The day is a celebration of everything JMC is- the incredible spaces, the industry professionals that help make the most of them and of course, our incredible community of students who have begun their creative journeys with us.

Across our Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne campuses, we’re throwing the doors open to future audio engineers, filmmakers, game designers, entertainment managers, animators, actors, musicians and designers — this time with a new schedule that puts you fully in the driver's seat for what you see and experience on the day!

This isn’t your standard campus tour. JMC’s Open Days have always offered more than a peek behind the curtain; they’re a full-blown immersion into what your life could look like if you choose to chase the creative career you’ve been dreaming of. Whether you’re still in high school, mid-career and pivoting, or finally ready to answer that persistent “what if?”, this is your moment to explore!

More Choice, More Freedom

One of the most exciting updates to this year’s Open Day format is its flexible, free-flowing structure. Gone are the rigid timetables and single-entry sessions. Instead, JMC has designed a day that allows attendees to take full control of how they explore campus life.
Across all three cities, Open Day will now run from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This means more time to engage with course demos, pop into short 15-minute sessions with Heads of Department, jump on a guided campus tour when it suits you, and catch the live student performances without missing a thing. For those with packed Saturdays or shorter attention spans (no judgement), this new model is a dream!
Panels featuring current students, alumni and industry insiders will run in both the morning and afternoon, so whether you’re early-birding or brunching before you arrive, you’ll still get the full story of life at JMC.

It's not just about choosing a course, it's about stepping into a space where creative careers begin and evolve. With more freedom to explore, more voices to learn from, and more time to connect on your terms, this year’s Open Day is built for the bold. For the curious. For the ones ready to start now.

So, what makes JMC’s Open Days so unmissable?

Expect live music from student performers setting the mood as soon as you arrive, buzzing common spaces, informing and inspiring panel discussions, course-specific demos that bring the JMC’s vibrant curriculum to life, and hands-on access to gear and spaces that are purpose built to rival the industry. Want to try your hand behind a film camera? Sit in on a design tutorial? Chat with current students and alumni about what life’s really like on the other side of enrolment? It’s all here, and the vibe is more creative conference than information session.

You’ll meet JMC’s Heads of Department, find out how to apply, get all of your questions answered by admissions and support staff, and hear from a live panel featuring industry lecturers, students, and real-world professionals doing the work every day.

JMC’s approach to Open Day  is a reflection of the way JMC teaches: hands-on, high-agency, and centered on your creative goals. So whether you’re chasing a future behind the camera, behind the mic, on stage, or in the studio, JMC’s August Open Day is your backstage pass.
