This campus is located in Watson, a leafy suburb just to the north of the city centre. AIE Canberra, the first AIE campus, was established in 1996 in response to a demand for 3D games artists and programmers. The industry experienced teachers have guided students through the courses to employment at every major games and 3D animation studio in Australia as well as a number of internationally renowned companies. The provision of campus noticeboards and online forums allow students and organisations to promote positions vacant, accommodation vacancies and industry events and functions. In their spare time, AIE Canberra students can also make use of the numerous games and pinball machines, TV facilities, XBOX 360, Play station 2, sporting facilities and on site library.
