Mid-Year Intake 2026
Applications are now open for AIE's Mid-Year Intake which commences in June 2026, offering aspiring creatives and developers a new opportunity to begin their journey into the interactive entertainment industry.
Designed for students who are ready to start sooner rather than wait for 2027, AIE’s Mid-Year Intake provides a flexible entry point into the fast‑growing industries of game development, animation, visual effects and filmmaking.
The June 2026 intake is particularly well-suited to:
- Recent school leavers who want to start studying without waiting months
- Students transferring from other courses or institutions
- Career changers seeking a creative and technical pathway
- International students aligning study plans with visa or academic timelines
Students commencing mid-year receive the same level of support as those in February intakes, including academic guidance, student wellbeing services and access to AIE’s industry networks.
AIE graduates have gone on to work across games, animation, film, visual effects and interactive media, both in Australia and internationally. With demand continuing to grow for creative and technical talent, AIE’s Mid-Year Intake provides a timely entry point into industries at the forefront of digital innovation.
Applications for the June 2026 Mid-Year Intake are now being accepted. Prospective students are encouraged to apply early, as places are limited and intakes regularly fill ahead of the start date.
