Kickstart Your Career in Make-up or Live Production at NIDA

We’re counting down the days until we kick off the academic year commencing Monday, 3 February. As our staff prepare for incoming and returning students, two specialist diploma programs are still welcoming applications from aspiring creative professionals.

The Diploma of Screen and Media (Specialist Make-up Services) course and the Diploma of Live Production and Technical Services course are open to individuals passionate about building careers behind-the-scenes. Notably, neither program requires an ATAR for entry, making them accessible to people from diverse educational backgrounds.

Both programs benefit from NIDA’s exceptional industry connections and practical approach to education. Students work on real productions throughout their studies, gaining valuable hands-on experience and building professional portfolios before graduation.

Prospective students interested in either diploma can find detailed information and application requirements here. With the academic year beginning February 3rd, NIDA looks forward to welcoming another cohort of talented and passionate individuals ready to make their mark on Australia’s performing arts landscape.
