International
reputation
Created and animated by professionals from the creative industries, ARTFX was one of the 1st schools in France to offer a course in 3D animation and special effects. It is ranked each year among the best creative schools worldwide in special effects, video games, and animation. The school’s reputation, which has close ties with the greatest studios in the world, ensures that its students have a very good professional integration rate. Also, the professional title qualification. delivered at the end of the Master’s course (level 7: Master Level) is recognized at a European level, via the official french registration with the RNCP (National Registry of Professional Certification). In France, a degree is considered ‘national’ when it is recognised by the RNCP, meaning accredited by the French State. This recognition is a guarantee of quality.
Welcome
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. Some international classes exclusively English-speaking are opened starting in the 1st year. Then progressively, all classes switch over to being taught exclusively in English, to prepare students for the professional world where English is required.
