have the opportunity to transfer to SAE Oxford for their second year
of studies or may choose to complete the entire program of their choice
at SAE’s European Degree Center. Students from other schools or
colleges may qualify for acceptance into an offered program by completing
an entrance examination. Only SAE Oxford offers the exclusive SAE Tonmeister®
(Master’s Degree) audio engineering and music production program,
the highest academic qualification in the audio industry.
SAE Oxford is situated on a 5.5-acre (239,580 sq ft) campus,
dominated by a 90,000 sq ft mansion building and a new administration/accommodation
building of some 38,000 sq ft. In addition, another set of facilities
measuring 102,000 sq ft will soon be added. Despite its traditional
appearance, the Degree Center’s state-of-the-art facilities provide
a creative media environment that is second to none. Its sound studios
will be fitted with industry-standard mixing consoles and controllers
by renowned manufacturers, such as Neve, SSL and Digidesign, and will
include a full range of the finest equipment found in top studios around
the world. State-of-the-art computer facilities and an extensive specialized
library and classical recording studio (complete with a Steinway grand
piano) also help make SAE Oxford a truly interactive place of study.
As part of SAE’s educational concept, students can book their
practice time in the studios and labs on an individual basis, assisted
by the Degree Center’s qualified and professional staff.
SAE Oxford’s proximity to the U.K.’s capital
city, with its thriving media industry, provides students with a whole
world of opportunities, and SAE’s Global Alumni Organization and
Career Placement Program is there to help launch exciting international
careers.
SAE Institute President, Founder and CEO Dr. Tom Misner
stated, “I have chosen Oxford for its excellent infrastructure
for our students and its location. SAE Byron Bay will remain the regional
office for Australia/Asia and is also being enlarged, whilst Oxford
will take the role of global administration and research center for
SAE.”
