In 2007, RMIT University proudly celebrates 120 years since we opened our doors on 7 June, 1887, as the Working Men’s College. RMIT University is today one of Australia’s leading educational institutions, with a commitment to applied education, training and research.

From an encouraging intake of 600 students, RMIT University has grown to a global university of more than 63,000 students, including 21,000 international students drawn from more than 100 countries – an institution recognised internationally for the quality of its graduates and the excellence of its research.

What links our past to our future is RMIT University’s 120-year-old commitment to ever higher standards of teaching, learning and research grounded in the needs of the real world.

To celebrate this anniversary, RMIT University will stage a series of events, seminars, and public engagements over the year. We have much to be proud of and want you to share it.

Whether you are a current or former student or staff member, an industry partner or a member of the broader community, RMIT University encourages you to be part of the celebrations.
