As the international campus of RMIT University Melbourne with 138 years of history in Australia, over the past 25 years, since its establishment in 2000 at the invitation of the Vietnamese Government, RMIT University Vietnam has worked with many generations of lecturers, students, staff, parents, partners... to build a great educational legacy in Vietnam. RMIT's legacy lies not only in the impressive numbers: more than 12,000 students currently studying, 25,500 alumni making their mark all over the world, but also in the profound changes in the thinking, learning and living of many generations of students.
RMIT Vietnam’s 25-year legacy is not limited to the contributions of a few individuals, but is built on the daily efforts of all those who contribute to changing the mindset of students through education. RMIT’s legacy is contained in the growth journey of each individual, in the positive changes they create for the community.
From RMIT, many stories have been written, many marks have been left and many legacies have been passed on in their own ways. It could be thought-provoking lectures and valuable advice from lecturers, out-of-class experiences and soft skills lessons from support staff, the mentoring spirit of alumni returning to the school to guide their juniors, or the unconditional support from parents to their children…
At RMIT, lecturers are not just transmitters of knowledge, but also creators of learning environments that help students develop comprehensively: from professional competence to emotional intelligence, from global thinking to cultural connection. It is an educational legacy that is formed through each class, each conversation, each student's journey to maturity.
During his 8 years working in Vietnam, he, along with all lecturers at RMIT Vietnam, has witnessed the strong transformation of students through a student-centered learning environment where values such as imagination, empathy and global thinking are nurtured every day.
The legacy of RMIT Vietnam's lecturers is generations of students confidently stepping out into the world , carrying with them knowledge, emotions and aspirations to create positive change for the community.
"More than a degree, university heritage is also a way of life" is shared by former RMIT student - Le Tuan Anh, currently a training expert and career consultant. His job allows him to meet many young people who graduated with high scores, but are confused when facing a crossroads in life. He feels lucky because more than 10 years ago, the "cradle" RMIT showed him how to see the world, see himself, and make decisions for himself.
Tuan Anh pointed out 4 important things he learned at RMIT, which established the foundation for how he wants to live and define his career today. These are: Flexible learning pathways for each student to be independent and responsible for their choices; Open teaching methods without standard answers to foster lifelong learning attitudes; Multicultural environment and student exchange network with more than 200 international partner schools to create a global mindset - suitable for the local; and Value system that respects all personal identities to self-define success and design a career.
Over the past 25 years, RMIT has nurtured 25,500 graduates, including many generations of families who have grown up here. Together with many other parents, they have watched their children grow up, leave their mark and build a bright future from their studies at RMIT.
For Ms. Duong Thu Giang, Nguyen Giang Ngan's parent, RMIT is also a bridge for mother and daughter to have the opportunity to understand each other better, not to let anyone change the other, but to work together to write small "legacies" for the family. Ms. Giang said that, as a journalist with more than 30 years of experience, she is the one who inspires her daughter's career, but still learns a lot of new knowledge and experiences from her daughter.
At RMIT, the journey of student growth does not only take place in the classroom. Behind every step forward, every time students confidently step out into the world, is the silent companionship of the staff - people who are not called lecturers, but play an indispensable role in creating a comprehensive learning environment.
From student life activities, skill development programs, mentoring, coaching for international competitions, to connecting with a network of more than 2,000 businesses, they are the ones who create conditions for students to develop their thinking, skills and life skills. Even though they do not appear on the podium, they are always there when students need them, quietly cultivating each seed of potential.
For Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Linh, Student Activities Manager, who has been with students for many years through community development activities, what she cherishes most is witnessing their transformation: from shy new students, standing in front of a crowd for the first time, to confident leaders, organizing professional events like a real agency in more than 60 student clubs in the school.
It is this presence – patient, dedicated – that has contributed to creating an educational environment where students learn not just to work, but to live a meaningful life. It is a quiet, but lasting legacy written every day by the people at RMIT.
That legacy will continue to be written in the years to come to realize the mission of preparing many generations of Vietnamese students to always be ready to confidently welcome the future.
