SAE University College, located on Ewingsdale Road, Byron Bay, is giving future creatives a chance to get up close and hands-on with its course offerings at its open day on Saturday, August 24.
Event organisers say SAE Byron Bay is the only University College in the country offering a suite of creative courses nationally, including animation, audio, design, film, games and music.
‘Former SAE student Fernanda Gerdes will be joining us to share her expertise on making a name for herself in the design industry’.
‘She channelled her passion for design into a qualification with SAE, where she was able to develop a professional portfolio packed with real-world examples of her skills.
‘Thanks to the design briefs she worked on during her studies, Fernanda scored herself a placement at Bluesfest, that turned into a paid designer role (before she’d even finished studying!)’.
The open day will include food, drink, and music from Concrete Gold and DJ Abel Mezzomo. They add expert practitioners, current students and alumni will be on hand to talk about SAE courses and demonstrate state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.
