SAE Institute Leeds

SAE Leeds shares a brand-new, purpose-built 17,000 sq ft building called 'The Switch' inside the Electric Press with ICMP Leeds, both opening for the first time in September 2025, SAE's first campus in the north of England. Part of the global SAE network, founded in Sydney in 1976; UK degrees validated by the University of Hertfordshire since 2022/23 (Middlesex University validated earlier cohorts).

Audio Production BA/BSc (Hons) is £9,790/yr over 3 years or £11,750/yr on a 2-year accelerated route, the same fees as SAE's London, Liverpool and Leamington Spa campuses; postgraduate MA/MSc routes in Audio Engineering & Music Technology, Creative Music Production and Songwriting are also offered. SAE runs 5-day Summer Schools (Mastering, Game Audio) in Leeds, but no price is published anywhere: treat these as enquire-only.

Worth knowing: SAE UK and ICMP are, since a 2024 merger, trading names of the same legal entity, ICMP Management Limited, itself majority-acquired in 2023 by the French AD Education Group, so despite sharing a building and looking like two separate schools, SAE Leeds and ICMP Leeds are corporate siblings under one owner.
