Because of international students, our university is very diverse, lots of different ideas, and we love working together to support international students. I would like to dedicate this award to our amazing international students for everything you bring to Victoria. We're here because of you all, so thank you.

Saskia Loer-Han: It's a fantastic honour to have won the Premier's Award as International Education Provider of the Year. What an amazing achievement. It's testament to everybody in team RMIT that we've managed to do this. We are part of a vibrant city. We work closely with partners across the city and the state and indeed, federal government. And it's wonderful to be home to so many communities from all kinds of backgrounds across the whole world.

Niloo Farshchi: We've worked with industry to design programmes to make sure students gain those skills that they need when they enter employment while they're studying.

Saskia Loer-Han: Together, we're stronger. We can achieve so much more when we all work together in the city, in the state and across the wider community.
