Australian university RMIT continues to expand in Asia: it has received approval to build a new campus in Hanoi and to expand its Saigon South campus in Ho Chi Minh City. The university plans to increase the number of programs and disciplines, has already received the national Investment Registration Certificate, and the Saigon South campus has been recognized as a Foreign Branch Campus (FBC). RMIT Vietnam became the first foreign branch to officially receive this status under the new higher education regulations.
The project has already received support from both Vietnamese and Australian authorities. According to RMIT's estimates, opening a new campus in Hanoi will triple its educational capacity, allowing more students to pursue their studies.
The existing Saigon South campus will be modernized: new buildings and infrastructure will be added, improving conditions for teaching, learning, and student life.
RMIT has been operating in Vietnam for more than 25 years, having educated over 28,500 students who now work in business, technology, the creative industries, and sustainability. For 2026, the branch offers 19 undergraduate programs as well as postgraduate courses.
