What makes us different

Creative education requires a unique approach. This is why the JMC student experience is different. Our world-class studios, student spaces and hands on learning inspires creative exploration, collaboration and innovation.  

Our students feel supported 

There’s a reason students love coming to JMC. Learning should be fun and relatively stress free. With an extensive range of academic, technical, career development and wellness services, it’s no surprise JMC ranked #1 for Student Support against all major Creative Art institutions (qilt.edu.au).

Our small class sizes and one-on-one learning opportunities ensure you get the attention and support you deserve. Our industry professional lecturers know their students by name and are there to provide you with a fun and engaging learning experience that’s as tailored and unique as you are.

The creative opportunities are limitless

A campus exclusively full of creative thinkers and doers means that you’ll be able to connect and network with students across all disciplines, whether it’s having your music video clip produced, planning a unique design for your EPK or finding a unique sound for your game project. From day one you are immersed in a microcosm of creative possibilities.  

Launching your career sooner

Every creative journey is unique, which is why we give you the opportunity to tailor your learning and choose electives which may be outside of your immediate course. No need for multiple degrees, we want to give you the most efficient and effective learning outcome to have you out there working sooner.

#1 for Skills Development (qilt.edu.au)

Our students love the highly practical approach to their learning and enjoy ‘getting their hands on the gear’ from day one. JMC graduates are known for their ability to quickly apply their learning and competently tackle their careers head-on, upon graduation.

JMC courses are designed and taught by award-winning industry experts, alongside leading academics. This ensures our students graduate with contemporary best practice across the technical aspects and theoretical approach of every course.

Good partnerships create great internships

Our internship program is built on the unique industry relationships we have built over the many years with our partners. Students engage in real placements across reputable and established companies including major recording studios, commercial radio and TV networks, content production and design studios, major labels, festivals and major sporting events. 

We are particularly proud to work with many outstanding charities, not for profit, social and cultural  organisations in the internship mix. Our students are enriched and humbled by the experience gained on these projects.      

Reassurance of contemporary best practice learning

Our courses undergo regular and thorough review to ensure programs are current and that they continue to meet the needs of industry. This process is overseen by renowned members of both industry and academia who form our 'curriculum advisory' committees. Programs are assessed for their focus on emerging industry trends and application of leadership skills. This has resulted in job-ready graduates who are able to handle projects with skill and confidence.

Emphasis on networking and career preparation  

Embedded professional development studies in every course will enable you to start developing a professional approach to preparing you for your career. From networking and pitching skills to portfolio and showreel preparation, we will help you build prepare to launch. JMC’s cross-course collaboration and industry expert lecturers also allows our students to work with and build a professional network of creatives during their studies, allowing them to graduate job ready with the connections you need to succeed.

Global connections

Our global connections bring an abundance of opportunities for our students and lecturers alike. From our work with the Los Angeles College of Music, Tokyo Design Technology Centre, Osaka Animation College, Fontys Academy for Creative Industries in the Netherlands, and TAI Artes in Spain to name a few, our students can take advantage of exchange and study tours abroad.
