I‘ve always been into art and, more specifically, film and media.
After realising the impact of visual mediums such as films, TV
commercials and music videos on audiences, and how they
can change our perspectives, I decided that I wanted to be a
part of turning abstract ideas into concrete products. At RMIT,
I can learn from professors who give us creative freedom. I can
also meet friends who share the same interest. Filmmaking is all
about collaboration!

Current student
Before coming to RMIT, I had a vague idea that I liked nice-
looking clothing but I didn’t know much about the fashion
industry. Now, I know how to do almost anything for a small-
scale fashion business, such as market research, marketing
planning, visual merchandising, branding, designing and material
sourcing. RMIT lecturers are great in supporting us to solve our
problems and they have a lot of connections with Vietnamese
and international fashion businesses.

The Japanese major is fun and interactive. You will interact
with not just your classmates but also guest speakers who are
experienced in a variety of industries. We provide opportunities
to engage with the language externally through off-campus
activities in cooperation with our community partners. Learning
with us will help you to more confidently communicate in
Japanese, whether it be for business or leisure, in the future.
