About

Whether you've worked within the creative industries for years or hold a creative media qualification and are seeking to deepen your knowledge to pursue greater career prospects, SAE's Graduate Diploma of Creative Industries is the next step to defining your creative niche.

Completing two of the four trimesters of the Master of Creative Industries, the graduate diploma provides a strong pathway to the master’s program.
Throughout the course, you'll learn from industry thought-leaders, collaborate with your peers, extend your network through our global reach and solidify your own reputation within the creative media industry.

The Graduate Diploma of Creative Industries offers a progressive, learning experience like that of no other. With the benefit of no defined discipline specialisations, we'll guide you to select modules that meet both your individual creative and professional aspirations.

Admission criteria

Applicants must satisfy one of the following entry requirements:

  • Completion of a Bachelor degree from a related field issued under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF); or
  • Successful completion of a Bachelor Degree from an unrelated field issued under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), as well as demonstrated skills and expertise relevant to the course discipline.

Additional selection criteria

  • Evidence of qualification.
  • CV detailing skills and expertise in media production (with links to online portfolio/showreel).

Applicants must email their supporting documentation direct to SAE.

Experience based entry

SAE recognises that learning may be acquired from both formal study and professional experience. Applicants without a Bachelor degree can apply for Experience Based Entry to the Graduate Certificate and, on completion, apply to transfer to the Graduate Diploma or Master. Applicants will need to demonstrate at least 5 years of documented relevant work experience related to media production with evidence of artistic ability and achievement or practice comparable to that of undergraduate degree holders in relevant disciplines, combined with the successful completion of year 12 or higher.

For experience-based entry application requirements, see section 6.4 of SAE's Student Selection, Admission and Transfer Policy.
