers of internships by making it compulsory.

The library is very bad no place for the students to sit peacefully

If you have a problem and you need to change something or ask something do not bother. I wanted to make my payments and I tried doing them over the net via my credit card but I had trouble and it was not allowing me. I called. Guess how long I was put on the queue for... more than one hour.. It ironic because that's how long you wait at centerlink but there you get paid. Here you are paying them and they keep you on hold for hours. If they are very busy they can obviously employee other people that need work especially at this time. Yea I hate it.

Ever improving accessibility and resources, decent educators.

Excellent University for acquiring job skills, lovely people , positive atmosphere.I transferred to this Uni with my friend from Monash University.

Excellent university with good networks and academics

Said they would approve my studies & then reversed that decision with red tape even though I was told that having a degree would help. Both organisations wasted my time. I shall simply try & get my doctorate elsewhere as RMIT is a joke. They lied to me about sorting it out. Really disappointing.

Australia is my loving place ..... rmit university is where iam going to study....just loved it...

Great place to study in a friendly and welcoming environment.

I havent even started studying at the uni and it is so cumbersome to just fill their application. I am an international student and have had to visit the uni 3-4 times just for minor application submission queries! Reason - Nobody ever picks up the phone at the reception I feel like cancelling my application now, if this is how the admin is at the uni. Disappointed!

Perfection. Greatest engineering program in the world.

Don't even bother with RMIT. They really only care about profits. If you are studying online they are interactive and helpful up until the census date, then when they have the money they just don't care anymore. There is zero guidance. zero support. It's another scam the same thing Evocca pulled.

The worst university I've studied at! The teaching staff I had were great, but the university is way behind other universities who use technology to better support students. RMIT needs to become more customer/student orientated!

RMIT is the one Of the Best choice Of a Nepalese students for studying emerging technology in this modern generation.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY

RMIT is the worst university I have been to, I did my undergrad at Monash University and never had any issues. I would advise any prospective RMIT students to reconsider.

I've only done 1 semester of my Masters at RMIT and I've had more issues than my 3.5 years at Monash... To name a few issues, RMIT lecturers/tutors do not return many tests or assignments, so if you get a low mark or even a good mark, you'll never know what questions you got wrong, what mistakes you made and how to improve for next time/or for your exam.

How can we learn from our mistakes, if we don't know what our mistakes are? I emailed one of my lecturer's asking if I could come pick up my tests to review my work and learn from any mistakes I made, the lecturer replied it is university policy that he keeps the test so he couldnt help me. What kind of ridiculous policy is that?

Second issue is lecturers don't reply your emails and if they do they are very unhelpful. I emailed one of my lecturers 2 weeks ago, she still hasn't replied and I have no idea how else to contact her, she doesn't pick up her calls either...

Thirdly RMIT Connect might as well not exist, they do not reply to emails and are usually very unhelpful. I sent them an email a week ago, when they had not replied, I called them and they promised they'd reply within 24 hrs, I still haven't received a reply, its been 4 days now which is way more 24hrs in case you can't count RMIT...

Also employees at RMIT Connect are clueless about how to help, once I was on the phone for more than an hour because no one could figure out what happened to my school fees deposit.. Another time they kept transferring me to different people for ages because they weren't sure how to explain my course structure.

Guess what? After ages on the phone, they confirmed the electives I could take. After my semester was done, I was told the electives where not on my list of approved electives... and that it might affect my graduation. I had never been so angry, firstly I was never told of any list with approved electives even though I specifically asked if there was a list/map of electives for my course.

I could go on and on about the issues RMIT has but that could take days...

If you look at RMIT reviews on Product Review Australia and University Reviews Australia, you will notice majority are negative reviews (a few reviews even support my above points).

An absolute poor excuse for a university. The enrolment process is confusing and no one properly explains how things work at RMIT. The teachers I had were incompetent, biased, self-righteous and unfair on the students. They don't explain tasks properly and have the nerve to fail you and try and make you out to be a bad student rather than admit their failings and laziness as educators. And in the course I was doing (a BA in Creative Writing), they actually expected you to come in on Saturdays and Anzac Day. These guys are a bunch of overrated creeps. Anyone who says that this is a good school are either lying or have been brainwashed. Save your money and get your education from the university of life instead.

The building is modern, all rooms are clean and large, nice to study here

Very cool architecture. The venue served so well for the conference.

I went to the 2015 open day and I'm very impressed. They have great facilities, great lecturers and the staff there are kind and friendly and will answer all your questions. The location is great as well and is close to Melbourne Central.
I can see myself doing a course here in the future.

Recieved an offer letter from this University...it is well known for its architecture course but not sure about masters in civil engineering after reading the reviews.

Most of the staff in IT are not qualified and there isn't even enough space in library to accommodate students.

Fantastic university, I m in my third year (final year), the teaching quality has been amazing, lecturers and tutors genuinely care about their students.

Attended an International Conference. Provided good facilities and central location was an additional feature.

Can get very crowded at times, but a nice group of buildings with lots of space for study. Great access to the rest of the city.

Best Tafe School in Melbourne. You are on your own here.

Love it. Meet so many new friends and learn so many things here. Highly recommend studying here.

High recommend RMTI. Lots my friends went here and had good experience

Fantastic facilities for a university student. Bit expensive but witnessed why. Best uni in the city

Very cool architecture. The venue served so well for the conference. Great facilities and clean toilets.

Worst uni ever. Rude staff members that kick people out of uni for no reason

Big and organized university. Amazing faculty and management. Awesome!

The RMIT support line is complete absolute trash, I spent 2 hours today trying to enquire about the status of my post graduate application at their university and all their incompetent support system managed to do is to put me with a bunch of wrong people who kept transferring me to other wrong people who eventually put me back to the options menu which is where I started. One of the staff who I got transferred to even hang edup on me as I have been transferred to her too many times...and that was after me waiting patiently for 2 hours on the queue. As a Monash student, Monash support despite its flaws had NEVER BEEN THIS INCOMPETENT and today's experience has made me seriously doubt the quality of RMIT as a whole.

Don't do engineering here some of the lecturers are horrid, I've heard the design courses are better

If you are wanting to study Chemistry at University ,I would advise you to go to RMIT .It has the best lecturers and an impressive laboratory of equipment and excellent tuition. This is the best learning centre you could possibly yet

RMIT Academic Street project is an interconnected series of streets, walkways, terraces and bridges linking existing buildings while providing opportunities for meeting and relaxing.

Full of youth and knowledge. And cigarette smoke. Can't avoid the smoke

Horrible teachers with teaching skills when they dont know h to delivery the materials to students. Hard to ask for help, always grumpy and easy to get annoyed. Assignments were unrelated. Teachers even not allow you to put your name down on the roll if you want to leave earlier 15 minutes ( i am local). Racist behaviour toward english second language students.

Enjoyed my time here. Great staff and facilities. Loved being in the middle of the city!
