Are you a student looking for an animation, games, or VFX programme where you can truly follow your creative ambitions?
At Digital Arts & Entertainment (DAE), we welcome creative minds from all over the world.
In addition to our on-campus info days, we organise Online Open Days for those who cannot visit us in person. These sessions are designed to help you explore the programme, meet our team and students, and get clear answers to all your questions—so you can confidently decide if DAE is the right fit for you.
Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or already know what you’re looking for, our sessions will help you decide if DAE is the right fit for you.
