SAE Institute

Brisbane , Queensland ,Australia

Bachelor of Audio

At SAE we can offer small classes and one-on-one mentoring opportunities you may not find in a larger university. You’ll apply theoretical knowledge and best practices while accessing studios to amplify your talents on cutting-edge equipment like the Neve, or an SSL, or an Audient console. All the while you will gain proficiencies on software like Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, and Ableton Live.

Your growth and development as a creative practitioner will be assessed through the completion of industry-based projects. This will ultimately help you build up a body of work and portfolio to share with potential employers or your first client.

In preparation for an industry that commands agility and adaptability, you’ll cut your creative teeth on projects initially in partnership with your course peers. As your skills develop and you work on more dynamic projects, you’ll apply your capabilities to cross-discipline projects in games, film, music, and animation. By the end of your course, you could be collaborating with fellow students across all SAE disciplines.

Ultimately, this is all about a qualification that will expand your career. There is work placement as part of your course, to provide practical experience and build your network. We’ll also equip you with employability skills, giving you professional strategies in communication and self-promotion.

With a Bachelor of Audio, you’ll be ready for cutting-edge industry roles using modern creative business concepts and strategies. Career options include Studio Producer, Sound Designer, Sound Editor in film, live music, broadcast media, or games development.

Enjoy the benefits of being SAE trained – our audio students have achieved great success in the creative industries. SAE graduates are known within the industry for their high-level skills and are in demand.
