Admission criteria and entry schemes

Australian Year 12 students

Applicants who are current year 12 students or have completed year 12 within the last two years will be assessed on the basis of successful completion of the Australian Senior Certificate of Education (or equivalent secondary school qualification) and an interview.

As part of the acceptance process at AIE Institute, we organise an interview for each applicant. We want to ensure you have the best opportunity to succeed and would like to understand what skills and knowledge you bring to the program. At your interview we would be keen to see any creative work you have produced that is relevant to the major – game art, game design or game programming – that you have applied for. The interview helps us understand what you would want to learn and your long-term career aspirations.
