In the days leading up to the 2022 Graduation Ceremony, international student Vidita sat down to reflect on her time at RMIT, and the people, skills and learning experiences that have empowered her for what's next. Learn more about student life and where RMIT can take you.
My name is Vidita Sharma and I am from India, a state called Punjab. And I came here to study a Bachelor of Communication, specialising in journalism from RMIT University.
I love Melbourne. This is something I keep telling my family and my parents as well.
I feel like I have had the opportunity to build myself from scratch here.
Like, be it making contacts, making friends, doing work or internships or anything. Like obviously it's been with the help of the people around me and the internships that RMIT, the staff, my tutors, my lecturers and everyone has helped me get is some of the best I would say.
I had the opportunity to work at ABC, which is, I think a big platform, a big company in Australia and worldwide as well.
Some of the qualities or skills that I've learned throughout these three years. One of them would be, a big one would be leadership. I think a lot of the roles that RMIT offered me included leadership.
Everyone who was involved in those opportunities, they were always so supportive, being like, okay, you can do this, yeah yeah yeah, and I think that's how I learned that I can actually, you know, lead a team or be good at this.
My tutors have been my everything throughout these three years. They have been my rock, because I don't think I would have had better or supportive staff than what RMIT has offered me.
My first year I was, I was a part of like the hockey team. There was something called the SYN Media Student Youth Network, I was a part of that.
Then I got enrolled with RUSU and the Indian Club and everything, because I think there are so many communities that RMIT offers. So you have a lot of options to, you know, pick and choose from.
So I would say just, yeah, go for it. My dad's support has been the biggest factor for me reaching the end of my degree, I would say, and my dad's support obviously, and my sister's and my mum's.
The main reason why I chose journalism is because of my mum. After high school, I was just going to, you know, do something, literally just like try to figure out something in medical, maybe something like a doctor, you know?
That's what I was thinking. But my mum was like, you're pretty decent at public speaking. Why don't you try journalism?
And I was like, maybe, and that's how I got into it. But I think the motivation wise, throughout these three years, my dad has been my biggest supporter, be it the internships that I've done, be it the involvement with RMIT, the different opportunities that I've gotten.
I think he was the first person I used to call and be like, look, this is what I've done. Look, I'm on RMIT’s page, look I'm on their Instagram. And I used to receive like big paragraphs on WhatsApp from him, like I'm so proud of you, look at this, and I think those were the things that pushed me through these three years, and I'm super grateful for that.
Them seeing my life here is something I think I was looking forward to, and they're enjoying it as well, yeah.
There's too many emotions. There's so many emotions because just before coming here, I was taking photos in my gown, the graduation gown, and I was like all smiling and like, oh my god, I'm graduating.
My sister was like, okay, pose like this, pose like that. I'm like, wait, let this moment sink in. Because, yeah, I’m not ready to leave this place yet. So I was a little nervous. It was nerve wracking, I was shivering, I would say, before I stepped onto the stage.
But once I got to the stage, I greeted the person who was giving me the testamur and I think it went so smoothly and yeah, it just, it felt like a dream come true.
When I was on the stage, just looking at everyone, all my classmates cheering for me. So that was, that was yeah, that was just wonderful.
I think I'm at a point where I can call Melbourne home and I mean, India is going to be my home always, but a different place in a different country, I would say Melbourne is my home.
So after graduation I'm looking for a job now. So I've been applying to a couple of places and yeah, I think the next steps for me is trying to get a job.
I'm not yet looking at Masters, but I probably will in a year or two, look at Masters once I've got some experience in my hand and you know, I've worked somewhere.
So I think that's the plan for now. But who knows how it might change.
From student support services and work placements to lifelong friendships, 2022 graduate Raffa made the most of his time as an international student at RMIT. Hailing from Indonesia, the proud alum sat down to reflect on his learning experience. Learn more about student life and where RMIT can take you.
My name is Raffa. I'm from the Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication).
I love the city of Melbourne and so the fact that RMIT has a good reputation, a degree that was really unique and I actually want to study from and in this amazing city.
I also hear this big word when I think of Melbourne, which is culture. Not just in RMIT, you get to meet lots of people from different cultures around Melbourne.
So I was coming into Australia, really not knowing anyone, but when I first came in, it was just amazing. The student body, all the students, all of the tutors as well. They were just very supportive.
I think I built my support system here from like from the ground up, actually, I would say. Support from my mum, she's been over and beyond, basically. I call her every day.
