The Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) is an Australian video games and computer animation school. Founded in 1996, it was one of the world's first institutions to offer qualifications in these industries. The AIE provides courses covering CGI, animation, video game asset creation and games programming. Campuses are located in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and an online campus. The Australian ABC has said that the AIE "is one of Australia's most awarded 3D animation, game design and visual FX educators".
Worth considering if you're serious about interactive entertainment and want a small, focused program — with just 113 undergrads, you'll get personal attention that larger programs can't match. The median debt at graduation is a reasonable $11,803, which is well below the national average, but the $33,319 annual net price still adds up fast, so make sure to compare financial aid offers carefully. The 80% acceptance rate suggests this isn't a highly selective school, so research outcomes — job placement and graduate earnings — before committing.
