College is very different from school, it isn’t just about getting an education, it’s about making new friends, experiencing new opportunities, enjoying the student lifestyle and preparing yourself for the future. It’s about working in an adult environment, committing yourself to your studies and achieving your aspirations. Our professional, dedicated and industry experienced teaching staff make learning fun and engaging and give you the responsibility and independence you need to take charge of your own future. And, to help you with the transition, we have a comprehensive student support team that can assist with applications, securing funding, careers guidance and personal tutoring, to name just a few services! We have some exceptional resources that replicate real-world working environments including a state-of-the-art recording studio that will allow you to develop and apply theory and practical skills through recording, editing and mixing sessions; well-equipped art, design and graphic studios, as well as a photography studio and darkroom, giving you access to various camera, lighting and backdrop equipment; science labs; sports facilities, and over 350 computers around campus, including four Apple Mac Suites that are dedicated to media and music technology. On a typical day here, in between lessons, there’s space for quiet study in our Learning Resource Centre or hanging out with friends in the many spaces and communal areas. Missed breakfast or need a snack in between classes? You can grab a bite to eat or something to drink in our café.
