Courses on offer:
For 2016, AFTRS is accepting applications for the Bachelor of Arts (Screen) and a swag of practical, industry-focused Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas in the specialist craft areas of film, television and radio.
What makes us different:
AFTRS is literally the national screen and broadcast school of Australia, set up by the Australian Government over 40 years ago. The facilities and gear at AFTRS are unrivalled by any other University or college in Australia, which has seen AFTRS rated by The Hollywood Reporter in 2012, 2014 and again this year as a part of the top film schools in the world. All lecturers at AFTRS are working industry professionals and the connections between the school and industry run deep.
Many high-achieving alumni return to the school to give masterclasses to current students, the most recent being; Alex Proyas (I Robot, The Crow, Knowing Gods Of Egypt) and Jane Campion (Top Of The Lake, Bright Star, The Piano, An Angel At My Table). AFTRS provides unsurpassed opportunities and professional networking connections as well as hands-on, technical insight.
Take the next step:
AFTRS graduates are working in Australia and around the world across the entire spectrum of the screen and broadcast industries in feature film, television and radio. A large number of AFTRS graduates have made it to the highest levels of their craft, which has seen them win Academy Awards, BAFTAs and Emmys for their work.
Each year there are hundreds of nominations at the local level for the work of AFTRS alumni and also for AFTRS student productions at major film festivals and guild awards.
