A week of events and activities from 7-13 May to celebrate our international student community and showcase the university experience in Melbourne at RMIT.
The inaugural Melbourne International Student Week (MISW) on 7-13 May 2022 is an opportunity to celebrate our international student community and showcase all that a university experience with RMIT in Melbourne offers.
International students and the broader RMIT community can join in on the celebrations through free events and activities across Melbourne’s CBD, RMIT’s campuses and online.
Melbourne International Student Week will kick off with a massive two-day event at Federation Square on 7 and 8 May, featuring plenty of entertainment, food from across the globe, and a range of giveaways.
From 9-13 May, it's RMIT’s turn to host. Get involved on campus through the Sport Experience, Long Table morning tea event, movie screening of Muriel’s Wedding, and plenty more! See below for event details.
If you’re studying from overseas, there are opportunities to get involved in online events too.
Melbourne International Student Week is supported by Study Melbourne, City of Melbourne and Jobs Victoria, and is an initiative of the Committee for Melbourne’s Future Focus Group Program.
