Hear From Our Students...
“Studying in AIT was my best choice ever. I've learned a lot with my 3D modelling and Animation. The same as VFX I can give 10 out of 10.”
Chanravy
Bachelor of Interactive Media (3D Design)
“Some of the things I have taken away from AIT are skills, friends and confidence in this strange new world called the ‘Game Industry.’ The greatest thing about AIT compared to other Universities is the campus itself. It’s small and easy to get around. The classes and lectures are always engaging and practical, which adds an exciting learning experience.”
Alexander
Bachelor of Interactive Media
“My time at AIT was extremely valuable and I not only learnt a lot but had a lot of fun doing so. The teachers at AIT are all extremely supportive and really are invested in your educational journey, they are always there to lend a helping hand.”
Gabriella
Bachelor of Interactive Media
“AIT is really welcoming to spend time and work, the teachers are great and accessible for questions and help even when it doesn't concern their own class. This whole year experience gave me a real independence in my work, a new set of skills and game industry knowledge, and finally, opportunities to join the industry as soon as I was graduated.”
