Graduated from their 1-year course (Game Art) and 6-month advanced diploma. Appreciate the lecturers and admin staff for the support and guidance. The school environment can be stressful, but the rewards reaped after studying here are worth it!

Just finished the Motion Design course here at 3DSense. The intensity of the course, along with lecturers, seniors, and classmates, has pushed me to grow and improve. It really helps one become industry-ready, both skill-wise and mentally. Shoutout to YP and Manfred!

I joined 3dsense Media School with virtually no art background, but was welcomed into a community of passionate students and dedicated faculty who made every challenge an opportunity to learn and grow.
The course is intense by nature; you’ll be getting a whole degree’s worth of lessons in one year. However, the structure and pace are excellent, and the lessons continuously build on the previous ones to provide constant growth for students. On top of being industry experts, the lecturers go beyond their technical skills to guide the students toward success. Each teacher brought a unique approach to their lessons, providing invaluable feedback, both inside and outside of class, that helped me refine my skills and gain confidence in my abilities as an artist.
One of the things that truly sets 3dsense apart is the strong sense of community. The school fosters a collaborative and supportive atmosphere where students actively help each other, both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, lecturers provide opportunities for students to present their work to other industry experts or the general public. This environment helped me thrive, manage stress, and continually push myself to improve.
I’m deeply grateful for my time here. Whether you are just starting your art journey or looking to build on your current foundation, I wholeheartedly recommend 3dsense Media School as the perfect place to nurture your growth as an artist.

I recently graduated from their Advanced Diploma Course in Animation. The facilities provided were top-notch and equipped with various industry-standard software. The community they built was very welcoming, and I am glad to have been a part of it!

I can’t think of a better school than 3DSense to kickstart a career in the game industry. Enrolling in the 1-year Game Art Course was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I never once regretted it! The skills you learn here are incredibly valuable and directly applicable to the industry.
The teachers are dedicated, supportive, and genuinely invested in students’ growth, both academically and personally. (Looking at you, Julian :))
If you’re passionate about game art and want top-tier guidance, this is the place to be!

If you're looking to learn relevant skills or improve existing ones, this school is the place for you. Regardless of your prior knowledge, this school pushes you to the limit to simulate real-life experience. Studies cover not only breadth but also depth, and I have not seen a school with teachers who are equally caring and capable (special mention to Julian!). The course will be grueling but fulfilling. Highly recommended for those willing to challenge themselves.

I took Game Art in 3DSense; I spent one of my best years learning something I truly enjoy. I met supportive, like-minded classmates and learned from caring teachers who are truly passionate in what they do. For some people, it's may be one of the most stressful years you might encounter due to its high intensity and simulation of real industry experiences. However, if you are passionate in your craft, have good time management skills, and want a push to step into the industry, I would highly recommend giving 3DSense a try.

Here's an edited version of the review with minor improvements and grammar fixes, while retaining the original meaning and sentiment:
"It's the right place to choose if you're looking to level up your 3D art skills as quickly as possible.
Just keep in mind that it is a very intensive one-year program. It won't be easy, and it will be tiring, but there will be a drastic increase in your skills by the end. The skills gained will be equivalent to or exceeding those from 3-4 year art programs.
The lecturers are highly skilled in their respective fields and provide extensive feedback that is personally tailored to each student.
I'd have given five stars, but the course fee for foreigners is very high. If it had been lower, I'd say this place is close to perfect for new artists to grow."

Studying at 3dsense over the last two years was an amazing experience. The lecturers and mentors are professional, thoughtful, and their engaging, up-to-date teaching methods, I believe, prepared me well for a studio pipeline. The school's location is very convenient, and you can stay there outside of classes, using it as a studio environment to work on assignments. I recommend 3dsense to anyone pursuing a digital art career, both 2D and 3D.

My time in 3Dsense has been a wonderful journey. Lecturers and friends in this school are very supportive and well-educated. Through hardships, they will always have each other's back and help each other to stay motivated as time goes on. I am very satisfied with my one-year results from the Game Art course, and very happy that 3Dsense has made me become a better person, both in mind and body.

I had the opportunity to complete the one-year DVE course at 3dsense Media School, where the environment is incredibly supportive, creative, and motivating.
The lecturers genuinely care about helping students succeed, and the curriculum is structured in a way that pushes you to do your best while always providing guidance when needed. The school fosters a strong sense of community and collaboration, and being surrounded by like-minded peers creates an atmosphere of constant inspiration.
Thank you, 3dsense, for such an enriching and transformative year!

Just graduated from 3DSense's Motion Design course. I entered with some prior knowledge of 2D animation, but I wanted to add 3D to my skillset, as well as improve on my design skills.
The course is headed by two very knowledgeable lecturers who will push you to do better, even if you have experience. Lessons were well structured. It was a very intensive course aimed to get us industry-ready within a year, so be prepared!
May Koh A
Recently graduated from their Advanced Diploma in Animation. Coming in with no prior experience in 3D, I found the course accessible and easy to follow. Although one and a half years was very intense, the lecturers were very helpful and supportive and the school has a strong and welcoming community. I'm very grateful for the experience and growth that I gained at 3dsense.
Min Yee
I recently graduated from the Diploma in Motion Design (DMD), and I must say the curriculum is intensive but rewarding. The course is well-structured, covering everything from design fundamentals to advanced motion graphics techniques. I'm happy to share that I entered without knowing much about design tools, and after a year of honing my design sense, I am now a much more confident creative.
A huge shoutout to my amazing lecturers who made my experience truly special! Their industry experience and dedication go beyond just teaching—they mentor, inspire, and challenge us to push boundaries. And let's not forget the tight-knit community fostered between juniors and seniors through a shared learning environment and review sessions. The people there definitely helped make the intensive curriculum more fun and bearable.

Julian and Derrick were excellent mentors during my time studying 3D game art and design at 3dsense! They took the time to answer my questions even outside of class, and were very kind and patient when explaining concepts I was unfamiliar with. I came in with no experience and left with an industry-ready portfolio. They also have pathways to universities in the US and UK, which I pursued to further my education.
On one occasion, even years after leaving school, I needed help and messaged Julian (former Ubisoft), who responded and tried to help me with my issue. Class culture was great, and everyone would willingly help each other out. I'm glad I got to meet some amazing and passionate artists who studied alongside me, and I'm sure the experience would be the same for anyone thinking of enrolling at 3dsense :)
