Exploring tech from the inside out

Adrian's love of technology grew out of childhood, and continues to grow as he earns RMIT's Bachelor of IT, online through Open Universities Australia.

From as early as he can remember, Adrian has taken a keen interest in Technology. He’s always on top of the latest tech news – he’s even made a hobby of taking apart laptops and putting them back together, to learn the intricacies of how they physically function. Adrian’s ultimate career goal is to work with artificial intelligence, and everything he’s exploring, whether at uni or on his own time, gets him closer to this dream.

It’s no surprise that Adrian was drawn to a broad and varied degree like RMIT’s Bachelor of Information Technology. The program exposes him to a number of fascinating areas, from system security and attack prevention, to web design and user experience. The standout subject for Adrian is User-Centred Design, which teaches how to design web interfaces that alleviate user frustration, and make navigation through a website or app a smoother and more intuitive experience.

Studying through OUA has been the perfect solution for Adrian, as it allows him to keep working in retail management while he studies. He gave the on-campus experience a try, but it wasn’t a good fit for his lifestyle – so now with the freedom to study on his own terms, he’s in full control and loving every day of it.
