SAE was established in 1976 as the first audio school. Since it has grown to a network of over 40 colleges in 22 countries offering courses in Audio Engineering, Multimedia Production and Digital Film. With 29 years of teaching experience students are taught the skills necessary for successful work in the audio and multimedia industry. The concept of SAE is practical hands-on training combined with a solid theory knowledge.

Institute is the largest worldwide private College for Audio Engineering, Digital Film and media training. SAE provides practical training courses, as well as academic degree programmes.

What's on offer
Courses at SAE are taught 'hands on'. This means that the theory lectures are supported by individual and group practical time for each student, using equipment that is housed on site. Theoretical topics are dealt with in formal lectures given at prescribed times and student performance is gauged through a series of tests and final exams. Practicals are booked outside of, and in addition to, lecture times. Normally, students are required to complete a set of practical assignments before being able to sit the final practical exams. In the final assessment for most courses, theory and practical are given similar weightings.

Degree programmes at SAE are taught and administered by SAE and validated by Middlesex University. As such, they are jointly awarded by both institutions.
