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. 

Guest speakers:

  • Preetham Akula: graduated from RMIT in 2024, winner of 2024 Victoria International Education Awards in International Student/Graduate Entrepreneur of the Year, secured USD$1M pre-seed angel investment during his study at RMIT
  • Harneet Kaur: current student in Bachelor of IT, RMIT's Women in STEM ambassador 
  • Tuhina Patil: new student who commenced her study in Semester 1 2026 with lots to share as a new student.

Come along to connect with your future peers, ask questions, and celebrate the stories that make the RMIT community truly global and your time here filfulling and rewarding.

'Portable Stillness' (2025), is an ongoing spatial installation that explores how the making of miniature objects and floating altar-like displays can express memory, collection, and the domestic in transition. Motivated by the instability of diasporic living and continual relocation, Ko Jou Chen constructs handmade structures that carry memory and presence across her shifting environments.

'Slip' is a practice-led research project that explores the poetic qualities of the bluestones that have been discarded in recent construction works around RMIT University. Through the process of moulding and casting these stones into beeswax, Noah Bridger hopes to reimagine Melbourne’s urban landscape.
