In Stage II we show you how your work contributes to and interacts with broader culture and media practice. This knowledge will enable you to work with a variety of other disciplines and artists and expand your potential on the global stage.

You will complete a number of real-world projects with students not only in your own discipline, but in all other SAE disciplines.

In Stage II, you will be given the opportunity to work as project specialists within the following areas.
