Phillip Institute of Technology

Phillip Institute of Technology (PIT) was a tertiary college in northern Melbourne, from 6 January 1982 to 30 June 1992 at which time the school integrated as part of RMIT University.

Coburg Campus was closed in 1997, with the site since serving as a series of secondary and primary schools.

In 1973, the diploma component of the Institute moved to part of the Bundoora Police Paddock, closing its engineering faculty.

The trade qualification portion of the school remained in Preston, and is now a major part of Melbourne Polytechnic.
