Study tours and short term programs

Study Tours

Study Tours generally take place during the summer holidays or the mid-year break and they are all accompanied by an RMIT staff member. Often they are the result of years of relationship building between RMIT and overseas companies, institutions and governments. As a result, study tours can open doors that are closed to the everyday tourist. They provide an unusual opportunity to rapidly get to know the cultural and business environment of other countries.

There are several study tour models that run within RMIT.

Discipline	Destinations
Accounting	Europe North America
Business – open to all disciplines	Asia China Thailand Vietnam Europe Denmark France Germany North America USA  Canada
Media and Communication	UK Vietnam France Easter Island
Global Studies, Social Science and Planning	Mexico and Colombia Nepal Vietnam Timor Leste Colombia
Fashion and Textile Merchandising	USA China Europe
Graduate School of Business and Law	France  Vietnam

Short Term Programs

Short term programs are often offered during the northern hemisphere summer and are similar to study tours as they generally run for 2-4 weeks. RMIT offers places in partner university programs on an exchange (no fees) or study abroad (tuition fees payable to host) basis.