She's basically the constant support resource that I really need every day. So the fact that I can present to her, kind of and just show her that, oh, you know, I made it and it couldn’t really be achieved without her help as well.
I want to make my mum proud, so yeah, it means the world to me that she'll be there and looking at me.
I think I've changed a lot. The past Raffa that first came into RMIT, it was back in 2018, that was like, forever ago. So yeah, it was a different, it's a different Raffa than who I am now.
People from back home can really see the change. When I first started going abroad to afterwards. When I come back home, they would just say, oh Raffa, you have this new energy buzzing around you and you can actually see it.
So yeah, I would say I'm pretty proud of my personal growth as well. I love being active in university, so in my time at the university, I was, I wanted to try all of these different stuff.
I remember the first year I did mentoring, it's called RMIT Kirrip. So RMIT Kirrip is basically mentoring for new international students.
That was pretty, pretty amazing. Yeah, I met most of my best friends there actually, and I was involved in the RMIT University Student Union as well.
I did volunteering at first, I did volunteering at events, activities like free lunches, free breakfast, the good times.
That was when I first started and I volunteered at the front counter as well. And then in second year I moved on to clubs and societies, so I was a part of the Indonesian Student Association.
I was actually the Vice president, which the position really made me grow as a person I would say, being a leader and all.
And then on the final year, I actually got to work with RMIT. It's for my media and communications internship. So it's part of the degree. So yeah, it's been pretty cool. I'm finally graduating from RMIT, it’ll be like a look back of all my past achievements and see that everything has come to the graduation and to that moment right there.
The energy is so buzzing, there's so many people. The ceremony was beyond amazing, beyond, beyond really amazing.
There are so many performances from various cultures. They were waving the Indonesian flag and other flags as well. When I came up on the stage, I was conscious of my mum and my brother looking at me.
So I was just like looking at the camera and just like waving because I know my mum is out there in the stands and is recording with her phone.
So I did my best to just be like, Oh, mum, I'm here and look I made it. So yeah, it means the world. So what's next for me? So actually I have got a new job, which actually RMIT helped facilitate. So RMIT created this event, It's called like a speed interviews event, kind of. It's like straight from employers to students and you can just talk for like 15 minutes.
I remember just like talking to a lot of the employers and putting my resume and then, yeah, one called me back and now I'm starting next week.
So yeah, that's what's next for me.
Master of Marketing graduate Vinisha shares why she chose to study at RMIT in Australia and how her internship at RMIT led to a permanent position within the marketing team at Medibank in Melbourne.
[Start transcript]
Hi, I'm Vinisha, and I just recently graduated from my Master of Marketing from RMIT. What attracted me to study in Australia was because of the cost effectiveness and the university rankings. I also heard a lot of good reviews from students here. During my Medibank internship, I worked with the overseas partnerships team, designing communication material for international students like myself. The great thing about doing this internship was I met so many people and got to work on so many projects.
My hope for Vinisha has already come true. She has been successful in securing a permanent position at Medibank in a marketing team, and I'm so proud of her she's done so well.
RMIT has prepared myself for a career in Australia and I feel a lot more confident. I've made these industry connections and I've learned so much from my lecturers and really understood the foundations of it.

Hear from international student Michelle about why she chose to study her Bachelor of Fashion (Design) in Australia and the clubs she's involved with at RMIT.
[Start of transcript]
Okay, so my name is Michelle, a lot of people call me Mi Su. And I'm from Indonesia.
I'm majoring in Bachelor of Fashion Design. So as you can guess, my campus is at Brunswick, and it's a lovely campus.
I had two options at that time. It's either Singapore, Australia, but as I get to know their culture, and you know, a little, a lot of research, I decided to just go to Australia.
And also it's farther from Indonesia so I thought I'll gain more experience anyway.
Currently, I'm in the PPIA RMIT. Not a lot of people know what's that. But it's a student, Indonesian Student Association, where a lot of, as you know from the name, Indonesians meet up, bond with each other. We have a lot of different events. I'm also the president of PPIA RMIT. So I suggest you all if you're Indonesian students, or even if you're not, and you're interested in knowing the Indonesian culture, you can definitely go to our website to ppia-rmit.com. Okay, and just contact me and have a question.

[Lily]
Welcome everyone, my name is Lily and today I’m going to give you a tour of RMIT’s city campus.
Being right in the heart of Melbourne, there are a ton of trains and trams they can take you where you want to be. Right next to our city campus, we have the beautiful State Library, where you can come study and get inspired.
