About

SAE has a range of approaches to learning and teaching that can be activated to provide flexibility in the face of changing circumstances as required, to support student progression regardless of external factors.

Bring together multiple creative passions by studying units in film, music, audio, animation, design, VR, AR or game development. The Diploma of Creative Industries allows students to combine skills across various media and creative technologies, preparing them for a diverse career pathway.

Alongside specialist creative skills in multiple disciplines students craft their communication, project management and entrepreneurial abilities, learning to think innovatively, creatively and technically within a complex industry ecosystem.

In this course you will engage in projects applying skills learned throughout the course to real life creative scenarios. Through collaborative project design, development, and management you will devise inventive creative solutions, applying ideas and content that uses mixed media and technologies.

Our diploma has been purpose built to blend digital online delivery and face-to-face time with expert mentors across the country, along with time on the latest industry standard tools and software.

Practical experience

SAE offers hands on, practical and project based education – it’s what makes us unique. We recognised this back in 1976 and that’s why we pioneered our hands-on, industry focused, and personalised curriculum. You will truly sharpen your skills by doing, not watching. From day one, you’ll be in small classes, using the latest equipment. The more prac work the better – that’s our theory. Upon completion, you will have built a portfolio of work to share with potential employers or first clients.
