  •  Your IELTS test result must still be within its two-year validity period on the start date of your intended intake semester in 2026.
• Have applied for admission to one of the following programs at RMIT Vietnam and meet the program entry requirements (conditional offer may be considered): 
  • Bachelor of Design (Digital Media)
  • Bachelor of Design Studies
  • Bachelor of Fashion (Enterprise)
  • Bachelor of Digital Film and Video
  • Bachelor of Design (Games)
    
• Be commencing study in the respective Bachelor’s degree program in a semester in 2026. If successful, the scholarship will only apply from semester 3 2026 (October 2026).
• Be able to demonstrate outstanding creativity through the digital portfolio.
• For Vietnamese high school transcripts that do not include a yearly cumulative GPA, the Scholarships Office will calculate the GPA for each year by averaging the GPA of the subjects assessed on the 10-point scale. Subjects assessed as pass/fail will not be included in the calculation.

The scholarship will be awarded on merit and take into account past academic performance and strength of the digital portfolio.

Applicants for this scholarship should submit 2-3 examples of your work in digital format. These give you an added opportunity to demonstrate your skills, interests and strengths in producing creative, design or digital media content. All portfolio works must be original and created by the candidate and presented in English.

These allow students who are creatively excellent but may not have achieved equally high standards or grades in their traditional academic school subjects to present their creative work.

Your Digital Portfolio should be carefully assembled and focused on such a way as to tell us who you are and to demonstrate – through your work - your passion for creativity and design. It should not be a collection of unrelated works and the emphasis should be on quality rather than quantity.

Only online submissions will be accepted; portfolios submitted in any other format or method will not be reviewed.

Your Digital Portfolio may include some of the following

• Graphic design or photographic work;
• Fashion drawings, sketchbooks or photographs of garments or prototypes;
• Video, animation or motion work;
• Sound design, remixes, or music composition;
• Interactive work (ie. websites, apps, games);
• Synopsis of a game that you are passionate about creating (including the concept, idea, genre and relevant drawings/designs etc.);
• Any other example of your chosen creative works in digital format.

Most importantly, your Digital Portfolio should be structured and/or narrated to explain exactly the work you are showing. It should not be left to the viewer to try and work out what the video contains. Ultimately, your digital portfolio should portray you and your creative accomplishments, as worthy of an RMIT scholarship for creative excellence.

Format

• The Digital Portfolio may be submitted as either one video file (maximum 3 minutes), or a collection of digital files with a total size of 30 MB or less.
• Your portfolio must include a cover page (Digital Portfolio) and clearly display your name.
• Upload your Digital Portfolio to an online platform or repository (e.g., Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, etc.) and submit only one accessible link (not restricted or limited access).
