Frequently asked questions
Are the courses delivered in-person or online?All courses within our two-year Concept Art program are conducted in-person at our New3dge campus located in Paris. Some sessions, such as feedback sessions, may be conducted online; however, our students are required to attend these sessions in person at the school.
Will the individuals mentioned on your website be our instructors?
Absolutely. Every person listed on our website has taught in our school. The educators may vary for the current and upcoming years, as we continually strive to enhance the program and secure the finest educators based on their availability.
What does a typical class schedule look like?
A typical school week comprises 35 hours of instructional time with an instructor, with classes running from 9am to 5pm daily, including a one-hour lunch break. There are also various projects in which students receive individual mentoring from instructors rather than participating in traditional classes.
Is it possible to enroll in only the first year of the program?
No, enrollment is only available for the full two-year program. We believe in ensuring the highest success rates for our students and providing a comprehensive education in concept art, which necessitates the completion of the entire two-year curriculum. To secure a spot among the 23 selected students, a commitment to a two-year contract is required.
What are the portfolio requirements?
We require a curated portfolio (ideally 10–15 pieces) showcasing your strongest, original work in both character and environment design. We prefer that you submit your portfolio via an ArtStation link.
What diploma or degree do I receive upon completion?
Upon completing our two-year program, you will receive a school diploma in Concept Art. We are actively working to obtain RNCP recognition, which will retroactively validate our diploma and enhance its official standing.
What language requirements are there?
All classes are conducted in English. We do not require standardized tests such as IELTS or TOEFL; your English proficiency is evaluated during the interview. There is no need to speak French to enroll in the program.
How do international students apply and what visa support is available?
International students follow the same application process as domestic students. Once accepted, we provide the necessary enrollment documents to support your student visa application. However, visa approval is subject to the French authorities, so we recommend contacting your local French consulate for detailed requirements.
Do you offer any housing assistance?
While we do not provide on-campus housing, we can refer you to reputable agencies that assist international students in finding accommodations in Paris. Many students successfully reduce costs by sharing apartments, especially near metro lines 12 and 13.
Do you offer open days or campus visits?
Yes! We host open days in November, during which prospective students can visit our campus, meet instructors, and get a feel for our environment and programs. Due to high demand, we are unable to schedule individual visits at other times of the year. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate unscheduled visits to our campus.
