Maybe it was the hands-on courses.
Maybe the industry-standard studios and equipment.
Maybe the smaller, creative learning environment.
Or maybe it was hearing about the kind of careers SAE graduates have gone on to build.
SAE alumni have worked with organisations like the BBC, Sony, Netflix and Abbey Road Studios, contributed to productions such as Avengers: Infinity War and The Witcher, and performed at venues including Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Albert Hall.
Did you know? Some have even gone on to win Grammy Awards and work with artists like Radiohead, Bruno Mars and Freya Ridings.
