International Strategy and Partnerships

The new Cnam-Enjmin school project makes the international influence of our school a priority axis of its development by backing it up with the expansion of relations with digital industries.

The international dimension is a means that we favour to consolidate the pedagogical excellence of our institution, to develop student and teaching staff mobility, to share our expertise towards the interactive digital media industries and to implement new transnational training offers as well as collaborative research programs.

The Cnam-Enjmin, a prestigious higher education institution open to the world

The French Graduate School of Games and Interactive Media (Enjmin) is one of the renowned institutes and schools of the National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts (Cnam), a Scientific, Cultural and Professional Public Institution – better known as a “Grand établissement”, literally a “Great Institution” – under the supervision of the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI).

The Cnam-Enjmin is a member of the Syndicat National du Jeu Vidéo (SNJV) network - the French Video Game Trade Association - and the Campus de l'Image Magelis*, it benefits from the support of all local and regional public institutions: the City of Angoulême, the Grand Angoulême Urban Community, the Charente Departmental Council and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region.

The French company Ubisoft – one of the world's largest video game publishers – is a privileged partner of our school.

Ubisoft and Cnam-Enjmin have expanded their international cooperation by participating, as part of a European consortium, in the Erasmus+ Program call for proposals 2020 in the fields of education, training, youth and sport in partnership with two renowned higher education institutions: "The Cologne Game Lab" (Germany) and "U-tad Centro Universitario de Tecnología y Arte Digital" (Spain).

It is important to highlight that the Cnam-Enjmin adheres to the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) since its creation in 2014, which allows it to participate in the different actions of the program, including learning mobility (students, staff) as well as international cooperation and sharing of experiences between video game and interactive digital media educational institutions.

In addition, we are currently working on the creation of an international master's degree in Video Game Design and Development. This unique master's degree should welcome about sixty students per year group from all over the world.


* Created in 1997, the Pôle Image Magelis is an economic development centre for the image industry in the Charente department whose sectors of activity are comics, animation, video games and filming. Its Campus de l'Image is made up of twelve nationally and internationally renowned schools located in Angoulême.
