Carnegie Mellon University 
is a top ranked American university that has established operations in Adelaide, South Australia. The university offers post-graduate master’s programs through the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management and the Entertainment Technology Center (ETC). The university’s programs are recognised and valued by employers and provide students with a solid foundation for their careers. Over 90% of our students are employed within a few months of graduation and many have offers well in advance of completing their degrees.
Heinz School programs on offer include the Master of Science in Public Policy and Management (MSPPM) and the Master of Science in Information Technology (MSIT). Both programs are offered on a full-time and part-time basis.
The Master of Entertainment Technology is offered full-time through the ETC.
These programs will be offered out of two state-of-the-art facilities in the central business district in Adelaide: in Victoria Square and on Currie Street. Adelaide is an ideal place for students to study. It is affordable, safe and accessible. The beach is within 20 minutes and wine country is within an hour of the campus. The city offers wonderful restaurants and cultural events and South Australia boasts numerous world-class festivals throughout the year.
