Angoulême

Cnam-Enjmin is located in Angoulême at the heart of the MAGELIS image campus, which is a cluster of higher education establishments, which have made a name for themselves in arts, cinema, audio-visual and digital media studies.

Originally Cnam-Enjmin shared premises with the Cité Internationale de la Bande Dessinée et de l'Image (CIBDI), but in September 2014 the school moved into the “Le Nil” building.
