RMIT University
The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, which trades as RMIT University, is a public research university in the city of Melbourne in the state of Victoria, Australia, founded in 1887 and converted into a university by statute in 1992.皇家墨尔本理工大学(法定名称 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology,校名 RMIT University)是位于澳大利亚维多利亚州墨尔本市的公立研究型大学,1887 年创办,1992 年经法定程序转为大学。
The institution was proposed by Francis Ormond and established by him with the Victorian government, the Trades Hall Council and others, so it is the seventh-oldest higher education provider in Australia, a founding member of the Australian Technology Network, and it ranked 119th in the 2027 QS World University Rankings with a score of 64.2.该校由弗朗西斯·奥蒙德倡议,与维多利亚州政府、行业工会理事会等共同创办,是澳大利亚第七古老的高等教育机构,也是澳大利亚技术网络的创始成员之一,在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中以 64.2 分位列第 119。
History
- Planning began in 1881, when Ormond modelled the college on the Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution, now a constituent college of the University of London, on Brighton College of Art, now the University of Brighton, on the Royal College of Art and on the Working Men's College of London.筹划始于 1881 年,奥蒙德参照了伯贝克科学与文学机构(现为伦敦大学伯贝克学院)、布赖顿艺术学院(现为布莱顿大学)、皇家艺术学院与伦敦工人学院等校。
- Ormond donated 5,000 pounds towards the foundation, was supported in the Victorian Parliament by Charles Pearson and in the Melbourne Trades Hall by William Emmett Murphy, and the Victorian government gave the site at Bowen Street and La Trobe Street opposite the Melbourne Public Library.奥蒙德为建校捐款 5,000 英镑,在维多利亚州议会获查尔斯·皮尔森支持、在墨尔本行业工会获威廉·埃米特·墨菲支持,州政府则拨出博文街与拉筹伯街交角、墨尔本公共图书馆对面地块作为校址。
- The college opened on 4 June 1887 with a gala ceremony at the Melbourne Town Hall and took 320 enrolments on its first night, becoming the fifth tertiary education provider in Victoria after the Melbourne Athenaeum of 1839, the University of Melbourne of 1853, the Ballarat School of Mines of 1870 and the Bendigo School of Mines of 1873.学院于 1887 年 6 月 4 日在墨尔本市政厅举行盛大典礼揭幕,首夜即招收 320 名学生,成为维多利亚州第五所高等教育机构,先于它的是 1839 年的墨尔本雅典娜学院、1853 年的墨尔本大学、1870 年的巴拉瑞特矿业学校与 1873 年的本迪戈矿业学校。
- The institution opened as a night school for art, science and technology, in the words of its founder especially to working men, which meant that classes ran in the evening around the schedules of Melbourne's trades.学校以夜校形式开办,教授艺术、科学与技术,用创办者的话说尤其是为劳动准备的,课程排在晚间,以便配合墨尔本各行业工人的作息。
- In 1904 it was incorporated under the Companies Act as a private college, and between the turn of the century and the 1930s it expanded across the neighbouring Old Melbourne Gaol and built new schools of art, engineering and radio.1904 年该校依《公司法》注册为私立学院,自世纪之交至 1930 年代向毗邻的老墨尔本监狱一侧扩张,并新建了艺术、工程与无线电三所分校。
- The college first contributed to the Australian war effort by training returned servicemen after the First World War, and following a petition by students it officially became the Melbourne Technical College in 1934.学校在一战后以培训退伍军人首次参与澳大利亚的战争动员,并应学生请愿于 1934 年正式更名为墨尔本技术学院。
- During the Second World War it trained a sixth of the country's military personnel, including the majority of Royal Australian Air Force communications officers, trained 2,000 civilians in munitions manufacturing and was commissioned to make parts for the Beaufort bomber.二战期间,学校培训了全国六分之一的军事人员,其中包括澳大利亚皇家空军通信军官中的大多数,并培训 2,000 名平民从事弹药制造,还受委托生产「海 Beaufort」轰炸机部件。
- In 1954 it became the first Australian tertiary education provider to be granted royal patronage by Elizabeth II, and was renamed the Royal Melbourne Technical College, remaining today the only Australian higher education institution entitled to the prefix Royal.1954 年,学校成为澳大利亚首所获伊丽莎白二世授予王室赞助的高等教育机构,并更名为皇家墨尔本技术学院,至今仍是澳大利亚唯一冠以「皇家」前缀的高教机构。
