Sydney Campus
We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation who are the traditional owners of the land on which AIE Institute Sydney stands, and the living culture of the traditional custodians of these lands. We recognise that the traditional owners have occupied and cared for this country over countless generations and celebrate their continuing contribution to the life of Sydney. AIE Institute celebrates diversity in all its forms and welcomes students to our harmonious and supportive environment.
Our Ultimo campus is situated within the heart of Sydney’s games industry, in a dynamic innovation and technology precinct. Students studying at the Ultimo campus are fortunate to be surrounded by a thriving community of established developers, independent studios, start-ups and universities.
We are a 10-15 minute walk or bus ride from Central Station, with bus stops along Broadway, a 2-5 minute walk from our campus. Central Station connects to trains, light rail, and buses running across Sydney, as well as regional connections. For more information, please visit the Transport NSW website.
