I’m supposed to join RMIT University this July for my Masters program but I’ve suddenly run into a huge problem with my financial documents and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

My studies are mainly funded through my parents’ savings + an education loan from Credila. Before applying, my agents and financial advisors told me that this loan setup would work and be accepted by the university.
But now, after waiting so long in the process, the university has suddenly informed me that they do not accept non-collateral loans. This completely shocked me because if I had known this earlier, I would’ve started another process months ago.

Now the issue is:

Getting a new collateral loan will take at least another 15 days or more

After that I still need to submit everything again

Then visa processing itself may take around 4 weeks

My course starts in July, so this entire delay completely ruins my timeline. I genuinely want to attend this intake and I’ve already invested so much time, effort, and money into this process.
I’m also trying not to put additional financial pressure on my parents because arranging collateral suddenly is not easy at all.

Has anyone faced something similar with RMIT or Australian universities?

Did Credila/non-collateral loans work for anyone?

Is there any workaround, alternative financial proof, or anything I can do at this stage?

Would really appreciate any advice because I’m honestly very stressed and confused right now.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to pursue a Master’s in Business Analytics and come from a non-technical background. I wanted to understand how challenging the course might be for someone like me.

For those who’ve already done or are currently pursuing Business Analytics:

- How steep is the learning curve if you don’t have a coding or tech background?
- What technical skills should I try to learn before starting (Python, SQL, statistics, etc.)?
- How math-heavy is the course?
- Any specific tools, concepts, or software I should get familiar with beforehand?
- What do you wish you had known before starting?

I’d really appreciate any honest advice, experiences, or tips to prepare better.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!
I’m planning to join RMIT University for the July 2026 intake for a Master’s in Business Analytics, and I wanted to hear from current students or alumni about their experience.

A bit about me:
I come from a non-technical/commerce-related background, with some exposure to basic analytics concepts, but I’m not very strong in programming yet. I’m currently trying to prepare in advance so the transition is smoother.

I had a few questions:
General RMIT experience:
• How has your overall experience at RMIT been (academics, faculty, student life)?
• How intensive are master’s programs in terms of workload and assignments?
• Are classes more practical, theoretical, or a mix of both?
• Any common challenges for international students?

Hey everyone!

I’m planning for the July 2026 intake at RMIT (Master’s in Business Analytics) and wanted some quick insights.

I come from a non-technical/commerce background and am trying to prepare in advance.

• How has your experience at RMIT been overall?
• How technical is Business Analytics (coding, stats, etc.)
• What should I learn before starting (tools, languages, concepts)?
• Any tips for someone from a non-tech background?

Would really appreciate any advice or things you wish you knew before starting!

Thanks :)

Hey everyone!

I’m an incoming international student for the July 2026 intake at RMIT (Master’s in Business Analytics) and I’m currently looking for places + potential roommates.

A bit about what I’m looking for:

• Female roommates only
• Preferably pure vegetarian / vegetarian household
• Non-smokers only
• Clean, respectful, and easy to live with

For places , I’m aiming for:
• A place close to RMIT City campus or well-connected via public transport
• Areas like CBD, Carlton, Fitzroy, etc.
• Budget: around AUD 1500/month

I’m open to:
• Teaming up with people to find a place together
• Or joining an existing flat if there’s a spot available

If you’re also joining RMIT around July 2026 and have similar preferences, feel free to comment or DM — would love to connect and figure something out together!

Also open to any suggestions on good areas or platforms to find such housing.

Thanks in advance :)