- Its name was officially changed to the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 1960, and during the middle decades of the century it restructured itself as a provider of both general higher and vocational education and pioneered the dual sector model in Australia.1960 年校名正式改为皇家墨尔本理工学院,世纪中叶该校正被改造为兼具高等与职业教育职能的机构,在澳大利亚开创了双轨办学模式。
- It began engaging with Southeast Asia under the Australian government's Colombo Plan, and in 1979 the neighbouring Emily McPherson College of Domestic Economy joined the institute, extending teaching into home economics and social work.学校在澳大利亚政府「科伦坡计划」框架下开始与东南亚互动,1979 年相邻的艾米莉·麦克弗森家政学院并入该院,把教学扩展到家政与社会工作领域。
- After merging with the Phillip Institute of Technology on 1 July 1992 it became a public university by act of the Victorian government under the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Act 1992, and it began trading as RMIT University.1992 年 7 月 1 日与菲利普理工学院合并后,学校依据维多利亚州政府的《1992 年皇家墨尔本理工学院法》成为公立大学,并开始以 RMIT University 之名对外运营。
- Its founding statute has since been replaced, because the public university created by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Act 1992 continues to operate under the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Act 2010, and the name RMIT University is a registered business name and trademark rather than the statutory title.学校的创设法典此后已被替换,1992 年《皇家墨尔本理工学院法》所设立的公立大学依 2010 年的《皇家墨尔本理工学院法》继续运作,而「RMIT University」这一校名是注册商号与商标,并非法定名称。
- During the 1990s the university expanded rapidly, taking in the Melbourne College of Decoration and Design in 1993, the Melbourne College of Printing and Graphic Arts in 1995, opening its first radial campus at Bundoora in 1995 and buying the Brunswick campus of the Melbourne Institute of Textiles in 1999.1990 年代学校快速扩张,1993 年并入墨尔本装饰与设计学院,1995 年并入墨尔本印刷与平面艺术学院,同年在邦杜拉开设首个放射状校区,1999 年购入墨尔本纺织学院位于布伦斯班的校区。
- In 1998 the Vietnamese government invited it to become the country's first foreign-owned university, and the first international branch opened in Ho Chi Minh City in 2001 with a second in Hanoi in 2004.1998 年越南政府邀请该校成为该国首所外资拥有的大学,2001 年首个国际分校在胡志明市开办,2004 年第二个分校在河内开办。
- In 2013 it established a coordinating centre in Barcelona, which among other things supports a double master's degree in architecture tied to the reconstruction of the basilica of Antoni Gaudi, extending its European presence.2013 年学校在巴塞罗那设立协调中心,除其他项目外还支持与安东尼·高迪重建圣家堂相关的建筑学双硕士学位,欧洲布局由此延伸。
- Royal patronage makes the chancellor the ceremonial visitor, the vice-chancellor and president the chief executive, and the council of twenty-one members responsible for the general direction and superintendence of the university.王室赞助制度下,校监为礼仪性莅临者,副校长兼校长为首席执行官,由二十一名成员组成的理事会负责学校的总体方向与监督。
- The academic board that approves degrees has up to forty-six members, of whom thirty-four must be elected by staff and students, so a large share of academic authority is held by the university community itself.负责批准学位的学术委员会最多由四十六人组成,其中三十四人须由教职员与学生选举产生,校内社群因此掌握相当比例的学术权力。
- The institution now runs seventeen academic schools grouped into the College of Business and Law, the College of Design and Social Context, the STEM College and the College of Vocational Education, split between a higher education division and a vocational education and training division.学校现设十七个院系,编入商业与法学院、设计与社会情境学院、STEM 学院与职业教育学院四个建制单位,分属高等教育学部与职业教育培训学部。
- Its business arm includes RMIT Training, which owns Informit, described as the largest online database of research from Australia and the Asia-Pacific, together with RMIT University Press and RMIT English Worldwide.学校下设的 RMIT Training 拥有 Informit(被称为全澳及亚太地区最大的研究类在线数据库)、RMIT 大学出版社与 RMIT English Worldwide 等实体。
Academics
