Full-contact classes are supplemented with plenty of individual studio time throughout the course. SAE also supplements their classroom teaching with a comprehensive program of guest lectures and master classes that connect students with industry leaders and provide valuable insights into launching and sustaining an audio career.

Industry engagement is key to everything that SAE does; from consulting industry leaders in curriculum development to ensuring the use of the latest industry-standard technology for teaching and learning. They also strike strategic partnerships with key industry players to ensure they’re abreast of employment trends, an easy feat consider most of the faculty staff are either still in the industry or actively engaged in contemporary, cutting-edge projects.
