Partnership

GCM launched its creative school brand, ‘International Design School’, in the Australian vocational education sector in early 2006. The school commenced offering qualifications in Printing and Graphic Arts – primarily targeting international students. In early 2008, GCM acquired International College of Creative Arts – an established photography and advertising school with campuses in Melbourne and Sydney – primarily targeting domestic students. In 2008, GCM has undertaken the task of unifying the two creative schools under the one brand name – International Design School – with the school offering four specialist creative streams: Digital Media, Photography, Advertising, and Printing and Graphic Arts.

About International Design School

At just under two years old, International Design School is a young brand with huge potential. International Design School offers industry-relevant, practical, creative-focused programs from Certificate III level through to Advanced Diploma. The range of specialist courses offered covers four streams: Digital Media, Photography, Advertising, and Printing and Graphic Arts. International Design School’s impressive, visually appealing debut campus is located in the bustling arts and cultural district of Melbourne’s CBD, Southbank, and is situated among some of Melbourne’s most iconic buildings, including, the Australian Ballet, Melbourne Symphony, National Gallery of Victoria, Hammer Hall, Malthouse Theatre, and The Arts Centre.

Complimentary to the impressive campus building is the state-of-the-art facilities, resources and industry-standard software packages that students train on and utilise to complete assignments. These include both Mac and PC computer labs, cutting rooms, digital scanning equipment, printing equipment, multimedia technology, photography studios, dark rooms and more.

In 2009 International Design School will open its Sydney campus at 2 Short Street Surry Hills occupying a newly renovated grand facility, moments walk from the hustle and bustle of the iconic Oxford Street shopping and entertainment strip. The design-focused building features polished concrete floors and exposed beams throughout, creating an ideal space for creative types to gain inspiration.
