WHAT STUDENTS SAY ABOUT SAE

“I always had the dream of working for a large studio like ILM, Pixar or Dreamworks, so to actually be a part of these huge projects now is amazing."

Enrico Leasa

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Layout artist at Industrial Light & Magic

"Design is something I’m extremely passionate about, so I found it really easy to focus on my studies. Studying in a small cohort, I didn’t feel like just another number."

Elly Waite

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Graphic Designer, Busy Bee Learning

"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."

Eliza Allard

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Director/Founder, The Content Lab

"Getting to meet other creatives [at SAE] who had other passions was very satisfying, as we were then able to collaborate on music and other projects."

Aldo Arechar

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions company in LA

“Studying at SAE provided me with a structure, and connected a lot of the dots, so when I went out into the industry and an engineer started talking about live sound, I was able to understand that because of the rounded education I got from my time at SAE.”
