Vietnam

RMIT Vietnam was established in 2000 and has grown into a leading university in the region, with two well-equipped campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.

The programs and courses we offer are identical to those offered at RMIT University, Melbourne. RMIT Vietnam students are awarded an RMIT Melbourne degree on satisfactory completion of their program of studies.

Our campuses and international partners around the world are subject to the same stringent quality checks and standards, so you can be sure that wherever in the world you study an RMIT program you’ll be receiving the highest quality education.

We have over 7,000 students enrolled at our two Vietnam campuses, with numbers steadily increasing.
