Start your career in sport with the Melbourne Cricket Education Academy (MCEA).

Launched in October 2022, and the first of its kind in Australian cricket, MCEA students are based at Cricket Victoria in the CitiPower Centre at Junction Oval in St. Kilda.  The Academy is a unique opportunity for select students to kick-start a career in sport while studying a dual Diploma of Business and Diploma of Leadership and Management delivered by RMIT University.  

In addition to the dual diploma, students will have the option to select from two elite sporting streams: the Cricket Development Program – where students will spend one day per week (on average) undertaking a range of cricket technique development activities at the CitiPower Centre in St Kilda, OR the Sports Business Placement Program where students undertake 100 hours of real life work-experience provided across Cricket Victoria including Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades and its partner network. 

Entry requirements are successful completion of an Australian Year 12 or equivalent certificate (including VCE, VCAL or VCE VM).
