Give Australian students the opportunity to expand their horizons and develop a global mindset.
Research shows that an overseas experience is the most powerful way to open students’ minds to the socio-political-cultural realities outside their home country, and at the same build an informed perspective on their own country, as seen from abroad.
But not every student has the financial means to travel – so they miss out on this transformational opportunity.
The RMIT Europe Travel Scholarship Fund has been created to address this. It is designed to allow students from RMIT Australia who would not normally be able to afford to travel to Europe to spend time in the UK, Germany, Spain or France.
Whether they choose to study for a semester at a partner university, or undertake an industry placement, they will be able to engage deeply with the culture of the country they visit.
The skills they learn, and experiences they have, will help shape them into the leaders that we need in an increasingly complex and unequal world.
The Scholarship recognises and celebrates the impact of the first 10 years of RMIT Europe, an innovation hub for research, partnerships, and student experience.
