Success Stories – Graduates Testimonials

Academy graduates have distinguished themselves by:
•    establishing successful design businesses
•    being appointed to highly sought-after positions
•    winning national design awards, and
•    excelling in post-graduate studies.

Graduates have provided testimonials that emphasise the benefits of the Academy to them, such as:
•    the differences between the Academy and universities (especially the      attention to individual development
•    the quality of teaching and the value of small class sizes
•    the cooperative collaboration among students
•    the emphasis on successful career outcomes
    
For example, here’s what Oscar-winning graduate Michael Halford said:

I'm currently in Sydney where I have just landed a job as digital artist with Animal Logic at Fox Studios.  Animal Logic is a film visual effects company whose work includes the movies "The Matrix", "Mission Impossible" and "The Moulin Rouge" as well the up-coming sequels to "Matrix" 2 & 3 (and now “Happy Feet”).

As you may imagine, I am overjoyed that the effort of study and interview trials at the Academy has paid off and I have been able to secure what is for me the "dream job".
