Our flagship campus is situated at 32 Kloof Street, which houses our Film and Television, Sound Engineering, Make-Up and Production Design departments. Just 2 minutes’ walk away you’ll find our second campus at 4 Park Road, housing our Journalism, Animation, Drama, Design and Photography departments.
We are located at the nucleus of Cape Town’s creative industries including numerous advertising, animation, design and production companies and studios. Many of our alumni are employed in our immediate vicinity, fostering many strong and on-going personal and professional relationships.
Both of our Cape Town campuses are close to student accommodation. In fact, most of our student body resides in apartment complexes in the immediate City Bowl areas of Vredehoek, Gardens and Tamboerskloof. You’ll find plenty of creative and intellectual stimulation from the museums, theatres, cinemas and the famous Company Gardens. All of these are just a stone’s throw away and lead to an environment extremely conducive to our future creatives.
Student wellness is inherent in the CV mindset. We constantly strive to ensure students are in an environment aligned to enrichment and development. For this reason, we have a student counsellor available to any student who feels that his or her personal or academic lives are in any way jeopardised. But it can’t all be about work; play is a major factor in our students’ lives. Pool and foosball are taken very seriously on-campus. Our 2 canteens are constantly bustling with constant gameplay and chatter. At the start of 2011, we took on Ultimate Frisbee as our official sport. Admittedly, we’re not very good, but we’re pushing on through against other academic institutions in this quick-paced, action-packed game.
As we’ve already told you, the average age of half of the Mother City’s population is less than 24-years old. Therefore Cape Town’s vibrant energy is most evident in its nightlife. Both of our campuses close to the world-famous Long Street, a strip of restaurants, nightclubs, café’s and a myriad of shops. All in all, Cape Town is an unbelievable place to learn and an unforgettable place to play… See you soon!
