Date of the event : All year long Register here Register here

Want to visit in person and meet people to help you decide on your study plans? ARTFX OPEN CAMPUS events are made for you: once or twice a month, our campuses in Montpellier, Lille and Paris (Enghien-les-Bains) open their doors to small groups for guided tours that give you a taste of everyday life at the school (classes in session, chats with students, tours of the facilities and equipment). This is an event not to be missed if you are unable to attend the Open Days.

Are you looking for a practical, useful and personalised visit to help you decide on your study plans? ARTFX OPEN CAMPUS events are made for you! Once or twice a month, our campuses in Montpellier, Lille and Paris (Enghien-les-Bains) open their doors to small groups for guided tours that show the school as it is on a daily basis: classes in action, discussions with students, and a chance to explore the premises and facilities.

Why come to an OPEN CAMPUS?

- Visit a campus and get a feel for the atmosphere.
- Explore our courses (2D/3D Animation, VFX, Video Games, Programming, New Cinema with École 24/24 Acting).
- Meet the team: teaching staff, admissions, student life…
- Talk to our students: feedback, advice, current projects.
- Discover our student residences and plan a visit on the same day with our partners: Odalys for Montpellier or AFT-R for Lille Euracreative.

This is the best time to see if ARTFX is right for you, refine your choice of programme and clarify the admission schedule. If you are unable to attend the Open Days, OPEN CAMPUS events are not to be missed: held once or twice a month, in small groups and with FR/EN slots, they offer a great immersion experience — presentation of the school, guided tour of the facilities, discussions with the team and students, brochures available on site. Ideal for confirming your plans and asking all your questions without having to wait for the next Open Days.
