It focuses on technology, design, and enterprise and offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and vocational programs, including professional diplomas and certificates.

RMIT operates across multiple campuses in Australia and overseas, with its largest campus in Melbourne's central business district, a campus in Brunswick, and international campuses in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, as well as RMIT Europe based in Barcelona, Spain.

RMIT traces its origins to the Working Men's College of Melbourne, founded in 1887 to provide affordable education to working people. It later received royal patronage and was renamed the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. During the late 20th century, the institution transformed into a university, adopting the current name, RMIT University.

Programs span arts, design, architecture, engineering, information technology, science, business, and communications. The university conducts research across applied sciences, technology, design, and social sciences, with a focus on industry collaboration and outcomes that support skilled workforce development.

RMIT is part of the Australian higher education landscape as a public university with international reach, servicing a diverse student body and participating in international partnerships and mobility programs.