[Music continues]
Melbourne is super well known for its food and coffee scene and there are a ton of places to eat and drink on campus. So, you’ll never run out of places to try. And Standing Room is one of my favourites. Thank you.
If you’re looking for advice on applying to study, pathways to different programs or just important days to remember, then Study at RMIT is the place to go.
RMIT was founded in 1887. So, some of our buildings, including this one, are heritage listed and an important part of Melbourne’s history. Let’s keep going.
[Music continues]
So, right now we are heading down Bowen Street, which is where all kinds of Uni events happen. So, if you are heading to orientation, to an expo or meeting up with one of our many student clubs, chances are you’ll find yourself here a lot. No matter what you study at RMIT, there is a collective group or a club that will be perfect for you. Woodworking, jujitsu, hip-hop, you name it.
So, there are a ton of cool places on campus to hang out and relax. Or if you’d like to shoot some hoops, a basketball court. [Cheering and applause]
At RMIT, we recognise the unique culture and contribution that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people bring to our community. So, I’m here with Kaley from our Ngarara Willim Centre.
[Kaley]
At Ngarara Willim, we provide a safe space for Indigenous students to come and get together on a social and educational level. We also provide cultural needs as well. And also, we have tutoring for Indigenous students to come and have some free learning experiences. And we also have social events for students to get together and become a mob as well.
[Lily]
So, this is our multilevel library off Swanston Street. We’ve got high-speed Wi-Fi, computers, helpful librarians and plenty of spots to chill out with a book or study. In fact, there are over 50 dedicated study spaces on campus.
[Music continues]
Let’s head into the Campus Store. The Redbacks are RMIT’s official sports team and this is their mascot. Go Redbacks!
So, we’ve just arrived at Job Shop, where any of our students can come to talk about all things career-related. So, the staff here can give you advice on resume or cover letters, find job opportunities, career consultations and info on industry and mentoring advice.
RMIT Connect is the place for current students to seek advice on timetables and enrolment, help with tech set-up, university exchange and other global experience programs and heaps more. If you book an appointment, they’ll even send you a text, so you don’t have to wait.
So, this is RMIT’s Medical Hub, where you can book an appointment with one of our GPs for a range of health services. And don’t forget, bulk billing is available to all students enrolled at Australian universities.
[Music continues]
So, behind me is building 80, where business students spend most of their time. It also has over 80 learning and teaching spaces.
So, this is building 100, our Design Hub, home to all things architecture and design. Let’s take a little look. So, this is our Design Hub Gallery, where talented students showcase their work.
If you’re a fitness nut or just like riding your bike to campus, this is our dedicated bike hub, where you can store it securely throughout the day. You just need a student card to get in and out.
This is building 94, where you’ll find Carlton Library and our vocational design and screen and media students.
We’ve reached our advanced manufacturing precinct, where loads of cool research takes place, bringing together design and engineering. They do a lot of specialised 3-D printing here. In fact, Australia’s first-ever custom-made spinal implant was made right here.
Let’s finish off the tour at one of my favourite RMIT locations, The Capitol Theatre. Maybe they’ll be showing a movie.
Just off Swanston Street is one of the most important cinemas in Australian history, The Capitol Theatre. It was designed by Marion and Walter Burley Griffin and constructed in 1924. It’s been recently reimagined by RMIT as a hub for culture and education and hosts live productions, screenings, talks and workshops.
I hope you enjoyed the tour of our beautiful city campus. And remember, if you have any questions about studying, our friendly team at the Study at RMIT Centre are more than happy to help you out. We’ll see you soon.

[Hugo]
Hey everyone. My name is Hugo, and today I’m going to take you on a little tour of RMIT’s Bundoora campus. Located just north of the city, Bundoora is home to lots of RMIT’s education, engineering and health and science programs.
It’s super easy to get to the Bundoora campus as well. The 86 tram from the city is going to drop you right on the front door. Plenty of shops and cafes just across the road as well.
There’s plenty of student parking on site and there’s even a free bus service to take you around the campus until the late hours of the night.
[Music continues]
Bundoora campus is located on Wurundjeri country and has six scarred trees on it that are a reminder of harvesting techniques used by Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander people. The Keelbundoora Scarred Trees and Heritage Trail is a 2K walk around the campus and it’s a beautiful way to clear your head between classes.
The Ngarara Willim Centre offers a wide variety of facilities and services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The students use the space to study, build connections and friendships, and engage in social and cultural activities.
