Things to make life easier

No upfront course fees for Australian citizens with the Australian government FEE-HELP program (it's similar to HECS). Application required.

We've found that ATAR isn't representative of how well someone is likely to succeed in the creative industries. So we focus on other important things such as passion, drive and willingness to succeed.
