The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (abbreviated as RMIT University) is a public research university located in the city of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.[11] Established in 1887 by Francis Ormond,[12] it is the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in Australia, a founding member of the Australian Technology Network (ATN), and a member of Universities Australia (UA).

RMIT began as a night school offering classes in art, science and technology in response to the Industrial Revolution in Australia.[13] It was a private college for more than a hundred years before merging with the Phillip Institute of Technology to become a public university in 1992.[14] It has an enrolment of around 95,000 higher and vocational education students.[15] With an annual revenue of around A$1.5 billion.[15] It is ranked 15th in the World for art and design subjects in the QS World University Rankings.[16]

The main campus of RMIT is situated on the northern edge of the historic Hoddle Grid in the city centre of Melbourne. It has two satellite campuses in the city's northern suburbs of Brunswick and Bundoora and a training site situated on the RAAF Williams base in the western suburb of Point Cook. It also has a training site at Bendigo Airport in the Victorian city of Bendigo and a research site in Hamilton near the Grampians National Park. In Asia, it has two branch campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and a training centre in Da Nang in Vietnam as well as teaching partnerships in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Sri Lanka. In Europe, it has a research and collaboration centre in the Spanish city of Barcelona.[17]
