RMIT Vietnam, School of Communication & Design

The School of Communication & Design is committed to providing an international learning environment that encourages cultural awareness, critical thinking, experimentation and, above all, the ability to think differently.

Our students develop the competence, confidence and professionalism needed for successful careers in communication, design, fashion, film and video, and languages. See https://www.rmit.edu.vn/our-schools-centres/school-communication-design

The Bachelor of Communication (Professional Communication) is the largest undergraduate program within the School of Communication & Design and is offered at both our Saigon South and Hanoi City campuses. The program comprises strands in public relations, advertising and media/contextual studies. Such is the quality of our students that they took first and second place in the Integrated category of the Vietnam Young Spikes Competition 2018. It's no surprise that our graduate employment rate is exceptionally high. See https://www.rmit.edu.vn/programs/bachelor-communication-professional-communication
