If you're into delicious street food, stunning bays, and rich history, then RMIT Vietnam could be perfect for your study abroad experience. RMIT University from Melbourne opened its Vietnamese campus in Ho Chi Minh City in 2000, with a second campus in Hanoi added later, offering Australian degrees in Southeast Asia. The main campus is in Saigon South, a developing district of Ho Chi Minh City (still called Saigon by most locals). You're getting an Australian degree and teaching style—English language, interactive classes, Western approach to learning—but at a fraction of Australian costs and in the heart of one of Asia's most dynamic cities. Programs focus on business, design, engineering, and communications. The campus is modern and purpose-built, the facilities rival those in Australia, and the student body mixes Vietnamese and international students. For international students, RMIT Vietnam offers a fascinating hybrid: Australian education quality in Vietnamese context. Ho Chi Minh City is intense, chaotic, and fascinating—the street food is legendary, the cost of living is incredibly low, and the city is growing so fast you can almost see it change daily. You're experiencing real Vietnamese life (not tourist Vietnam) while getting a degree that's recognized globally. The university has strong support systems for international students, and Vietnam's location makes travel to Cambodia, Thailand, or elsewhere in Southeast Asia cheap and easy. The semester abroad experience includes incredible food, friendly people, and insight into one of Asia's fastest-growing economies.