- In 2023 the university reported 91,544 students, of whom 54,422 were undergraduates and 16,111 postgraduates split between 13,553 coursework and 2,558 research students, with a further 14,809 vocational education students and 4,355 students in subdegree, enabling and non-award programmes.2023 年学校共有学生 91,544 人,其中本科 54,422 人、研究生 16,111 人(课程型 13,553 人、研究型 2,558 人),另有职业教育学生 14,809 人与副学位、预科及无学位课程学生 4,355 人。
- The 2023 staff total was 11,492 and the budget 1.62 billion Australian dollars, so the university runs one of the largest vocational systems in Australia on top of its degree provision, a structure that no comparable-sized European institution has.2023 年教职员工总数为 11,492 人,预算为 16.2 亿澳元,学校在学位教育之外还运行着澳大利亚规模最大的职业教育体系之一,这是同等规模的欧洲大学所没有的体制。
- The seventeen schools include accounting and information systems and supply chain, economics, finance and marketing, graduate business and law, and management under the College of Business and Law.十七个院系中,商业与法学院下设会计与信息系统及供应链、经济金融与市场、研究生商业与法学、以及管理等专业。
- The College of Design and Social Context contains architecture and urban design, art, design, education, fashion and textiles, global urban and social studies, media and communication, and property, construction and project management.设计与社会情境学院下设建筑与城市设计、艺术、设计、教育、服装与纺织、全球城市与社会研究、媒体与传播,以及房地产、建设与项目管理等专业。
- The STEM College covers computing technologies, engineering, health and biomedical sciences, and science, while the College of Vocational Education covers business, design and technology, media, social care, engineering technology, nursing and the trades.STEM 学院涵盖计算技术、工程、健康与生物医学以及科学,职业教育学院则覆盖商贸、设计与技术、媒体、社会照护、工程技术、护理与各类技工课程。
- Art and design is the strongest subject area, where the university was placed fifteenth in the world in the QS World University Rankings, and the RMIT School of Art, the School of Design and the School of Fashion and Textiles sit inside one college.艺术与设计是最强的学科领域,学校在 QS 世界大学排名中位列全球第 15,艺术学院、设计学院与服装纺织学院同属一个建制单位。
- Architecture and urban design is a second pillar, tied to the Barcelona centre and its double degree with partners on the reconstruction of the Gaudi basilica, and design is reinforced by the public art programme of the School of Art in the wider city.建筑与城市设计是第二大支柱,与巴塞罗那中心及其面向高迪教堂重建的双学位项目相衔接,设计学科又由艺术学院面向全城的公共艺术计划加以强化。
- Media and communication, computing technologies and engineering carry the technology side, with engineering built around the old Kernot engineering school on the city campus and the aerospace engineering programme run from the Williamstown air base.媒体与传播、计算技术与工程构成学校的技术侧,工程教育以墨尔本市校区的旧克诺特工程楼为基地,航空航天工程专业则在威廉斯敦空军基地开展。
- RMIT focuses its research on applied and outcome-related work in design, technology, health, globalisation and sustainability, run through a research and innovation portfolio of comparable size to its colleges and more than fifty research centres operating inside individual schools.学校把科研集中在设计、技术、健康、全球化与可持续等应用与成果导向领域,由与各学院规模相当的科研与创新组合统筹,各院系内部另设有五十多个研究中心独立运作。
- The Potter Rural Community Research Centre at the regional site in Hamilton, three hundred kilometres west of the city campus, is the named platform for rural and regional research in a global context.位于汉密尔顿校区(距墨尔本市校区三百公里)的波特乡村社区研究中心,是该校在全球化背景下开展乡村与区域研究的具体平台。
- The university library network has four locations, of which Swanston Library in Building 8 on the city campus is the largest and one of the five largest libraries in Melbourne, while RMIT Gallery in the Storey Hall keeps the Lindsay Edwards art collection and the gold and silver of the W. E. Macmillan collection.学校图书馆网络共有四处,其中位于墨尔本市校区 8 号楼的斯旺斯顿图书馆规模最大,跻身墨尔本五大图书馆之列;斯陀里楼内的 RMIT 美术馆收藏林赛·爱德华兹美术藏品以及 W. E. 麦克米伦金银器收藏。
