STUDY AT THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES IN SOUTHPORT

NYFA Australia is proud of our 2000sqm, two-level, state-of-the-art facility co-located at Southport, the leading Educational and Creative Arts precinct of the Gold Coast. Due to its proximity to the light rail transport and other student service amenities (libraries, shopping centers, immigration services, cafes and restaurants), this is an ideal and convenient space for our students.

Our Southport Main Campus is located directly across from the Gold Coast Broadwater with a popular waterfront promenade, large estuary and attractive parklands making it the perfect place for filming. Students also have the opportunity to do production work in the backlot of the internationally renowned Village Roadshow Studios. Adjacent to the Warner Bros. Movie World Theme Park, the Studios offer truly world-class film production facilities. In a vibrant and inspiring location, NYFA Australia students are provided unique hands-on programs that are enhanced by the thriving film industry environment surrounding the school.
