About Us

Qantm College was one the first colleges in the world to develop a dedicated practical games degree. Qantm was founded in 1996 in Australia, backed by several key universities, various government departments and arts bodies. It quickly became the country's leading new media college with a number of locations in Australia, Europe and Asia.
