Founded in Melbourne in 1887, RMIT was driven by the contribution it could make to the community. This remains a central part of our identity wherever we operate.
Our decision to open campuses in Vietnam was motivated by the same desire. In 2000, RMIT Vietnam established itself and eventually welcomed its first cohort in early 2001.
From day one, we want to make an impactful contribution to Vietnam, especially through the lives of the young people we help shape.
Two decades on, with over 7,000 students and 14,500 alumni, our impact in Vietnam is long-lasting.
The event brought together leaders from Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training, the Australian Government, RMIT University, Australia’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), the Victorian Government, as well as universities from across Vietnam.
We are constantly thinking of ways to be more eco-friendly towards our planet. Now it’s your turn.

In celebrating our 20-year anniversary in Vietnam, the University will plant 20 trees on SGS campus. Each tree planted will symbolise one year of RMIT's journey in Vietnam, with plaques commemorating our key milestones in the respective years.
