Why this works
- Private creative-media institute in central Vienna (Hohenstaufengasse 6, 1010) — 10 fields across audio, film, games, design and software · 2026-27
- The three-year Bachelor (Hons) is validated by the University of Hertfordshire in the UK; the Diploma (18 months) and Advanced Diploma are SAE's own awards · 2026-27
- The live fee page publishes no figure at all (checked 2026-08-19) — the course fee has to be requested from the institute directly, so treat any number found elsewhere as unconfirmed
- Payment plans differ by citizenship: EEA students may choose plan A, B or F, non-EEA students only A or B · verified 2026-08-19
- Registration under § 27 Abs 6 HS-QSG expressly does not establish equivalence with Austrian degrees — check recognition in your target country before enrolling
- Bachelor intakes in March and September; teaching runs in German and English depending on the course, with no separate fully English track announced on the Austrian site
