Master of Education

RMIT typically offers two main intakes for higher education programs: Semester 1, which begins in March, and Semester 2 (midyear), which begins in July. All courses are available for Semester 1, while not all courses are available for the midyear Semester 2 intake. Check the specific Master of Education course page for confirmed intake dates.

Domestic students can apply either through VTAC or directly to RMIT, depending on eligibility. International students apply through RMIT's Application Portal or VTAC (if they have studied an Australian Year 12 or International Baccalaureate in Australia or New Zealand). Applications for most courses are assessed on a rolling basis until all places are filled, so applying early is recommended.

Fees depend on whether you are a domestic or international student. Domestic students may be eligible for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) or may pay full fees, with HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP loans potentially available. International student tuition fees are listed on the RMIT website's tuition fees database. In addition to tuition fees, students are also charged a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) and may incur additional material and administrative fees.

Yes, RMIT awards more than 2,000 scholarships each year to new and continuing students. Scholarships are based on criteria including personal circumstances, financial need, study area and level, research, travel, and academic achievement. Both domestic and international students may be eligible. Visit the RMIT scholarships page to explore available options.

Yes, credit or recognition of prior learning may be available and can reduce the duration of your qualification. Once enrolled, you can apply for credit through RMIT's admissions and credit process, in accordance with RMIT's Admission and Credit Policy. Further details are available on the Pathways section of the relevant program page.

To determine if the Master of Education is available to international students intending to study on a student visa, you should select 'Student type: International' on the RMIT program page. Some programs are available for international students through online study only, which does not qualify for an Australian student visa. International students should also check specific English language requirements and application deadlines, as these may differ from domestic requirements.
