Cnam-Enjmin's International Vision

The Cologne Game Lab, known as CGL, is the Institute for Game Research and Development at the University of Arts, Science and Technology of Cologne and was founded in 2010.

CGL offers the most prestigious degree programmes and courses in the field of video game development in Germany.

Since 2019, our two institutions offer the possibility of a dual degree programme. This allows students to obtain both the Cnam-Enjmin diploma "Master's degree in Video Games and Digital interactive Media" and the CGL diploma "M.A. Digital Games" in just 2 years.

This dual degree programme is aimed at students interested in research and teaching.

The School of Digital Arts, Animation and Design (École des arts numériques, de l'animation et du design) at the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, known as The NAD School, is a training, research and development institution in 3D Animation, Visual Effects, Design and Digital Arts founded in 1992 by the Cégep de Jonquière. In 2008, the school became a campus of the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi (UQAC).

The NAD School is a renowned institution whose graduates go on to work in the American film industry and digital simulation industries (aeronautics, medical, engines...).

Since 2024, a Passerelle programme has been available to students in the Game Design specialisation on the Master's degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media programme. It allows them to complete their first year of studies in Montreal and obtain the DESS diploma in Narrative Video Game Design (DESS en design de jeu vidéo narratif) from the NAD-UQAC School. The second year of the Master's degree takes place in Angoulême, therefore allowing students to obtain the Master's diploma from Cnam-Enjmin.

Students on the DESS diploma course equally have the opportunity to complete the second year of the Master's degree programme at Cnam-Enjmin at the end of their studies in Montreal.

The Jilin Animation Institute is a private institution, recognised by the Chinese Ministry of Education, located in the city of Changchun, the birthplace of Animation, Video Games and Comics in China.

The Digital Media Technologies specialty is classed as the "Speciality of Excellence" in the Jilin Province.

Cnam-Enjmin is working with the Jilin Animation Institute within the framework of the International Master's degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media. Our school will welcome around 20 Chinese students on the programme each year.

ORT is Uruguay's largest private university. It is part of the World ORT "Association for the Promotion of Skilled Trades", an international network of schools and programmes operating in over 60 countries.

Since 2019, Cnam-Enjmin and ORT work together on an international learning mobility programme enabling Uruguayan students in the final year of the Bachelor's degree in Animation and Video Games to complete a study semester on the Master's degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media programme at Cnam-Enjmin in Angoulême.

The Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), better known as Tecnológico de Monterrey or simply Tec de Monterrey, is a private institution created in 1943. It currently boasts 26 campuses across Mexico. The partnership with Cnam-Enjmin concerns the campus located in the city of Guadalajara, the Mexican Silicon Valley.

The Tecnológico de Monterrey has been classed as one of the best universities in the Spanish-speaking world according to QS Latin America & The Caribbean University Ranking.

Within the framework of the call for projects for the French Local Authorities Financing Facility (FICOL) of the French Development Agency (AFD), the Grand Angoulême Urban Community and its Mexican counterpart, the Municipality of Zapopán, set up a cooperation project called Confluencia Creativa.

Cnam-Enjmin was asked to actively participate in this ambitious programme which is in line with the France-Mexico bilateral agenda. It was backed by GrandAngoulême and focused on a common priority: Cultural and Creative Industries.

Confluencia Creativa (2019-2023) paved the way for the creation of the Master's degree in Creative Media and Digital Art – MAM-L at the Tec de Monterrey in collaboration with 2 prestigious French schools dedicated to Visual Image: The European School of Visual Arts (l’École européenne supérieure de l’image, ÉESI) and The School of Animation Film Professions (l’École des métiers du cinéma d’animation, EMCA), both of which are located in Angoulême.

The consortium of schools in Angoulême is currently working on the content of a future project called Nueva Confluencia Creativa (2026-2029).

Ranked as the 3rd best Animation School in the world and the 2nd best in Europe (according to Animation Career Review), The Animation Workshop is part of the Business, Technology and Creative Industries School of the VIA University College.

Cnam-Enjmin has teamed up with VIA within the framework of the European project AVENUE (Audiovisual Education and Training Network for European Vocational Excellence). The aim is to support the development of a qualified and cutting-edge workforce in the European Visual Creation Industry through the creation of 5 national centres of professional excellence (CoVE) in the fields of Animation, Video Games, VFX, Visual Storytelling and XR.

The 4-year project (2025-2029), financed by the European Commission and coordinated by VIA University College, has the following members: Politecnico di Torino (Italy), Breda University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands) and Institute of Design, Art and Technology (Ireland).

As for the Video Game CoVE, in addition to our institution, the project boasts the participation of Ubisoft and Magelis Pôle Image.
