Glasgow Open Event

The Open Day will begin at our SAE Institute Glasgow Annexe building, located at 70 Stanley Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow G41 1JB.

We will then move to our main campus building at 85–87 Portman Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow G41 1EJ.

You can travel via the Subway, with Kinning Park being the nearest station. It’s around a 10-minute walk from campus.

If you’re travelling by car, there is free parking available outside our main building on Portman Street.

You can explore our undergraduate degrees in Audio Production, Film Production, Game Art & Animation, Content Creation, and Music Business.

You’ll also be able to speak to staff about which course best suits your interests and career goals.

You’ll hear from our lecturers, tour our studios and creative spaces, meet current students, and get a real feel for what studying at SAE is like.

The day is relaxed and informal, with plenty of time to ask questions.

That’s completely normal. Our Open Days are friendly and low-pressure. If you’re feeling unsure, you’re welcome to contact our team beforehand and we’ll happily talk you through what to expect.

If you’re unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible. Open Days can fill up quickly, and this allows us to offer your place to someone else.

We can also help you book onto the next Open Day or arrange a one-to-one campus tour instead.

You’ll be able to speak directly with a member of our admissions or academic team on the day. They can offer advice on applications, entry requirements, portfolios, and help you understand the best route for you.

No preparation is needed. Just come along, explore the campus, and ask any questions you have.

Our Open Day runs more like an event. We start at 10am, so we recommend arriving at the Annexe building 5–10 minutes early to get settled.

A full timetable with session times will be shared closer to the event. Once you’ve explored the campus and attended the sessions you’re interested in, you’re free to stay for as long or as little as you like.
