The industry is built on passion, commitment, and hard work. You will need these 3 qualities if you want to succeed at DAE.

On top of that, as an exchange student, there are a few things you should consider when composing your Learning Agreement and choosing your course units:

Choose course units from maximum 2 different majors. You can find detailed information of all DAE courses and majors on the DAE website.
Make sure you have the necessary knowledge to follow a course. When choosing a second-year course, make sure you have mastered the prerequisites (e.g. When choosing 3D3 in the VFX major, you need to have the skills of 3D 1 AND 3D 2 AND 3D Pipeline.)
When joining DAE during the Spring semester, you can only choose courses from semesters 2 and 4.
When joining DAE during the Autumn semester, you can only choose courses from semesters 1, 3 and 5.
Do you have a portfolio? We’d love to take a look to see if you’re a good fit and to create a personalized programme for you.

Lastly, the moment you become part of DAE, you become a member of its community – a vibrant, international community where you are free to attend a wide range of activities, study nights, student-led workouts, workshops…

With the support of a community team, we pledge to our students our commitment to upholding a campus culture of open-mindedness, inclusivity, acceptance, and connection. Each of us brings a different story to DAE – we look forward to hearing yours!
