The professional environment
Our approach closely follows our professional sector’s development. Being a fast-evolving sector of sustainable growth, it is experiencing a paradigm shift with artisanal work vision meeting industrial work vision.
Aware of the issues before us and well beyond purely academic matters, the professional world supported the creation of our school with confidence and benevolence.
We move forward collegially to structure our students’ professional integration and to set up monitoring all along their careers.
All our teachers and speakers have active roles in the professional sector. We regularly invite the studios to participate in juries and organise days dedicated to meetings between students and studios. Through these events we mainly aim at promoting students’ professional integration.
We can proudly count on the presence, involvement and trust of the most important companies in our sector such as Illumination Mac Guff, Mikros Images, TeamTo, Cube Creative, La Station Animation.
Many animation professionals, artists and technicians working all over the world have wanted to support our school by becoming its sponsors. This is the assurance of international influence and the construction of a strong network fully attentive to our students.
AVIGNON UNIVERSITY
Establishing École des Nouvelles Images in the heart of such artistic cradle and land of the international Festival d’Avignon each year gathering more than 130 000 people around the love of Theatre, allows us to ambition creating close relationships with the various cultural actors.
