The Master of Urban Design program provides an intensive, multidisciplinary environment for advanced study of contemporary urbanism through design practice. The program advances the role of design research and innovative design practice in confronting the critical issues affecting cities. Speculating about the future of cities in light of increasing environmental, social, industrial and economic change is a primary objective. The program is part of RMIT’s ‘Urban Suite’ initiative, an industry-linked laboratory for urban-based research including Urban Development (School of Property Construction and Project Management, PCPM) and Urban Planning (School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, GUSS). Coursework is integrated across these disciplines and collaborative projects are designed to encourage exchange of disciplinary expertise, information and approaches toward urbanism. In addition to Melbourne-based coursework a series of intensive, international workshops provides a global study experience. Workshops are held at RMIT’s campuses in Vietnam and Spain where you will collaborate with an international network of urban design peers, academics and practitioners. This experience provides a broader professional and cultural context to local urban questions, expanding and sharpening skills for engaging contemporary urbanism as a designer. It also develops a unique understanding and awareness of the mechanisms affecting urban change locally and globally, such as shifts in industry, infrastructure and technology. The program is especially designed for advanced professional development and/or specialisation for architects, landscape architects and other design professionals working with the built environment. Master of Urban Design graduates pursue many professional pathways, including work in private practice, state or local government, or as a consultant to urban planning, property development, or non-profit community organisations. A flexible program structure and combination of face-to-face and online delivery modes is designed to suit working professionals.The final Urban Design Studio (UDS5) project provides a capstone experience. This project will enable you to synthesize and integrate your knowledge gained in previous coursework, connect theory and practice and demonstrate your holistic achievement of the program learning outcomes.

The Master of International Business is designed to prepare you for a career in international corporate, government or not-for-profit organisations. The program builds the knowledge and skills necessary for critical and creative approaches to international business by providing advanced study in contemporary international business theory and practice that is supported by ethical and sustainable business decision-making. It will also provide you with the capacity to address the international regulation of business and critically evaluate the impacts of decisions and practice through case studies and interactive and experiential learning activities. The capstone experience relates to the understanding and analysis of international business from a sustainable perspective.

The MC172 Master of Landscape Architecture provides the highest level of qualification for aspiring landscape architects. The program equips you with the skills to become a leader and innovator in landscape architectural practice. The program explores landscape as a medium that exists at all scales, from micro to macro, from garden to city, from political to infrastructural, from social to economic; and as a medium specific to site, time, and process. The program will engage you profoundly with the discipline of landscape architecture as one that can respond to the challenges of a complex rapidly changing world through innovative design at the juncture of the urban and natural environments. Endowing you with the tools for independent thought, and the ability to question and act, the masters program enables you to extend landscape architectural practice, enhance the creation and publication of landscape architectural knowledge, and augment the discipline’s relevance, community engagement, and leadership capabilities.Design research projects undertaken within the masters program sit at a contemporary and international level. They are pursued as a means of understanding the role and responsibilities of landscape architects at a global level and the precise application of landscape architecture in local situations. Innovative design practice and thinking is developed and extended through a range of advanced design research studios which both contribute to and are informed by contemporary landscape architectural discourse and interrelated fields of history, theory, ecology, and technology. The final year of study centres around the rigorous development and refinement of a significant independently generated design research project. Pursued over the full year, this capstone design research project represents a significant opportunity for you to define and explore your own design research trajectory within the design research studio framework.As a Master of Landscape Architecture graduate you will be prepared for the professional practice of landscape architecture and qualified to apply for accreditation with the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects. This program equips you with an advanced body of knowledge and highly developed skills and abilities to enable you to pursue a career as a landscape architect able to work across local, national and international contexts; and to work independently or as part of a large multidisciplinary team. Career opportunities can be found in the public and private sectors; in government organisations at federal, state and municipal level; and in the offices of landscape architects, architects, planners, urban designers and engineers nationally and internationally. From private gardens, historic estates and productive landscapes through to urban design projects and large open spaces such as parks, nature reserves and territorial systems, the parameters of professional landscape architectural practice are broad.