- Research is also published through the RMIT research repository, an open access database indexed by Google Scholar, the National Library of Australia and WorldCat, which held more than 19,000 records as of March 2013.研究成果还通过 RMIT 研究存储库发布,这是一个被谷歌学术、澳大利亚国家图书馆与 WorldCat 收录的开放获取数据库,截至 2013 年 3 月已收录一万九千余条记录。
- Its venture platform is unusually industrial for a university, since more than 300 start-ups were founded in the RMIT environment between 2008 and 2018 and RMIT Training owns Informit, a long-running commercial publisher of research databases.学校的创业平台在高校中偏产业化,2008 至 2018 年间 RMIT 生态内创立了三百多家初创企业,其信息技术子公司 Informit 本身就是长期经营的商业出版机构。
- Teaching is delivered across two divisions, higher education and vocational education and training, so that technical certificates, diplomas, bachelor degrees and doctorates can be followed by the same student in one registration system.教学由高等教育与职业教育培训两个学部承担,学生可在同一注册系统内先后修读技术证书、文凭、本科与博士学位课程。
- OpenAlex records 84,930 works and 4,318,137 citations for the institution, a research volume delivered by a body that teaches ninety thousand students, so publication per member of academic staff is comparatively modest.OpenAlex 为该校记录论文 84,930 篇、被引 4,318,137 次,而这一科研量由一所教学规模达九万人的大学完成,人均发文量因此相对有限。
Campus
- The main campus sits in the Melbourne city centre on the northern edge of the historic Hoddle Grid, had grown to eighty-seven buildings by 2016, and spreads across six city blocks covering about 720,000 square metres without any perimeter wall.主校区位于墨尔本市中心、处在历史上有名的霍德尔方格网北缘,至 2016 年已扩展为八十七栋建筑,横跨六个街区、面积约 720,000 平方米,且没有围墙。
- Its edges are La Trobe Street to the south, Elizabeth Street to the south-east, Swanston Street to the north-east joined by Franklin Street, Queensberry Street to the north, Lygon Street to the north-west and Russell Street to the south-west, which gives it direct frontage on two tram corridors and on the Melbourne Central railway station.校区南侧临拉筹伯街,东南临伊丽莎白街,东北临斯旺斯顿街并由富兰克林街连接,北临皇后街,西北临莱贡街,西南临拉塞尔街,因此直接临两条有轨电车线路与墨尔本中心火车站。
- Much of the campus occupies the city's former justice precinct, where the east wing cell block of the Old Melbourne Gaol dating from 1854 survives as a museum and its chapel and gatehouse of 1860 are used as a multi-faith chapel for the university.校区大部分位于旧时的司法区,1854 年落成的老墨尔本监狱东翼牢房保存至今并作博物馆使用,1860 年的礼拜堂与门楼则被改作校内的多宗教礼拜空间。
- The site of the former gaol hospital is now a landscaped courtyard known as Alumni Courtyard, the Melbourne City Watchhouse of 1904 operates as a museum for the National Trust of Australia, and the Melbourne Magistrates' Court of 1914 now houses university administration.原监狱医院旧址现已改造为名为校友庭院(Alumni Courtyard)的景观广场,1904 年的墨尔本市政警察署现由澳大利亚国家信托会作博物馆运营,1914 年的墨尔本治安法院则成了学校行政用房。
- Among the named buildings are the original Storey Hall of 1887, Forresters' Hall of 1888, the Capitol Theatre of 1924, the Emily McPherson College of 1927, the Storey Hall annex of 1995, the green-brained Singer Building of 2010, the Design Hub of 2011 and the Swanston Academic Building of 2012.校区内具名建筑包括 1887 年的斯陀里楼旧部、1888 年的互济会楼、1924 年的首都剧院、1927 年的艾米莉·麦克弗森学院、1995 年的斯陀里楼附楼、2010 年的「绿脑」胜家楼、2011 年的设计中心与 2012 年的斯旺斯顿教学大楼。

- The Brunswick campus, six kilometres from the city centre, was acquired in 1999 for the vocational design schools after nearly fifty years as the Melbourne Institute of Textiles, and RMIT also runs flight training from the Royal Australian Air Force Williams base at Point Cook and a research site at Hamilton.布伦斯班校区距市中心六公里,1999 年购入并用于职业教育的设计专业,此前该处作为墨尔本纺织学院校址近五十年;学校还在 Point Cook 的澳大利亚皇家空军威廉斯基地开展飞行训练,并在汉密尔顿设有研究点。
- Outside Australia it operates two campuses in Vietnam at Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, a training centre at Da Nang, a coordinating centre in Barcelona, and programmes accredited with partners in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Sri Lanka.在澳大利亚之外,学校在越南设有胡志明市与河内两个校区,在岘港设有培训中心,在巴塞罗那设有协调中心,并与中国、香港、印度尼西亚、新加坡及斯里兰卡的伙伴机构合作办学与认证。
