Creative and technology careers fuelled by Industry Partnerships

Our extensive industry connections ensure you graduate with the latest industry skills and have one-of-a-kind work placement opportunities, like working backstage at BIGSOUND and CARRIAGEWORKS or mentoring with organisations like FIN VFX and Very Short Film Festival.

With 50 years of creative media & technology education, and campuses in 20 countries, we’re wired into industry like no one else.

We constantly refine our courses to meet professional standards – our Industry Advisory Panel (working practitioners from the field) actively shape course structure, assessments, graduate capabilities and required technology.
