Studying overseas is one of the biggest and most courageous decision to make on your academic and career journey. There is no better way to understand what it is really like than by listening to those who have walked the path.

Join us at this Peers & Cheers session to celebrate Indian students' success at RMIT. You will hear directly from our students and graduate about their lived experience, from choosing to apply to RMIT, arriving in Melbourne for the first time, making the most out of their studies and life, to shaping their careers. Their stories will enlighten you in one way or another. 

This session will give you first-hand insights, practical advice, and confidence to take your next step with RMIT.
