You’re invited to meet Dr David Burns (School of Architecture Senior Research Tutor and Lead, Media Studies) in Melbourne for an in-person conversation about studying at the RCA.

2.30pm - Guest arrivals and refreshments

3pm - About the RCA presentation and Q&A

4.30pm - End

We'd love you to join for all parts of the event but if you can only join for part of it, that's fine too.
