ISART Digital

Overview

ISART Digital is a private Parisian school specializing in video games, 3D animation, and visual effects. Founded in the early 2000s, it was built around a clearly professionalizing approach, with curricula designed in close connection with studios in the sector.

Disciplines

The programs are mainly divided into three major families: game design (gameplay design, level design, game production), video game programming (engines, real-time technologies), and digital art (game art, character and environment design, 3D animation, animated filmmaking).

The teaching approach relies heavily on collective project production: students from different tracks collaborate on games or short films, following a logic close to that of a studio. These productions form the core of the graduation portfolio, a decisive element for professional integration into these industries.

Strengths and context

The school maintains ongoing relationships with companies in the video game and animation industries, and offers work-study programs as well as internships. It also has international campuses, notably in Montréal and Japan, with mobility opportunities depending on the program.

Please note: this is a private, fee-paying institution, with significant tuition costs. Admission is based on application review and interview, with different expectations depending on the track (artistic portfolio or scientific aptitude). Always check the level of official recognition of the targeted diploma with the school.
