For over 30 years, RMIT and SIM have partnered to deliver education programs designed to provide students with an enriching and transformative learning experience, resulting in more than 50,000 graduates.
In 2023, this partnership was further strengthened with the launch of the College of Business and Law’s Bachelor of Business (BBus) in Singapore. This meant that SIM-RMIT students were now able to learn through industry integrated experiences in the same way BBus students had been learning with RMIT in Melbourne and Vietnam since 2022.
To help make the industry learning experience uniquely relevant for students in Singapore, RMIT aimed to partner with businesses that would help students gain practical experience and develop the skills, knowledge and capabilities they need for the real world, within the context of their own local environment.
RMIT is excited to highlight industry partnerships that are helping students in Singapore learn through active, authentic, and applied learning experiences over the next three years.
Read on to see why they’ve decided to partner with RMIT in Singapore and prepare students for their future careers.
Adobe
As part of its established partnership with RMIT, Adobe is continuing to promote digital literacy skills and innovation through SIM, with BBus students receiving access to RMIT’s Adobe Creative Campus.
Abigail Nelson, Education Customer Success Manager at Adobe said that giving tools for the future to RMIT students will help them succeed and excel into their futures.
“We know that jobs of tomorrow don’t yet exist today, so we need to be preparing students, and working with students and institutions like RMIT so that we have solutions for the future,” Ms Nelson said.
