Games Education in South Australia

Melbourne, Canberra, and Brisbane have some well known places to study game development in Australia, and it looks like South Australia will be on the map soon. The government recognises the growth in the games and film industry, and plans to expand those areas in education with the new Heinz School Branch...

Rann and Kamlet said the Australian government would also be working with the university to establish an extension of Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC) next year in Adelaide, where the Master of Entertainment Technology will be offered. Entertainment technology is a rapidly evolving and high-growth sector and includes gaming, special effects and computer animation.

"We are very excited by the addition of the world-renowned ETC, which I visited in Pittsburgh in May this year, because it will fit so well into our burgeoning film and entertainment industries," Rann said. "Companies like Rising Sun, Midway Games (formerly Ratbag), Kukan, Kojo and m.Net will be among the many businesses and organizations expected to benefit from the ETC's presence in Adelaide."
