We are eagerly welcoming both our new and returning students back to campus this semester filled with excitement and the biggest events of the year. In this edition of newsletter, you will find:

Last October, RMIT Vietnam welcomed over 400 local and international parents to our Hanoi and Saigon South campuses on the remarkable occasion when new students embark on their Higher Education journey at RMIT. This initiative aims to strengthen the partnership between parents and the university, ensuring students’ wellness and success at RMIT and beyond.
The event provides parents and families of new HE students with valuable insights into student development at RMIT and how to best support students during their transition to university while fostering student’s independence. Additionally, parents enjoyed vibrant campus tours led by RMIT students, offering a glimpse into the dynamic campus life at RMIT.
