The idea of creating games has always fascinated me so when I heard about this course at CIT, I found it is the perfect fit for me
Hanih Saneen
My course The idea of creating games always fascinated me. Growing up I have played my fair share of games, which I really enjoyed. As I grew up I learned to do programming which also I liked very much. But when I heard about this course in CIT, which is a degree course for programming in games I found it is the perfect fit for me. So I did a background check on the course and found out that there are teachers who are really big names in the game industry. The Bachelor's degree is provided by the cooperation between AIE (Academy Of Interactive Entertainment) and CIT. My CIT experience I was really impressed with AIE, as they have a really good environment for game development. The place is filled with people who have similar interests like game artists, designers and of course programmers. Most of my time is spend at AIE, which I really enjoy and the computers and technology they provide are of the best available. We also occasionally have a "Game Jam" session at AIE, the idea is to make a game in 48 hours. We team up with designers and artists, make games until we break, which is a great experience, everyone just enjoys it. My Canberra experience Canberra is a beautiful place to live. The people are super nice here, everybody just respects each other regardless of your age, country or any aspects. Also the climate in Canberra can be a bit cold at times, which I really enjoy. Coming from India, it's a bit tough to adjust at first, but you will start enjoying it in no time. It's always a pleasure to go outside and there are lot of places in Canberra to visit.

I chose to study at CIT because of the flexibility of its programs and the outstanding awards the institution has received for the quality of teaching and performance of its students. At CIT there is time for more practical work covered during tutorials. Some lecturers are quite open to helping students with problems they might be facing even after school or work hours. I enjoy the vast mix of people from different cultural backgrounds and brainstorming with my fellow students in the library, on the lawn, or in class in search of answers to questions we get for home work. I enjoy the tutorials because I can sometimes get a one to one discussion with the tutor.

I learned more about what I needed to face on my career path and gained a lot of confidence along the way that will help me succeed in the field of my dream
Loo Yee
My first impression of CIT was how helpful the accommodation staff were in assisting me to find temporary accommodation. I felt very welcome here as everyone is really happy to assist a foreign student with limited English ability. I enjoyed the practical aspects of my course the most. It was very fun and challenging working in the kitchen, learning all different cooking techniques, time management and experiencing what its like in an actual working environment. I learned more about what I needed to face on my career path and gained a lot of confidence along the way that will help me succeed in the field of my dream. Overall it is a very enjoyable experience.
