All Higher Education students commencing after Semester 2 2026 are required to complete the mandatory Consent First module.
Starting at RMIT Vietnam is an important and exciting moment and we're committed to providing you with the information, support and resources you need to succeed from day one.
We aim to create a safe place for students and staff, where everyone feels included, respected and supported.
That’s why, all higher education students at RMIT's Vietnam campuses are required to complete a free, self-paced online module called Consent First.
About the modules
Mandatory | Approx. 45 minutes
Consent First is an engaging online module that uses film and interactive quizzes to explore topics associated with sex education, relationships, and consent. It also offers helpful tips for how to support someone who has experienced sexual harm or violence. Higher Education (Undergraduate, Postgraduate and HDR) students may pause and resume the module and can access emotional support through Safer Community.
