KBS has campuses in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. Each school location offers students an excellent learning and social environment.
KBS puts internships at the heart of its educational model. Thanks to its strong industry connections in a number of different organisations, KBS students get to enjoy an internship opportunity as part of their course, allowing them to gain work experience while studying. This gives students a substantial competitive edge upon graduation, with two in five students who carried out an academic internship offered work in the first trimester of 2022.
The KBS campuses all benefit from central city locations, offering students a warm student environment and a vibrant city life. Facilities across all campuses include modern libraries and accommodation, industry-leading computer labs, and cafes. A range of student services further enhance the student experience at KBS.
Students have access to specialised services including tailored careers advice and academic support, as well as counselling and individual support, if required. International students are welcomed with an orientation programme to help them adjust to student life and living in Australia.
