The benefits of an RMIT education have become clear not just when students leave the University but during their time at RMIT as well. Through placements, internships, cross-disciplinary collaborations, and sectoral showcases, students gain confidence and skills, deepen their awareness of the business environment and build valuable networks they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Our students have left the RMIT legacy in national and international competitions, including but not limited to CFA Research Challenge, Social Innovation Challenge, Vietnam Young Logistics Talent, Vietnam Young Lions, Young Stars AD Competition and Circular Campus Programme.
RMIT graduates are readily employable and go out into the world with their enriched experience, qualifications and confidence. They deploy their knowledge and experience in major industries locally including media and communication, IT, telecoms and consulting services, finance, tourism and hospitality, and more. Some work overseas and enhance the grid of global connections. Many hold senior and management positions and are the change makers in business, not-for-profit sector, government, education and industry.
Moving forward, RMIT University aims at creating positive impact and addressing shared challenges and opportunities for the Asia Pacific region. How does it look like in action?
Our obligation as a higher education institution is to the communities we serve. Universities are here to contribute to solving the biggest global challenges and we have such a big role to play in achieving the outcomes and finding solutions to those challenges.
As RMIT looks to its future, we are committed to setting a direction for RMIT in Vietnam to continue to be a prominent leader in technology, design and enterprise for learners, researchers and the community. We aim to embrace a greater focus, extending thought leadership, educational offerings and partnerships into Southeast Asia to drive regional impact around shared challenges and themes. There are so many opportunities and challenges, and we're privileged to be in Vietnam and the region.
Our first action is to position RMIT as Vietnam’s leading international university for Southeast Asia which means RMIT will be a prominent leader in technology, design and enterprise, digital transformation, sustainable development and partnering with industry.
RMIT Vietnam aims to be the front door for Australia to understand and engage with Southeast Asia.
Our role is to attract ideas, experts and talent, and to foster strong connections in relation to Australia, Vietnam and the region.
RMIT Vietnam is committed to continuing to contribute to Vietnam’s future social and workforce needs particularly in the areas of Industry 4.0, the digital economy, sustainable development and creative industries.
Right now, we are addressing RMIT’s scale into the future, including new investments into physical locations to enable the University to serve the growing needs of Vietnam.
Although I am excited to work with industry, business, government and other partners, it is wonderful to see our students buzzing on campus, how hard they study, how their parents are so proud of them, and the vibrant, positive and optimistic country that Vietnam is.
