Our partnerships in Singapore span learning and teaching, research and student mobility, along with workforce skills solutions and industry engagement
Singapore plays an important role within RMIT’s interconnected regional network and with its ASEAN partners. RMIT’s Singapore story spans four decades and is built around a valued community of longstanding partners, and new collaborations. From fostering research breakthroughs to facilitating student exchange, we embrace a shared commitment to strong outcomes for our community in Singapore and across Southeast Asia. We take pride in our 60,000 plus alumni in and from Singapore, and the diverse paths they have charted, many now serving as leaders in government, civil society, business, and the creative arts.
