About this program

The Master of Media at RMIT University in Melbourne explores media production and theory, focusing on areas such as film, television, emerging media platforms, and content development. During the two-year course, students examine both the creative and practical aspects of media, with guidance from experienced academic and industry professionals. The curriculum blends critical analysis, creative production, and media entrepreneurship so students gain both hands-on and conceptual skills relevant to the Australian and international media sectors.

This degree follows the standard Australian structure, consisting of units of study carrying credit points that total two years of full-time coursework. Content often includes practical studios, screenwriting, digital production, research methods, and media project management. Students usually complete a major capstone project, which may be a significant creative work or research-based media project, offering a chance to build a compelling portfolio for the job market.

Professionally focused, the course often provides opportunities for work-integrated learning, such as internships in Melbourne’s film, television, and digital media industries. Melbourne is a centre for Australian media production, and RMIT’s connections benefit students seeking local experience. The degree suits those looking to work in screen industries, digital production, writing, content development, and media management. It’s also ideal for those moving into media from other fields or aspiring creatives hoping to expand their skills and networks.

English proficiency at the postgraduate level is required, with common standards accepted. International students benefit from post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) and are able to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters.
