Student Testimonial
I have been meaning to change my field of work to fully involve myself in 3D design and animation. Fortunately I found NDS, enrolling here has tremendously helped me improve my skills in the 3D field, my creativity and helped me visually represent my ideas despite formerly being in a more technical field.
I chose NDS mostly because of its +Japan opportunities. Ever since becoming a student here, I've been able to benefit a lot from the +Japan events held actively in NDS. Not to mention I have a deep interest to learn about Japan, its language as well as its culture, so NDS aligns with what I mostly want to pursue. With the help from dedicated lecturers, I am able to thrive in my 3DA learning even though previously I worked in a field unrelated to art and has no background in art nor animation. So I'm currently happy with my decision of choosing NDS for my studies.
