Founded in 1996, Dasein Academy of Art continues its long-standing tradition of shaping Malaysia's creative landscape. Built on a mission to nurture individual artistry, Dasein Academy has produced generations of top-tier designers, illustrators, animators, and fine artists who now drive the creative industries both locally and globally.
Situated at Millerz Square on Old Klang Road, Dasein Academy’s modern, integrated campus offers students an ideal balance of academic excellence and lifestyle convenience. Surrounded by vibrant eateries and accessible public transit, the location provides a well-connected backdrop for urban student life.
At the core of Dasein Academy’s success is its trademarked “Edu-Mentoring” philosophy. It is a three-phase framework that prepares students for long-term creative success: it first bridges classroom theory with professional practice through small-class instruction and real-world industry collaborations; it then instills social responsibility by encouraging students to apply their skills toward meaningful community and ethical impact; and finally, it prioritizes individualized personal development in critical thinking, confidence, and creative voice.
Students regularly work on high-profile, real-world projects alongside major brands, including Starbucks, CelcomDigi, and EXSIM, gaining invaluable industry exposure, practical skills, and professional confidence before graduation.
The Academy’s commitment to educational quality was further highlighted at the prestigious 2025 Kancil Awards, where a Dasein Graphic Design lecturer was named “Lecturer of the Year.” This industry honor reflects not only individual teaching excellence, but also Dasein’s deep-rooted alignment with professional standards and creative leadership.
To keep creative education accessible, Dasein continues to offer a broad range of financial assistance, including scholarships and study grants to empower aspiring creators from all backgrounds to pursue their passion.
Looking ahead, Dasein Academy of Art remains focused on integrating emerging technologies with fine art traditions, ensuring its programs continue to evolve alongside the fast-paced, modern creative world.
