Dear Media 3 and Media 5 incoming students,

We’re pleased to provide the Media Studio offerings for semester 1, 2026. Click the image below to download the booklet and read descriptions of the 14 wonderful Studios we have on offer this semester:

Read on for more information about Studios and preferences!

Submitting your preferences in myTimetable

To submit your Studio preferences in myTimetable, follow these steps:

1. Read the studio descriptions in their entirety provided in the booklet above.
2. Check the studio times listed below and in myTimetable against your other commitments and classes. You need to be able to attend both classes, i.e. PRA01 (2 hrs) and PRA02 (3 hrs) for your studio each week (5 hours total).
3. Based on the studio description booklet and your availability, preference at least 3 studios from when the myTimetable preferencing period opens at 10am on Friday 23 January.

Important notes on Studio preferences

• Studio allocations are NOT affected by when you submit your preferences, so take your time to read the Studio descriptions before you decide. Just make sure to have your preferences submitted before preferencing closes at 5pm on Friday 6 February.
• Because there are nearly 400 students preferencing Studios, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone will be allocated into one of their top preferences. Please be flexible, open, and prepared to bring yourself to any of the Studios available, as they all offer exciting opportunities for you to develop your media learning, conceptually and technically. Adaptability is a highly prized and transferrable skill in the world of media work.
• If necessary you can adjust your allocated Studio on myTimetable from 10am Monday 1 March to 5pm Friday 6 March (end of Week 1). Studio adjustments close sooner than other courses to minimise disruption to everyone’s Studio experience.

For more information please see RMIT’s Guide to timetabling.

Studios and times

Hello… me!

Finally, just a quick note to let you know of a change to the Studio Coordination team for 2026. The wonderful Hannah Brasier is moving on to concentrate on developing some exciting new offerings at RMIT, so she is sadly stepping away from her role as Media Studios Coordinator.

In Hannah’s place, I’ll be joining Alan as the second Media Studios Coordinator from this semester. My name is Bradley J. Dixon, and you may know me from the comedy Studio I’ve led for the past two years, Beyond a Joke, Beyond a Genre. I’m a researcher in media and cinema studies with a particular interest in comedy practice, persona, and performance, and aside from my Studio I’ve taught a number of cinema studies and popular culture courses at RMIT since 2020.

Hannah’s not completely disappearing and will still be around the Media program (including leading the incredible Docathon Studio this semester!), so if you see her around campus don’t forget to thank her for her relentless hard work as Coordinator over the past two years.

If you have any questions about Media Studios (including specific questions about the offerings for semester 1), please email media.studios@rmit.edu.au and we will endeavour to get back to you within 2-3 working days.

Happy reading,
Alan & Bradley
Media Studio Coordinators

Hello to those enrolled in Media 2, Media 3, Media 4, or Media 5 for the upcoming flex semester,

As many of you are eager to allocate your flex studio, we have opened timetable allocations early. You can now login to myTimetable and select your preferred studio for the flex semester.

For all information relating to the Media Studios flex semester, please see our previous post – 2025 Flex Studio Descriptions and Information.

And for those completing their first studio in the flex semester we encourage you to attend the Media Studios Expo, S2 2025 in week 13. Details here.

Best,
Hannah & Alan
Media Studios Coordinators

Hi Media 2, Media 3, Media 4 and Media 5 students enrolled in the Media studios flex semester,

We are pleased to announce the details of the 2025 Flex Term Media Studio Courses. 

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND READ ALL INFORMATION INCLUDING THE BOOKLET WHICH PROVIDES DESCRIPTIONS OF STUDIOS ON OFFER IN THE FLEX SEMESTER.

2025 FLEX DETAILS:

• Each studio course gains 24 points credit and is run intensively over six weeks (ie. double the usual weekly contact hours) in mixed course groups.
• The term dates for 2025 are Monday 27 October – Wednesday 10 December (final assessment due)

SHOULD I ENROL IN A FLEX TERM MEDIA COURSE?

You must enrol in one for these courses if you:

• started the BP221ACC 2.5 year accelerated program in July 2025 and don’t have a course credit for COMM2625 Media 2 OR
• failed a Media studio course and need to repeat it.

Those of you who don’t fit into these categories might like to consider doing a studio to lighten your study load in a future semester.

HOW DO I ENROL?

Log-in to Enrolment Online and then click ‘enrol’:

• Click on UGRD Flexible Term 2025 – ‘continue’ icon
• Click ‘Year One’ and then click the ‘add’ button to one of the course (see above) OR
• Add the course by entering the Class No (see above) into the ‘Class Search’ tab.

You can only enrol into one Media Studio course. Refer to your customised enrolment map before enrolling to ensure you select the correct course. If you are unsure about which course to enrol into, check with your Academic Advisor. If you do not know who this is, raise a ‘course and program advice’ query in the RMIT Connect Student Portal.

WHAT STUDIOS ARE ON OFFER? HOW DO I SELECT MY PREFERENCE AND TIMETABLE?

There are 4 x studios on offer for the flex semester which are described here: Media-Studio-Descriptions-flex-25. Please read through this booklet in its entirety.

The process for allocating studios in the flex semester is different from regular semesters, so please read the following carefully:

1. Please read the descriptions in the Media Studios description book and times for each studio to decide on which studio you’re a) interested in and b) can attend consistently for 10 hours every week for 6-weeks
2. For flex you only select one studio providing there are spaces available
3. Timetable allocation opens for studios on Thursday 16 October at 9am via myTimetable on a first-come-first-served basis, so please have a backup in case your chosen studio is completely allocated. Remember every studio offers exciting and sometimes unexpected opportunities to develop your media skills conceptually and technically. We encourage an attitude of bringing yourself to whichever studio you’re allocated to make the most of the experience.

Media Studios Flex timetable:

In an intensive flex semester, you have 10 hours of classes per week, where the flex studios are timetabled at these times:

Hi Media 2 and Media 4 s2 2025 students,

Monday June 30 marks the day of receiving your allocated studio for semester 2, 2025 – exciting! We are therefore reaching out to provide some important information regarding studio allocation adjustments. Please read through the following carefully!

Allocation adjustment info

• You can adjust your allocated studio only via myTimetable from 10am, Monday 30 June to 5pm Friday 25 July (end of week 1). Please be aware studio adjustments close earlier than other courses to minimise disruption to your studio experience. With five hours per-week you have already missed enough!
• Instructions on reviewing and adjusting your timetable can be found HERE under Step 3: Review and adjust your timetable. Allocation adjustment happens on a first-in, first-served basis, so it’s a good idea to log in early.
• If the studio you would like to switch into is full, you can join the waitlist via clicking the heart next to this studio in myTimetable. See How do I request a place in a full class? in Class timetables FAQ
• There is no guarantee you will be able to switch studios so please attend the studio you are allocated from the beginning of week 1. A reminder that every studio offers exciting and sometimes unexpected opportunities to develop your media skills conceptually and technically. We encourage an attitude of bringing yourself to whichever studio you’re allocated to make the most of the experience.
• Studio adjustments can only be made via myTimetable, where for equity purposes, with nearly 400 students doing a studio, the Media Studio Coordinators cannot perform switches on a case-by-case basis.

Further studio information

• Studio descriptions and info for sem 2, 2025 can be found HERE
• If you are new to studios, you will need a Mediafactory blog, which you can sign up for via this form.
• If you have any questions relating to your specific studio, contact your studio leader. If you have any general Media Studio-specific questions or issues, please use this form and we will reply to your student email within 48 hours. Please note that neither studio leaders or coordinators can perform switches.

Best for now,
Hannah & Alan
Media Studio Coordinators
