Student's Testimonials

Duc Vu

President of RMIT Business & Finance Club Hanoi

The degree in Economics & Finance at RMIT University, in my opinion, is practical and close to reality because we have a chance to hands with the real scenario of a company, like how to maximize the company profit. With the theory learned in class, we also know how to apply that theory to real-life cases. Additionally, at RMIT, due to the small class size, students have more chances to interact with the lecturers, which will help them to have connections with them, not only for academic purposes but also, in their future career as well. Moreover, the environment at RMIT, for me, very facilitates our students to develop themselves, through student clubs, extra-curricular activities, competitions... Last, at RMIT, my peers are also a motivation for me to push myself to be better, cause each of them has a lot of things that I myself feel need to learn from them

Trung Le

For me being a Finance major student, the initial process of understanding the major was hard as it was all connected. It became more fun when you can grasp the concept of Finance and its applicability to the real world as it deals with big data. The economic and finance major inspires me because it teaches me how money, market, and big institutions work and it help me to prepare for my future

Duc Cuong

Former President of RMIT

Business & Finance Club Hanoi

The Economics & Finance degree was very challenging but rewarding that offered an ideal blend of practical finance with the important science of economics. The small class sizes allowed for a very niche and specialized experience with my dedicated professors who provided the needed challenge in each course, but not without the support to succeed. I thank my RMIT journey for introducing me a lot of motivated, interesting, and open-minded peers who all came from different cultural backgrounds and carry their own personal stories. These wonderful people are now my partners in work and friends in life
