“JMC is great in that people get to chase their craft, explore their craft and expand their craft in the way that they want to.”

- Faith, Malaysia

I came into JMC with a very set idea of what my career should or would look like. And having opportunities to collaborate with other people and other industries showed me that there’s so many different options. People get to chase their craft and explore their craft and expand their craft in the way that they want to.

FAQs

A 2018 UNESCO report states that “the creative economy…generates annual revenues of US$2,250 billion and global exports of over US$250 billion. According to recent forecasts, these sectors will represent around 10% of global GDP in the years to come.

The cultural and creative industries currently provide nearly 30 million jobs worldwide and employ more people aged 15−29 than any other sector. Nearly half of the people working in the cultural and creative industries are women, opening up new opportunities to address gender inequalities.”

Yes. All courses are approved and accredited by TEQSA, the Australian quality agency. We also regularly benchmark our programs and facilities against leading arts institutions internationally, ensuring we not only provide the best Australia has to offer, but also measure up globally.
As the entertainment management industry is ‘people oriented’, there is a focus on presentations, but you will also do things like business and marketing plans, event manuals, tour and festival schedules, and other theoretical assessments such as essays.

I chose JMC Academy because I wanted to get into the business part of the music industry. I love the lifestyle and culture of Melbourne because it is a very artistic city and people really understand the music scene in Australia. People in my JMC course were super friendly and I had so much fun with them.

JMC Academy helped me understand the entertainment business and covered a lot of the things that I needed at the start of my career. It prepared me for the real world! JMC is great because it prepares you in a lot of areas that you may face in your career.

At JMC the relationship between students and lecturers really encourages us to become better film makers – the lecturers are the reason I’m enjoying filmmaking even more than I thought I would. They are so experienced in the industry, so I feel like I’m getting the best value studying with JMC! There's so many different cultures and so much diversity here but people adapt to each other's differences and learn from each other. It's definitely a huge change of environment but living in Melbourne has been pretty eye opening in the best way possible and has allowed me to obtain different experiences and opportunities that I wouldn't have been able to encounter back home.”
