The best course to kickstart your screen and media career

Brand new to SAE Creative Media Institute Melbourne, the innovative Diploma of Screen and Media provides training in animation, design, audio, film, games and music production.

It’s the best that SAE has to offer, all in one course. The program gives students the opportunity to explore the multifaceted creative media industry through diverse technical practices.

Students will gain production training in a practical, hands-on environment and enhance skills and job prospects by developing a broad range of skills in a multidisciplinary environment.

This seven-month course will provide an opportunity to become a digital-savvy professional within the creative industries. Developed with the changing job market in mind, this course offers students extensive applied learning in software and workflow management.

Students will engage in a collaborative, simulated work environment to produce a creative media production and be guided through project management methods to bring concepts to life.

SAE Melbourne Campus Manager Keiran Bartlett says he is excited to be offering a course that will allow SAE to mentor those students who want to get a broader foundation in creative media.

“Through this course, we’re able to help students to gain a wider base of expertise and I see this as an opportunity to further support the next generation of creative media students for both the local and international industries,” he says.
