to France!
ARTFX chose not to open campuses abroad, to attract talent from all over the world to France and train them with the “French Touch”, synonymous with technical excellence and creativity. With more than 50 nationalities among the current students at the school, it operates with a beneficial cultural mix. English-speaking international classes are available from the 1st year. Gradually, all classes switch to 100% English-language teaching, to prepare students for an intercultural professional environment and/or an international career.
