“I found it really beneficial to have this streamlined experience, where I got to meet and talk to teachers that had been in the industry. Learning from a game developer’s perspective was really beneficial, and at the time it was quite unique for where I was looking to go with my career.”

“When I was doing my major project, I was encouraged to collaborate with students who were studying audio or design, and that’s exactly what you do in the real world. You have to learn how to get along with people who have different skill sets to yourself and navigate through any issues.”

“I really appreciated how my course at SAE not only started with the basics of game development, programming and design, but they were also able to immerse us into what the industry is like.”

“Being able to finish my degree and start my career at the age of 19 was a huge plus for me, as it meant I got four years in the industry before I started my business.”

“The real-world experience that SAE gives is such a unique part of the program. It gave me the skills to not just design something to fulfill a brief but to design something to fulfill someone’s imagination.”

“As SAE students, we were guided through every stage of the filmmaking process, from pre-production to post-production. Using the skills we developed throughout the course, we created a solid shooting plan for our final short film that covered everything from budgeting to the shot list, ensuring a smooth and efficient production.”
