The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Vietnam (abbreviated as RMIT University Vietnam; Vietnamese: Đại học RMIT Việt Nam) is the Vietnamese branch of the Australian university Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. It has three campuses located in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Danang.

RMIT was the first completely foreign-owned university granted permission to operate in Vietnam. Since its establishment in 2000, it has won 19 Golden Dragon Awards from the Vietnamese Government for excellence in education.

History

In 1998, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia was invited by the Vietnamese government to establish a fully foreign-owned university in Vietnam. In 2000, it was granted a licence by the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment to deliver undergraduate and postgraduate education, training and research.

In 2001, it purchased and restored a 19th-century French Colonial building and grounds in District 3, Ho Chi Minh City. The building, located on Pham Ngoc Thach Street, is informally referred to as "the Castle" by students. The site remains a radial site of the present Ho Chi Minh City campus. In 2004, it established a second campus in Hanoi.

The present Ho Chi Minh City campus is located in the Phu My Hung area of the South Saigon development in District 7. The first academic buildings on the large purpose-built campus opened in 2005. In 2011, its recreation complex and residential centres opened.

In 2018 it opened its Foreign Language Training Centre in Danang. The centre provides English language programs.

RMIT has been awarded 19 Golden Dragon Awards for its "excellence in education" by the Vietnamese Ministry of Trade since 2003. It has also been awarded by the Australian Chamber of Commerce for its "innovation and community service" as well as received Certificates of Merit from the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee and the Hanoi Government. In 2008, RMIT International University received a Certificate of Merit from the prime minister of Vietnam, Nguyen Tan Dung, for its "educational achievements contributing to the social and economic development of Vietnam". In 2011, RMIT University Vietnam received Certificate of Merit from Vietnam Minister of Education and Training.
