RMIT has just announced that the university is now ranked 18th globally for universities under 50 years and is listed among the world’s top 30 universities with a technological orientation.

Vice-Chancellor and President Martin Bean CBE said he was delighted that RMIT’s standing as a leader in education, research and collaboration continued to improve globally.

“Our focus on pursuing research with impact; our commitment to industry connectivity, employer partnerships, and practical student experiences; and our unwavering dedication to preparing our students for the future of work is truly being recognized on a global scale,” he said.

According to Martin, the whole world has been dealing with the unexpected challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which requests a change in the approach for not only to survive but sustainable development as well. The same with RMIT since the way it collaborates and connects to address shared challenges and capture new opportunities "is more important than ever”, he added.

While RMIT held its spot at eighth in Australia for employer reputation, it was also ranked 39th in East Asia and the Pacific and 130th globally.

These results follow a strong performance in the  QS Graduate Employability rankings released in September 2019, where RMIT rose to 77th globally.
