SAE Sydney will be getting a new home in the New Year! The new SAE campus adjacent to Central Station lies within Sydney’s creative arts hub of Chippendale. Opening January 2017, the purpose-designed seven-storey campus located on Regent Street will be double the size of the existing campus. The new building [above] will boast 12 large digital and analogue recording studios, seven live recording rooms, premium industry consoles including the Neve Custom Series 75, a spacious green screen room and more.

Who are the teachers?

The lecturers at SAE are highly regarded industry professionals. Just three of SAE Sydney’s superstar lecturers are Alister Lockhart (design lecturer), who has worked as an illustrator for Disney, Random House and Ten-Thirteen; Paul McKercher (audio lecturer), a five-time ARIA Award-winning producer, engineer and mixer; and David Crowe (film department head), whose broad skill base comes from 14 years of working on feature film crews in Australia, as well as several TV series.

Take the next step:

One of our graduates, Sampa Tembo (AKA Sampa The Great), produced and released her debut album while studying at SAE Sydney, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Audio in Studio Production. Rising through the ranks to join the country’s hip hop royalty, Sampa hit the spotlight when she secured the coveted opening set for US rapper Kendrick Lamar during his Australian tour in March.
