1–12 September 2025 | Campuses: The Level, The Penta & The Square
Are you starting your journey at Digital Arts & Entertainment this September?
Ease into your studies, meet your fellow students, and gain a solid foundation in your chosen major by joining our Introductory Courses, taking place the first two weeks of September.
WHY JOIN THE INTRODUCTORY COURSES?
These optional sessions are designed to give you an early boost before the official semester kicks off. You'll dive into key topics that are part of your curriculum, like: Math, Programming, IT Fundamentals, Career Skills, Audio, 3D, Preproduction (drawing), and Photoshop.
You won’t just be learning theory; most of the courses are taught by experienced DAE students, offering real insights and practical tips based on their own journey, in a relaxed, hands-on learning environment. It’s a great way to build confidence, ask questions, and start making connections in the DAE Community from day one.
