About

As Australia’s leading institution for the creative industries, JMC Academy has nurtured thousands of passionate creatives for over 40 years

with fast-tracked degrees and diplomas in the fields of audio engineering, music, entertainment business, film and television, design, games and animation. JMC also offers a Master of Creative Industries for those wishing to progress onto postgraduate study.

At JMC we believe creative education requires a unique approach and this is where the JMC student learning experience is different.

Our world-class studios, student spaces and hands-on practical learning inspires creative exploration, collaboration and innovation.
All courses are designed and taught by leading and award-winning industry experts, alongside academics, to ensure students graduate as highly skilled and confident creative leaders of tomorrow.

Our student support and professional development programs are a huge part of your learning at JMC from day one, ensuring you develop the soft skills, networking and critical thinking you need to make it in any career you choose.
Real-industry collaboration
A campus full of like-minded passionate creatives leads to limitless creative possibilities. From designing a music score for our filmmakers or a soundscape for our game developers, to managing an artist or band, working on joint projects across different disciplines provides a realistic simulation of work in the creative industries and beyond.
Internship program
Our formal internship program allows students to engage in industry placements across established national and local companies including major recording studios, commercial radio and TV networks, advertising and design studios, major labels, festivals and major sporting events.
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.
