About the university

Photography Studies College, now called PSC Creative College, is a small private college in South Melbourne that teaches photography, screen media and design. Two of its degrees are open to international students on a student visa: the Bachelor of Photography and Digital Imaging and the Bachelor of Screen Media. Entry is by interview and folio rather than ATAR.

Indian students look at PSC for a hands-on, folio-based photography or screen media degree in Melbourne. PSC publishes a 2026 international fee schedule for both degrees. We list only the photography degree, whose course page states its length in years; the Bachelor of Screen Media also costs A$76,800 in total for 6 trimesters. PSC is not a university and is not in world rankings.
