Pathways
Gaining credit for previous study or experience
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit transfer are ways that RMIT recognises applicants’ skills and knowledge gained through formal and informal education and training, work experience, and/or life experience (including volunteer work; committee responsibilities; family duties, hobbies).
Entrance Requirements
To be considered for entrance into this program, you must have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in the discipline of Photography, Games, Animation, Film, Interactive Media or Music Industry. To be eligible to undertake this program, it is expected that you would have achieved a minimum grade of a credit average (or equivalent), in an undergraduate degree at RMIT or other tertiary institution in Australia or overseas. However, in individual cases, experience in the relevant sector since graduation may be taken into consideration.
Equity admissions schemes
RMIT understands that people’s backgrounds and circumstances can affect their access to education and training. RMIT’s equity admissions schemes allow applicants to explain the circumstances that have adversely affected their education, and demonstrate their capacity for future academic success.

National Priority: maximum amount is $4,162—education, nursing, science, mathematics and statistics.
Band 1: maximum amount is $5,201—humanities, behavioural sciences, social studies, clinical psychology, foreign languages, visual and performing arts.
Band 2: maximum amount is $7,412—built environment, computing, health, engineering, surveying and agriculture.
Band 3: maximum amount is $8,677—accounting, administration, economics, commerce, law, dentistry, medicine and veterinary science.
Students who undertake more or less than a full-time study load, or who study courses from a combination of the above categories, will be charged the proportionate student contribution.
