RMIT celebrates ongoing relationship with Vietnam

Australia’s Federal Minister for Education, the Honourable Jason Clare MP, was joined by RMIT Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Alec Cameron, and RMIT Vietnam Pro Vice-Chancellor and General Director, Professor Scott Thompson-Whiteside, during a visit to the RMIT Vietnam campuses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi on Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 December.

The visit included an opportunity for the Minister to tour both campuses and engage with staff and students, seeing first-hand the impact of Australian education in-country.

Minister Clare viewed plans for a new state-of-the-art campus in Hanoi that, subject to government approvals, will enable RMIT to expand its offerings and deliver world-class education to more local students.

This investment is part of RMIT’s broader AU$250 million strategic fund for Vietnam, first unveiled in 2023 during an official visit of Australian Prime Minister the Honourable Anthony Albanese MP.

“RMIT University is a leader in transnational and international education, showcasing the best of Australia, while making a positive impact abroad,” Minister Clare said. “It’s great to see first-hand the impact that RMIT has made in Vietnam over the past 25 years and its ongoing commitment to invest for the long-term.”
