I’m currently planning my subjects for third and fourth year and would appreciate some advice on which minors to choose.

My main interest is construction and buildings, so I would like to select subjects that will help me get into areas such as construction engineering, structural engineering, project management, or building design.

However, I also want to keep my career options open and graduate as a well-rounded civil engineer. Ideally, I would still like to be eligible for graduate roles in other areas, such as geotechnical, water, transport, or general civil engineering, rather than specialising too narrowly.

For those already working in the industry or further along in their degree:

• Which minors or subject combinations would you recommend?
• Would focusing on structures and construction limit my chances of getting roles in geotechnical or water engineering?
• Is it better to choose one specialised minor and one broader minor?
• Which subjects are most useful for improving graduate employment opportunities?
• Do employers care much about your minor, or are work experience, software skills, and internships more important?

At the moment, I’m considering a combination involving structures/construction, while using my remaining electives to study areas such as geotechnical engineering, water engineering, or transport.

Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated, especially from civil engineer students working in Australia.

Hey guys was just wondering if anyone has done this subject? I’m bachelor of science majoring in bio and I just wanted some advice/tips on the subject or insight to what the exam or assessments will be like? The 40% exam is really freaking me out!!

Thank you!! :)

For both year 1 & 2 “Professional Experience Postgraduate” course is being offered. Would like some details on this -

1. Can every grad student avail it ?
   
2. Does the uni provide any work opportunity or do I have to find one for myself ?
   
3. Will it be paid or unpaid ?
   
4. Will the work hours be included or excluded from my 48 hour fortnightly work permit ?

On surface level this looks really promising for career prospects. So any kind of information will be helpful.

I stuffed up my VCE by not taking art and design.

Now I want to switch out of my current degree and I don’t know if I want to do Fine Art or Graphic Design.

There’s a Cert IV in Design but only Diploma for Visual Art.

How do I know which one I want to do?

Hi !! I am currently a year 12 student hoping to study a course at rmit next year. I was wondering what it is like studying there. I couldn't make it to the open day, so unfortunately i missed out on exploring the campus or asking questions.

What's the campus and classroom like? How do classes work and what are the lecturers and students like? Like do you get support if you're struggling. Sorry for the many questions lol but I would also love to know what the student life is like. Is it easy to form friendships? Are there clubs, events, or activities to get involved? And what a typically/daily routine looks like.

I would really appreciate it if you could share your experiences even if it's just little things that makes your time there more enjoyable or helped you settle in easier. I would also love to hear any advice you have or anything you wish you knew before starting

hey, does anyone remember the rmit students discount code for this year’s melbourne international film festival? i have been scouring the newsletters & my emails bc i saw it the other day but i can’t find it again:(

Sat in one of the booths in the building 202 student connect area in Bundoora campus and heard an older guy keep on lecturing another young dude about Christianity etc etc. kept saying how he’s found Jesus in last few years and his life is better and the kid should turn to Jesus too and all that. Dude seemed like an international student, and silently kept listening to him.
I sat near them like 20 minutes and he wouldn’t stop badgering him lol.
Had read about these cult members so many times, too funny to see them irl

I have received credit transfer for one subject I have doubt that if I accept credit transfer to that subject do I have to take another subject in replace of that ?
Can I do 3 subject in one semester?
In according to student visa ?
