The Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing (PWE) at RMIT University is recognised as one of the premier writing programs in Australia and provides excellent training for a wide range of editing and publishing roles. Testimony to this, the teaching team won the 2017 RMIT Vice-chancellor’s Distinguished TeachingAward. PWE is dynamic, inspiring and industry-connected. You are taught by published authors who know their craft intimately and have a passion for nurturing newer writers. Your editing teachers have strong industry credentials; they’ll teach you the essentials, and support you to cut your teeth on real-world publishing projects. You’ll also meet prominent and innovative players in Melbourne’s vibrant publishing scene who visit PWE to share their expertise and knowledge of a fast-changing industry. The student cohort is wonderfully diverse. While their skills, life experience and interests vary, they share a love of reading, writing and creating. Of making and sharing their work and ideas. And this is where community starts. This is an intensive but flexible program, with weekly seminars and 4-hour classes for up to four subjects in 16-week semesters. You can complete in two years of full time study, or work at your own pace as a part-time student. Recognition of prior learning is also available. At this trade school for writers and editors, you’ll learn by doing. Your fiction and nonfiction writing, with an eye to publication, will be complemented by skills in editing, professional writing and digital technologies. You’ll leave ready to build a sustainable freelance practice or in-house career in writing, editing or publishing.
Professional Writing and Editing is also offered at diploma level as a specially designed business writing and workplace communications program. This attracts a broad range of students, often mature age, who want to up-skill in this field, gain a qualification, move into communications or editing roles, or start their own freelance businesses.
