RMIT is famous. However for photography, there are other universities in Australia which are offering the same quality course as well. They are as follows (in no particular order):

Charles Sturt University (www.csu.edu.au)

Griffith Uni (www.griffith.edu.au)

James Cook Uni (www.jcu.edu.au)

Curtin Uni (www.curtin.edu.au)

Edith Cowan Uni (www.ecu.edu.au)

These universities are part of only 42 (soon to be 43) universities in Australia, all of them are fully accredited and they are tightly regulated, therefore the quality and recognition of their graduates are equal from wherever university you are studying from. The most important thing is you have to READ the course information carefully, since some courses may have the same name but different content.

So to narrow down your selection, this is what I suggest:

1. Where do you want to study in? Melbourne is 2nd biggest city in Australia (Sydney’s the biggest) so living cost will be a little higher compare to Wagga-Wagga, Brisbane or Perth.

2. Read and compare the courses from the other uni as well.

Hope this helps. I suggest that if there’s an Australian education exhibition nearby, visit & talk to them to get the feeling abt the uni. Maybe you can even got a chance to speak with the alumni during the exhibition, although the information maybe somewhat biased. E-mail me at mikegun(at)studentfirst.com.au if you have more questions abt study in Australia. Good luck for your study and welcome to Australia 🙂
