Internships are more than a line on your CV, they are journeys of self-discovery, resilience, and growth. Like any adventure, they come with moments of triumph and times of challenge. But every experience is a chance to learn and grow.

What started as a goal on paper transformed into months of growth, connection, and self-discovery in one of the world’s most inspiring student cities.

None of my biggest learning moments came from lectures or a perfect roadmap. They came from saying yes to things I didn’t plan.

When I started university, I brought with me a ball of yarn, a trembling hand holding the hook, and curious eyes. What started as a hobby became my compass, guiding me toward the path of growth, connection, and marking self-identity at RMIT.

In June 2025, four students from RMIT Vietnam made history by winning the HSBC Business Case Competition Asia Pacific, the first-ever victory for a Vietnamese university. Yet, the real story lies in the transformation they experienced on the way there. This is a story of relentless preparation, emotional breakthroughs, and the courage to grow beyond limits.

Transitioning from university to the working world comes with unknowns, filled with questions, challenges, and surprises. Four final-year RMIT students share their eye-opening experiences and what it takes to bridge the gap from student to young professionals.

Whether you’re sharing a bowl of pho, grabbing a banh mi, or just sipping coffee, eating together creates a relaxed space for conversation. Sharing a meal is one of the easiest and most natural ways to break the ice and start building your uni-crew.

In a world full of choices, competition, and constant change, how do you find the path that’s truly right for you? At RMIT, students are learning to harness self-awareness as the foundation for building an authentic personal brand that aligns with their values, strengths, and aspirations.
