Scholarships and Internships

Industry internships are an important component of the JMC program, at all levels of study. Our program has extensive experience at successfully placing students with industry, and maintains close links with industry in Tasmania and interstate. More than half of our programs’ teaching staff have worked in the media industry. Each year, we aim to place at least 40 students with our industry partners.
