What is the Early Entry Program?

AIE’s Early Entry Program is for students completing Year 12. We’re looking for your academic suitability for the program you have selected as well as your creative and/or technical knowledge – not your ATAR results.

We do this by conducting an interview at a time that suits you. At the interview we will review your year 11 or mid-year 12 results. We would also like to see a collection or portfolio of the creative works you have completed relevant to the course you are applying for.

An early offer to AIE Institute secures your place in the course and helps you focus on finishing year 12.
