Applicants without any relevant prior qualification will be considered if they have at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
If you wish to have industry or employment experience assessed as part of meeting the entry requirements you will need to provide a detailed CV/resume listing previous positions, dates of employment and position responsibilities; a statement from your employer confirming these details (or contact details of employer so RMIT can seek confirmation); and evidence of any relevant professional development undertaken.
International qualifications are assessed for comparability to Australian qualifications according to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
On completion, graduates will be able to:
Sustainable energy is a growth area. As a result, the demand for engineers and scientists with a postgraduate qualification in sustainable energy is growing rapidly.
Within their organisations, graduates take on lead roles in:
Graduates have gone on to work at a range of organisations such as:
