This career-oriented degree trains multi-talented communicators with cross-platform skills in the exciting and fast-growing media and communication sector.

Professional communicators are experts in creating traditional and digital content that is both informative and compelling. They build relationships and communicate key brand stories in a creative and interactive way.

Our courses focus on advertising and public relations (PR). Advertisers seek to build the brand of a product or service in order to change consumer behaviour. PR practitioners seek to inform and influence members of the public in order to build a positive opinion of an issue or organisation.

With the communication sector increasingly in need of graduates who have a combination of skills in advertising, PR and digital methods, our program addresses this demand by developing students’ capabilities through up-to-date learning activities.

Hope Unending is a non-profit organisation for anti-human trafficking and anti-child exploitation. We’ve been collaborating with students from the Design Studies program as part of their class projects. Our initial expectation was for them to re-design posters and fliers for our outreach program. However, they were so creative and proactive that they came up with an idea to produce a picture book. I was truly impressed with their ability to think outside of the box.

Part of the program is delivered through two forms of block mode:

four-week block mode, with classes three times per week over four weeks;

eight-week block mode, with classes either three or two times per week over eight weeks.

The program culminates in project work and a three-month internship, giving you the chance to develop a portfolio to impress future employers.

Len Thanh VuIndustry partner Project Manager, Hope Unending

The Design Studies program is as exciting for the lecturers as it is for the students. Through an intensive and focused program, we get to see young designers develop the fundamental skills of design practice. This is supported by an introduction to the theoretical and historical basis of these skills. With this experience as their foundation, they develop the confidence to then identify their own unique and creative identities. We are proud to play a part in this magnificent journey.

These designs were developed as part of the H&M Upcycling Project in the Fashion Materials course. The students used unwanted clothing donated by H&M to design new fashion pieces. The project gave them good insights into the value of fashion sustainability.

If you can see yourself interpreting for a Vietnamese company director on a trade mission to Japan, or translating and writing in Vietnamese for a multinational corporation, this program will set you on the path to your dream job.

Develop a foundational understanding of language in different cultural contexts and then choose to specialise in Japanese or translating and interpreting, or both via a double major.

The Japanese major is taught by Japanese nationals. It combines language skills with experiences of Japanese lifestyle and culture, including engagement with Japanese-speaking industry and community partners.

The Translating and Interpreting major is taught in English and utilises cutting-edge technology, including simultaneous interpreting booths and specialised software. It builds skills and techniques that can immediately be put into practice in the real world.

Jobs are available across government, large and small businesses, and NGOs, especially in areas such as:

The double major prepares graduates with advanced trilingual and cross-cultural skills, providing the opportunity to develop excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, Japanese and Vietnamese.

The program places a strong emphasis on face-to-face learning in the first two years, followed by two Work Integrated Learning (WIL) courses and further cultural studies.

Careers

In the Japanese major, students engage with native Japanese speakers from a diverse range of organisations, including through on-site workshops and off-site company visits. In the Translating and Interpreting major, professional translators and interpreters share their experience through guest lectures. Industry experts also lead a range of simulations.

Yamaha Music Vietnam is the youngest subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation, a world-leading brand in musical instruments. It has been a pleasure to share about Japanese music and culture with RMIT’s students. Our corporate philosophy is: ‘Sharing Passion and Performance’. We focus on creating excitement and inspiration through music in life, education and culture. So it has been great to witness students passionately learning new things. I now realise why RMIT graduates fit so well into international workplaces.

Students in the Translation and Interpretation major are very keen to learn about the many electronic tools which can be used to speed up the translation process. The classroom environment is always encouraging, with students exploring new ways to improve their translation tasks and sharing hands-on experiences. I enjoy helping them see how important the translation and localisation market is and how they can use their new skills and knowledge to participate successfully in it.

During my gap year, I worked with a Japanese educational agency and coordinated with them on charity projects. I had some trouble communicating successfully in Japanese to execute these projects. It was then that I wanted to add Japanese language skills to my capabilities. In one class at RMIT, we had Japanese professionals come to meet with us. The way of learning Japanese in class helps to build my confidence in approaching conversations with Japanese people.
