Hello guys.
I am 22. Electronic Musician, Italian, currently living in Brazil.
I have a degree in Advertising/Marketing but my real passion is music.

I currently live from it actually. Tight budget but I am happy.

I always wanted to take my audio career further and study on some audio school in the UK.

After some small research I've found out about SAE Oxford, the new HQ.
At first it seemed like a good idea. 3 years (Diploma, Degree, SAE Tonmeister) Quite expensive.. but their marketing really almost fooled me.

When I deeply searched about it the impression I have now is that almost everyone seems to have one single opinion: sae is not worth it.

Then I recently I bumped into LIPA ...
Now peoples opinions about this one is quite the opposite.

I read people saying they actually read a CV if it comes from a Surrey Tonmeister or LIPA student.

Unfortunately Surrey is not an option as I don't have enough music grades.

I haven't found any topics discussing this SAE x LIPA especifically.

I am not really new to audio.
What I want "now" is to learn as much as I can for my own use actually. I don't plan on working on a studio... But as we never know what will happen in the future, maybe I change my mind... or maybe the electronic music I make turns over and dies.. who knows? I need a course that will get deeply on the matters. not barely scratch the surface of many things (if you know what I mean)

So I would like to know from u guys what do u think about it? Time nor money are concern...
LIPA Sound Technology (3yrs) or SAE Tonmeister (3yrs) ?

Thanks a lot in advance guys!
Looking forward for your replies!
