Academic programs at RMIT Vietnam have continued to grow rapidly, both in terms of enrolled students and also in terms of the number of academic programs being offered.

During 2007 and 2008, the range of undergraduate degree programs almost doubled.

Building on the existing base in Commerce (both Diploma and Bachelor programs), and Technology (Information Technology and Multimedia Design), further undergraduate degree programs have been launched in Accountancy, Business Information Systems, Professional Communication, Marketing and Economics and Finance.

Existing postgraduate programs in business administration (MBA and Executive MBA) continue to grow in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. A new Master of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Engineering) has just been introduced at the Saigon South Campus. The first cohort of students will start their study in October 2010.

To better coordinate and integrate the initiatives across all of these areas – and others for the future, including plans for an increased research emphasis over time – RMIT Vietnam has structured its academic programs into three Centres: a Centre for Commerce and Management, a Centre for Technology, and a Centre for Communication and Design.

These Centres will work to achieve greater synergies between the different academic programs located within them, and seek to provide academic and research leadership in relevant discipline areas in Vietnam and the Asian region in years to come.

With more than 1,000 RMIT Vietnam graduates now in the workforce, and building rapidly, the number and quality of these graduates can be seen to be having an increasingly positive impact on the organisations in which they work - and on Vietnam’s continuing development.

Key strengths of RMIT Vietnam graduates have been identified as: having an international and multicultural orientation, enjoying superior problem solving skills (exhibiting both creativity and practicality), and exhibiting strong teamwork and leadership capabilities.

Across all of the growing range of academic programs at RMIT Vietnam, theseattributes continue to be fostered, along with traditional concepts of academic excellence.

RMIT Vietnam continues to attract  academic staff from around the world, with people from more than 25 countries currently serving at the two campuses. This continues to be one of the major attractions to new students, who wish to benefit from exposure to a broad range of approaches and influences in their education.

Approximately 10 per cent of students come from outside of Vietnam, from countries including Australia, Algeria, Britain, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Korea, Libya, Malaysia, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the USA.
