SAE to open new European degree centre in Oxford with a huge financial investment

SAE is set to open the world's biggest technology school alongside the very best seats of learning in the UK. Not only will the new Oxford campus be the largest SAE Institute to date - more than 8,500 square meters - it is also set to become a significant degree centre for the SAE European operations, the flagship school amongst the 50 SAE Institutes that already exist on five continents. It will also be the fourth UK SAE.
This is a completely new dimension for SAE and a milestone in its history of more than 30 years of providing creative technology education.
Based in Littlemore, Oxford, the new campus will offer state of the art facilities for students, with a number of fully residential places available which will be particularly attractive for overseas students.

SAE founder Tom Misner, who has recently relocated to the UK in order to oversee the development of the new centre, is extremely pleased with the new acquisition. "For over 30 years now SAE Institute has consistently raised the standard, and this shows that we have no intention of resting on our laurels when it comes to delivering excellence to our students, no matter what field of study they pursue."
SAE is spending £12million updating the old Littlemore hospital for the new campus (a further £8million will be spent on the company’s London college later this year). It will have bespoke teaching facilities, individual workstation areas for students, recording studios equipped with the latest technology (including one capable of recording an entire 88-piece orchestra), and an extensive library packed with books, films and other creative new media.
