Flexible learning options
One of the great things about creative industries is that
one way or another they permeate our lives, whether we
live in the city, the suburbs, a country town or in the middle
of nowhere. There are no set rules about where learning
should come from and even fewer rules about who can and
can’t do it.This is why we offer all our courses online.
Brisbane
Sydney
Perched on the cliffs overlooking the
Brisbane River, our Brisbane campus
captures the Queensland architectural style
our Sunshine State is famous for, while
maximising views of the city and the iconic
Storey Bridge. Billy Blue shares this campus
with six other colleges of Think Education.
Our Sydney campus is located on the fringe
of Sydney’s bustling central business
district in Ultimo. As cool as inner Sydney
itself, this converted, heritage building
is close to many well-known creative
studios and marketing agencies.
Expect three levels of live green walls, lightfilled atriums and swags of collaborative
learning spaces. In fact, if it wasn’t so
jam-packed with the latest technologies,
the contemporary resort-style vibe may
see you wondering, “Seriously, am I
hanging out on an island here?”
Brisbane campus is open 24/7, so you can
study when it suits you. If you want to chill out
between classes, there are break out zones
with media charge docks, and an on-site cafe.
Students also have access to a range of
support services including learning labs with
the latest audio-visual technology as well as
spacious breakout zones for group work.
Brisbane enjoys a warm climate, extensive
riverside parks, a passion for sport, culture
and outdoor events, and is just one hour away
from the beautiful Sunshine and Gold Coasts.
With a great climate, safe environment and a
relaxed outdoor lifestyle, it is easy to see why
Queensland is a popular study destination.

By studios we mean they’re big open plan spaces as opposed to
traditional classrooms. In other words it’s a bit more like working in
the industry.
We recognise that not everyone can study at
one of our campuses and/or wants to organise
their lives around set timetables. As we’ve
said before, we totally get the flexibility thing.
We have recently introduced new online
learning platform, Blackboard. Blackboard
is an amazing, innovative technology
for learning that provides the students
with more interaction with classmates,
teachers and industry than ever before.
Spanning three levels, high ceilings, lots of
light and creative pods scattered throughout
mean this open plan building is perfect for
learning, collaboration and entrepreneurship.
So how does it work exactly?
Facilities on the Sydney campus are
accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The days of rows of desks lining darkened
classrooms are gone. Today’s XX
