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.
