PICTURE THIS: YOU TRUST THAT GUT FEELING

The one telling you that a creative or tech career isn’t just a dream, it’s what you’re meant to do.

From day one at SAE, you step into a space designed for creators like you. Professional tech and tools? At your fingertips. Industry mentors? Ready to guide you. And the best part? You’re surrounded by a community that gets it – artists, storytellers, musicians, designers, filmmakers – all driven by the same fire.

Here, you don’t just learn – you create. You brainstorm, collaborate and bring bold ideas to life, building a portfolio that speaks for itself. Before you know it, you’re not just a student. You’re an emerging industry professional, joining fellow SAE grads at big names like Warner Bros., Sony and Live Nation.

This is where your creative journey begins.

Enrico Leasa

"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

"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

"SAE prepared me with not only the practical skills that you may learn as you study, but also soft skills like how to enter the industry, communication skills and also the teamwork which is required on a lot of projects"

Ghina Andriana

Ghina Andriana | Environment Artist (Bachelor of Animation)

"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."

Jovian Ubukata

Bachelor of Film, graduated 2024

"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 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.”

Rachel Toomeh

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Product Manager, Not Doppler Studio

"The cross pollination of my final project was really valuable. Getting to work with animation students on 3D stuff was awesome - SAE is great for that."

Thomas Hartley

SAE Alumni | Current Job: Creative Designer (CAA Agency & previously at Adidas)

"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."
