What makes you different to other educational institutions? At AIM, we don't just teach - we inspire, motivate and guide rising stars towards successful careers in the world of singing, dancing, acting, performing, entertaining, producing, managing and more. Founded in 1968, we're Australia's biggest music, management and performing arts school. Being not-for-profit means we're always reinvesting in the institute. Our facilities include performance theatres, production studios/suites with state-of-the-art equipment. Our educators are industry experts and many graduates have gone on to work for Sony, Disney, Universal, Paramount and Warner Music.

What kind of social activities do you offer? AIM delivers endless opportunities to form life-long friendships. Both Sydney and Melbourne campuses have an active student presence who look after student well-being and promote an overall feeling of inclusivity and belonging. Sydney's AIM Student Association (ASA) organises fun events for students such as Jam Nights, providing opportunities for students to get together and perform at local venues. Similarly AIM Melbourne Student Association (AMSA) holds Live Lounge sessions.

Our far-reaching network of relationships provides a solid foundation for delivering unique learning experiences and opportunities built on internship arrangements, alumni career progression, current staff connections and more.
