Work-study across the final two years is the real differentiator against ESMA, Rubika or New3dge. It radically changes the financial equation, since the employer and the OPCO cover the fees, and the professional experience you leave with.

The 3D Animation Cinema and VFX course runs five years, with a foundational artistic first year. Years one to three full time, years four and five on work-study contracts, with compulsory placements of one to three months in years two and three and a minimum of 26 weeks in companies across the final two years.

The content of the later years covers niche areas studios actively seek: character effects, dynamic simulation, production supervision. The stated positioning is the art and tech alliance, with an engineering track coexisting alongside the artistic ones, which is rare.

Partnerships announced with Epic Games, Ubisoft and DreamWorks. A presence in Montreal alongside Paris and Nice, useful if you are aiming at North America, though the Montreal course has its own structure and pricing.
