Improving access to arts facilities

Melbourne Polytechnic Prahran’s mission is to improve access to creative training and arts facilities for our students and the wider public. We offer outstanding arts facilities, a broad range of creative training courses and provide opportunities for students to gain real-world industry experience while on-campus. Our sound production and media students learn about the world of the stage working the David Williamson Theatre, whilst our hospitality, baking and cookery students learn on the job at our fully-functional commercial restaurant, The Apprentice.

Our campus is buzzing yet spacious, with areas dedicated to each creative discipline and ample space for students to chill between classes. We collaborate closely with the City of Stonnington and other key stakeholders to help build a strong Melbourne Polytechnic community in Prahran.
