Reasons to join SAE

SAE equips you for success
We are the world’s leading educator in creative industries because we work closely with our industry partners, we employ specialist teachers with real-world experience, and we deliver personalised education in world-class facilities. Our specialised courses in creative media are responsive to the dynamic and evolving nature of these industries. We keep our finger on the pulse and think outside the square to help you reach your potential and realise your dreams.
Connections beyond campus
SAE students are part of a global creative community renowned for producing highly skilled and employable graduates. As great believers in the power of creative collaboration, at SAE all our degrees actively encourage and celebrate connection across disciplines. This means that, whatever your course, your experience will span vast areas of the wider creative industries, including games, music, animation, websites, marketing and film – as you build a diverse creative portfolio and invaluable connections.
Fast-tracked learning? Yes, please!
SAE offers accredited fast-track learning pathways so you can be industry-ready and on your way to that dream job faster. If you are willing to put in the hard yards, then our intensive fast-track options mean you will be degree-qualified in 2 years. Alternatively, you can also opt to study on a more traditionally structured 3 year degree programme.
SAE gets you real industry experience
At SAE we know creative media industries graduates need individual practical training. We recognised this back in 1976 – that’s why we pioneered our hands-on, industry focused, and personalised curriculum, delivered to you in great facilities. We also get you out of the classroom and into the real world, with professional development opportunities at some of the UK’s premier festivals and events. SAE is committed to excellence in education, and your learning outcomes.
