Years 4 and 5 3D Animation & Immersion Program

Program
3D Animation & Immersion (Years 4 and 5)

Whether in series, cinema, video games, or immersive experiences, current productions demand a level of specialization that enables future professionals to meet increasingly high-quality standards. The final two years of the 3D Animation & Immersion program allow students to refine and deepen their knowledge. These years are structured around numerous professionalization experiences, as well as the creation of a showreel and a final year project, allowing them to work with the most advanced and innovative technologies. By mastering the entire production pipeline, students’ project management and leadership skills become key assets for entering the professional world.

Teachings

The highlights of the
3D Animation & Immersion Program

During their 5th year of the program in 3D Animation & Immersion, students work on the production of an end-of-study project (animated film or video game). Beyond putting their learning into practice, carrying out this project allows them to work on the entire production pipeline and understand project management within studios. Students are supported throughout their 5th year thanks to personalized mentoring.
