SAE Creative Media Institute is now a University College.

Creative media educator, SAE, says it is has been reclassified from institute to a University College. 

According to SAE CEO, Joseph Anthonysz, ‘the University College category was introduced by the Australian government in 2021 to recognise superior self-accrediting higher education providers. SAE recently joined an elite group of just six other University Colleges across the country – and is the only one delivering creative media nationally’. 

‘Since it was founded in 1976, SAE has had an unblemished regulatory history, including 20 years as an Australian Higher Education Provider,’ he said. ‘It has grown to be one of Australia’s largest independent providers, and, as a University College, is now recognised as one of the best.’ 

‘As recognised leaders in creative media education, SAE looks forward to building on these foundations and sharing our teaching and learning practices to help shape the future of the higher education sector and industry at large.’ 

SAE has six campuses across five Australian states, including Byron Bay, and one transnational campus in Dubai in the UAE.