Reputation
- The 2027 QS World University Rankings place the university 119th in the world with a score of 64.2, and in the 2026 edition it stood 125th and tenth nationally, so the tables credit a modest improvement.2027 年 QS 世界大学排名将该校列为全球第 119 位,综合得分 64.2;在 2026 年版中该校位列第 125 位、全国第 10,两张榜单反映出的一定是温和上升。
- The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027 place it 239th jointly, which is a marked improvement on the 251 to 300 band it occupied in the 2026 edition.《泰晤士高等教育》2027 年世界大学排名将其并列第 239 位,相比 2026 年版所处的 251 至 300 名区间有明显提升。
- The Best Global Universities ranking of US News for 2026 and 2027 places the university 198th, and the 2025 Academic Ranking of World Universities put it in the 301 to 400 band and the 2024 CWTS Leiden Ranking 239th.《美国新闻与世界报道》2026 至 2027 年最佳全球大学排名将学校列于第 198 位,2025 年软科世界大学排名将其置于 301 至 400 名区间,2024 年莱顿排名则列第 239 位。
- In art and design subjects the university was placed fifteenth in the world in the QS World University Rankings, which is its single strongest international result and the reason it appears far higher in subject tables than in overall ones.在艺术与设计学科上,该校在 QS 世界大学排名中位列全球第 15,这是它最强的单项国际成绩,也是它在学科榜上的位次远高于综合榜的原因。
- The Australian Financial Review Best Universities Ranking of 2025 placed the university tied nineteenth nationally, and the 2024 aggregate ranking of the three major league tables put it 199th in the world and fourteenth at home.2025 年《澳大利亚金融评论》最佳大学排名将学校并列全国第 19,2024 年三大榜单综合排名则将其列为全球第 199、国内第 14。
- In the Australian government student outcomes survey for 2023, graduates reported 84.7 percent overall employer satisfaction, and full-time employment rates were 71.8 percent for undergraduates and 98 percent for postgraduates, with starting salaries of 66,800 and 98,000 Australian dollars.2023 年澳大利亚政府学生成果调查中,毕业生总体雇主满意度为百分之八十四点七,本科生与研究生的全职就业率分别为百分之七十一点八与百分之九十八,起薪分别为 66,800 澳元与 98,000 澳元。
- In the QS graduate employability survey of 2011 the university ranked fifty-first in the world for graduate employability, and it counted about 280,000 graduates living in 130 countries, so its reputation rests on industry links rather than on a large research output.2011 年 QS 毕业生就业力调查中该校列全球第 51,约有 280,000 名毕业生分布在 130 个国家,其声誉更多建立在产业联系而非庞大科研产出之上。
- OpenAlex records 84,930 works and 4,318,137 citations, roughly fifty-one citations per paper, which sits below the leading research universities because teaching ninety thousand students and running vocational programmes absorb most academic capacity.OpenAlex 为该校记录论文 84,930 篇、被引 4,318,137 次,每篇约获引 51 次,低于研究型强校,因为九万人的教学规模与职业教育体系占用了大部分学术产能。
- The university has no Nobel laureate among its alumni or staff, and its highest individual distinction is the Academy Award for Best Cinematography won by the cinematographer Greig Fraser in 2019, alongside Olympic gold medals won by graduates such as Lydia Lassila and James Tomkins.该校校友与教职员工中没有诺贝尔奖得主,个人层面的最高荣誉是摄影师格雷格·弗雷泽于 2019 年获得的奥斯卡最佳摄影奖,另有莉迪娅·拉西拉与詹姆斯·汤姆金斯等毕业生夺得的奥运金牌。

- Athletics runs under the name Redbacks, and the university mascot is Rupert the Redback Spider, an Australian native species that gives the sporting teams and the student union a shared identity.校队以「Redbacks」为名,吉祥物是澳洲本土物种「鲁珀特跳蛛」,这一形象让运动队与学生会共享同一套身份标识。
- The spiritual centre occupies the 1860 chapel of the Old Melbourne Gaol inside the city campus and houses chaplaincy services for Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim and integral traditions, so that worship on campus is multi-faith by design.校内的精神中心设于墨尔本市校区老监狱 1860 年的礼拜堂内,提供佛教、基督教、犹太教、伊斯兰教与整体主义传统的牧灵服务,校园内的礼拜自设计上便是多信仰的。
