All degrees are issued in partnership with Middlesex University, London, and/or SAE's International Graduate College / Qantm Degree Granting College. Students from any SAE Institute around the world will 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 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, SAE's Global Alumni Organization and Career Placement Program is there to help launch exciting international careers.
SAE 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."
