Applicants are required to have a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent. Candidates who have studied abroad must request a certificate of comparability at the ENIC-NARIC France Center. 

• If you don't have a Bachelor's degree, you may apply for a Validation of Acquired Professional Skills (VAP) 
• If your degree is not recognized by ENIC-NARIC you may apply for a Validation of Higher Education Studies (VES) 

Due to the specific nature of our training program, which is both technical and artistic, we have set up a competitive entrance examination to assess candidates' knowledge and motivation in the field of games and interactive media. 

Stage 1: Candidates holding a bachelor’s degree, or its equivalent, are shortlisted on the basis of a motivation letter, CV, selection of pieces of personal art works and Creative Dossier. Please note that all documents must be submitted in English. 

Stage 2: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an online written English test if no proof of the minimum English level required is provided at Stage 1.  

Stage 3: Shortlisted applicants will participate in a 30-minute online interview.  

The entrance exam is organized in several stages, as mentioned above. It is held every year from January to April, for a September entry.  

For the September 2026 intake, the specifications of the first stage of the competitive examination will be published in January 2026. 

All required elements must be submitted on the dedicated platform (application link coming soon)
