What Our Students Say About Us

AIT was an awesome experience that I cherish and value to this day. It provided me with the perfect opportunity to find exactly which stream of the game industry that truly peaked my interest. Once I discovered my passion for programming, AIT provided me with the tools that allowed me to confidently begin my transition into the industry.

Jack

Bachelor of Interactive Media (Game 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 (Game Design)

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 (Game Design)

Great campus atmosphere and community - some other colleges & unis feel like an emotionless office, but not AIT! Everyone is so warm and welcoming, and the place feels active & full of life. The courses are great and constantly evolving to match the standards of the various industries covered by the courses.
