SAE Institute is set to open the world’s biggest technology school this year, alongside the very best seats of learning in the UK.
Not only will the Oxford campus be the largest SAE Institute to date – more than 14,200 square meters – it’s also set to become the global headquarters of the SAE operation.
Based in Littlemore, Oxford, the new campus will offer state of the art facilities with a number of fully residential places available for the anticipated influx of overseas students.
SAE founder Tom Misner, who has recently relocated to the UK in order to oversee the development of the new HQ, is extremely pleased with the new acquisition.
“For over 30 years now SAE Institute has consistently raised the standard, and this shows that we have no intention of resting on our laurels when it comes to delivering excellence to our students, no matter what field of study they pursue. And with the Oxford campus we’re moving the very heart of SAE to what many consider to be the homeland of global academic excellence.”

SAE is spending £12million updating the old Littlemore hospital for the new campus (a further £8million will be spent on the company’s London college later this year). It will have bespoke teaching facilities, individual workstation areas for students, recording studios equipped with the latest technology (including one capable of recording an entire 88-piece orchestra), student accommodation and an extensive library packed with books, films and other creative new media.

Wow, I wonder how Misner financed that:
- By not paying licensing fees for software in ANY of the colleges over decades (he just got hit with a 2.5 Mio Euro fine in Germany as this was the first time he finally got busted)
- By exploiting staff and neither pay social security nor tax
