Tuition fees are subject to change. In this case, students already enrolled in a 5-year course are not subject to this fee change during the course of their studies. The only exception to this rule is that students completing a preparatory year will be required to pay the tuition fees indicated in the school’s sales documentation for the year in which they enter the first year, if they are accepted into the higher curriculum at the end of their preparatory year.

Tuition fees are the school’s main source of revenue, enabling us to pay our teaching staff and finance our infrastructure and the equipment we make available to our students, from filming equipment to the digital tools associated with the flipped classroom. The financial independence of ARTFX, one of the few schools that does not belong to a private higher education group, enables the school to invest the bulk of tuition fees in pedagogical innovation and teaching quality.
