RMIT welcomes largest cohort of BITS-RMIT Higher Education Academy students to Melbourne
BITS Pilani students visited RMIT for a taste of Melbourne, before returning for their final study phase in 2027. RMIT received funding from the Victorian government, under its ‘Yes to International Students Fund’, partially contributing to this year’s immersion visit fund.
RMIT Vice-President, International, Layton Pike, said the state government support recognised the strength of RMIT’s partnership with BITS and the impact of education and global experiences.
“When the Victorian premier met BITS students in India, she said they are gaining a superpower through this program: cultural intelligence,” he said.
“By the time BITS-RMIT students graduate, they will have something rare – not just knowledge, but the experience of living and learning across cultures, and the confidence that comes with it.”
