With graduation approaching and deadlines piling up, Professional Communications student Ngoc Linh faced a choice: play it safe or take a chance on unexpected opportunities. What began as a leap of faith into a student competition led to an award, a dream internship, and a valuable lesson in believing in herself, even when the outcome was uncertain.

For Phuong Linh, university success once meant good grades and completed assignments. But stepping beyond her academic routine and getting involved in student clubs opened the door to unexpected experiences, new friendships, and a growing sense of confidence and belonging.

So when an online learning experience does not work for everyone, is the challenge with the learner, or with the way we design the experience?

Selected classrooms, labs and library spaces across RMIT Vietnam will receive new computers this October.

Welcome to the future of semester planning! The newly refreshed interface of myTimetable is officially here.
