When it’s time to think about what’s next in your education journey, it’s totally normal to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the choices on offer.  

Don’t stress! We’re here to help you pick the perfect course for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself when it comes to pursuing further education: 

1. What are you passionate about?  

Passion fuels everything we do, especially when it comes to choosing what to study! It's the driving force behind success and often makes the difference between thriving and just getting by. Think about it: when we're passionate about a subject, we're eager to learn, explore, and give it our all. But if we're stuck in a classroom without that spark, where boredom reigns and interest wanes, it's tough for our minds to engage fully. So, listen to your heart, follow your passions, and watch how your enthusiasm powers you toward success! JMC Academy specialises in creative courses that help turn your passions into careers.  

2. How will this course fit into your life?  

Next to passion, realism is your closest ally when embarking on a study journey. Whether you opt for full-time or part-time study, the decision is yours to make. At JMC Academy, our Student Advisors are here to assist you in tailoring the course to fit your lifestyle. From addressing concerns about course duration to navigating student fees, they're dedicated to ensuring the course aligns perfectly with your needs. 

3. What career opportunities are available?  

For many, the ultimate goal of studying is to open up new career pathways. It's crucial to choose a course that aligns with your dream job aspirations. Explore the ​​career journeys of JMC Alumni and see where they've landed in the industry.  
 
Additionally, dive into the specific job opportunities related to the courses we offer. For example, did you know that by studying Animation, you could step into the fascinating world of forensic animation, collaborating with law enforcement to recreate crime scenes and aid in solving crimes? 

4. How will this college or university help me get a job?  

Having a degree is just the beginning of your journey. The right institution can be your launchpad, offering work placements and connecting you with industry pros who'll guide you through the ropes and help you build those crucial networks. 

Our JMC Academy staff have all found successful careers in their area of expertise, and most are still working within the field. They are your first industry contacts! Many of our students get work placements through their tutors and even go straight into jobs through contacts made during their studies. 

5. What will I actually be studying?

Curious about what your study journey will look like? Dive into the course modules to uncover the content you'll be learning. Look for programs we offer at JMC Academy, where you'll get to roll up your sleeves and choose from a range of engaging modules both practical and theory-based. It's all about leaving with the skills and knowledge that'll make employers sit up and take notice. 

6. Is this the right place for me?  

It's all about finding your perfect fit. Public universities have bigger classes and broader subject focuses, while private colleges like JMC Academy offer smaller, more intimate classroom settings and focus on more niche subjects. With class sizes ranging from 30 down to 4 per class, you're not just a number but part of a tight-knit community, with plenty of one-on-one time with your lecturers. These smaller classes help develop closer relationships with the industry professionals guiding you, and your fellow creative classmates. Furthermore, as a creative industry specialist, JMC Academy has a narrow focus on the creative industry, meaning that you will be surrounded by a lot of other creative individuals to collaborate with.