[Music continues]
Bundoora is divided into an east and west campus by Plenty Road amongst 400,000 square metres of parkland. It’s even got its own lake. There is also a barbecue area if you’d like to hang out with some friends and take a study break.
If you are thinking of living on campus, then Walert House or Uni Lodge at Bundoora has got everything you could possibly need. The kitchens and dining rooms are fully equipped. And there’s even cinema rooms for movie night. And there’s plenty of social spaces too. If you are interested in meeting new people or hanging out with friends at one of their monthly events.
So, this is the RMIT Health Clinic. Whether you are after psychology or mental health support, all the way to Chinese medicine and needling. The staff and students here are going to be able to help you out. And you don’t even need a doctor’s reference to get an appointment. How cool is that?
Now, due to all the open, green, beautiful space at Bundoora, there’s plenty of room for sports facilities. Whether you are into competitive sports, outdoor adventuring or just hitting the gym, you’ll find it at the RMIT Sports Centre.
The gym is fully equipped. There is a cycling studio, volleyball, badminton. And of course, indoor basketball. Whoa!
[Music continues]
Soccer pitch is right here. Tennis court is just over there. And volleyball court is just beyond that. There’s also a FIFA grade soccer pitch, hockey pitch, competition standard tennis courts, 400 meter athletics track and an AFL oval the size of Etihad Stadium. It’s not even close [chuckles].
And for when that assignment is due next week, there are over 14 different study locations around the campus. How good is that?
So, this is our amazing library, where you can come to get access to study materials. There are also skill advisors and librarians on site to give you a hand with your studies. Or you can try a peer support group, where you can connect with other students, and they can help you with your coursework or your academic confidence.
[Music continues]
RUSU is the name for the RMIT University Student Union. And they’re responsible for fighting for student rights, as well as fostering a sense of community around RMIT. They also run the clubs and associations, of which there are over 96. So, I’m sure that’ll be something to pique your interest.
And for current students, RMIT Connect is always ready and available to answer all your student questions and needs.
Well, I’ve hope you’ve enjoyed today’s tour of RMIT Bundoora campus. If you have any more questions about studying here, get in contact with Study at RMIT. Hope to see you soon.

Hey, I’m Eliza.
[Gemma]
And I’m Gemma.
[Eliza]
And where both second-year textile design students.
[Gemma]
And today, we’re going to give you a guided tour of our beautiful RMIT Brunswick campus. Come on [laughing].
[Eliza]
Brunswick is home to our School of Fashion and Textiles as well as other design courses like industrial and graphic design. So, we are a pretty creative bunch of people.
[Gemma]
The quad often holds events like concerts, stalls and free student union lunches. So, we get to intermingle amongst students and really build a sense of community.
[Eliza]
Here we are at RMIT Connect, which is the place to go for current students looking for advice on timetabling or enrolment.
[Gemma]
The friendly staff can also help with any tech support in foreign global experiences and University exchange programs. Plus, a lot more.
[Music continues]
The library is my favourite place to study, because it’s nice and quiet and there’s lots of natural light.
[Eliza]
And there are loads of other places to study around campus, whether it be outside or in any of the other buildings.
[Music continues]
This is one of my favourite spots on campus. It’s the print room where textile designers get to spend most of their time.
[Gemma]
It’s where we get to see all our designs come to life.
[Music continues]
We’re now in RMIT’s flagship Fashion Hub, which is a world-class facility.
[Eliza]
This is the exhibition space where third and final fashion and design students get to show off their glorious creations.
[Music continues]
[Eliza]
And this is one of the specialist machine rooms in the Fashion Hub.
[Gemma]
This is one of our fabulous workshop and maker spaces. The multidisciplinary workshop allows for fashion and takes product, graphic and industrial design students to come together and think around.
[Eliza]
They’re equipped with laser cutters, 3-D printing technology, hand machinery and a lot more. So, let’s take a look.
[Music continues]
[Gemma]
Brunswick is only 6 kilometres out of the city. And the Uni itself is a stone’s throw away from busy Sydney Road. Coming from Sydney myself, I reckon it’s one of the best spots in town.
[Eliza]
There’s tons of places to grab a quick bite to eat in between classes. And loads of local designers and makers have also set up shop here too.
Thank you for joining us on this tour of the beautiful Brunswick campus. We hope this has inspired you to join our creative community.
[Gemma]
And if you have any questions, please feel free to contact our friendly staff at Study at RMIT. And if you ever see Eliza and I on campus, come and say hi to us.
