About pic photographic imaging college
The PIC, course began in 1982, at a school called Brighton Technical School. The original founder of the course, Peter Barker (now retired), built most of the original facilities with his own two hands, and designed the course in close consoltation with some of Melbourne’s leading tertiary photography colleges at the time. In 1994 we changed campuses and extended and updated our facilities.

The current standard of our studios and analogue and digital equipment would now be amongst the best in the southern hemisphere. Geographically, we are situated in Melbourne (population 3.5 million), which is the capital of the State of Victoria, mainland Australia's smallest but most densely populated state. Melbourne is a cosmopolitan city offering a wide range of cultures and lifestyles. It is famous for its diversity of eateries, wide tree lined boulevards and many theatres and galleries. Combined with a moderate climate all year round Melbourne is definitely a great place to live and study. This course is a full time course which has a minimum of 20 hours contact per week for approximately 40 weeks of the year. Students are expected to contribute an equivalent amount of their own time in research and other areas of study such as location shoots etc.
