Industry-ready Film graduates

During your film course, we take your professional preparation very seriously. Here are some of the meaningful ways we do it.

  • Skills That Matter
    • Industry-specific professional skills embedded within each subject during your film studies.
    • Key employability skills build progressively throughout the program as you develop complex professional capabilities; e.g. first read and understand a brief, then later present completed projects to a panel of film industry experts.

  • Professional Portfolio Building
    • Across all our programs we have designed real world project-based assessments that can be repurposed into a professional portfolio on graduation.

    • Some portfolio items follow your creative visions, others follow set client briefs – portfolio diversity that will set you apart.

  • Career Support
    • We have dedicated staff with robust industry knowledge ready to help you plan your career, guide you in the future direction of tech, help with your CV, social media presence or where to find work

Learning Design Team

As the basis of everything that happens in the creative, tech and interactive media world there’s design; and it’s the same with education.

When we are building your program, we make sure we have the best designers on the job. That is why we have done what so few providers have done; we have invested in an in-house Learning Design team, a group of highly qualified educators and designers, making your course content engaging, accurate, current, intuitive and practical.

Studying should feel seamless, and your focus should be on what you want to learn, not the tech functionality. We make sure this is apparent when you invest in AIT for your learning.
