Report on renewal of accreditation of two higher education courses of study offered by SAE Institute

TEQSA has determined, under Section 56 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency Act 2011 (the TEQSA Act), to renew accreditation of the following higher education courses of study offered by SAE Institute for a period of seven years until 8 August 2020:

• Bachelor of Audio (Studio Production)
• Bachelor of Film (Production)

The courses of study in animation, audio, design, film, games development and interactive technology are to be offered at the SAE Dubai campus.

Background to Decision

SAE Institute submitted an application for renewal of accreditation of two courses of study under Part 4 of the TEQSA Act. Subsection 45(4) of the TEQSA Act requires a registered higher education provider who is not authorised to self-accredit the course of study to apply to TEQSA for accreditation. Subsection 56(4) enables TEQSA to renew accreditation of a course of study for a period not exceeding seven years.

Main Reasons for the Decision

TEQSA has determined that the two higher education courses of study submitted by SAE Institute for accreditation comply with the Provider Course Accreditation Standards. The course accreditation covers delivery at all Australian sites. The courses of study in animation, audio, design, film, games development and interactive technology are to be offered at the SAE Dubai campus.
