The cost of studying at RMIT University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay A$ 46,640 annually, to study in RMIT University.

This business and engineering degree will help propel you towards management roles early in your career. 
 

Mechanical engineering involves the conversion and control of energy and motion in machinery and systems.Mechanical engineers design, analyse and improve products as diverse as refrigerators, washing machines, solar water heaters, pumps, engines, compressors, wind turbines and air-conditioning systems. They apply knowledge of materials, structures, energy and management to the solution of technical problems.Management involves the planning, organising, coordination and direction of the resources of organisations. Managers draw on technical skills as diverse as accounting and organisational behaviour and build on personal abilities including analysis and leadership.
 

As a technical and engineering specialist, your professional opportunities are expansive. As a graduate, you may be able to pursue a career in:
 

• automotive and transport industries
• petrochemical and mineral processing industries
• energy supply
• building services
• defence forces
• government
• general engineering and consultancy organisations.
