3iSthe International Institute of Image and Sound, reaches a new milestone in its global reach. At the start of the school year in September 2026, the school is opening two entirely English-speaking courses dedicated to animated cinema and video games – and the ambitions displayed go well beyond French borders.
Two new courses of excellence in animation and video games

Thus, the courses are designed to immerse students in production pipelines strictly identical to those of the world’s major studios. The language of teaching is 100% English, which opens the door to both French candidates and international profiles.
The Bachelor & Master in Animation covers 2D and 3D animation, character design and creating immersive worlds. For his part, the Bachelor & Master in Video Game encompasses the entire creative and technological chain of gaming: game design, programming and technical art.
International recognition already acquired in video games
The school does not arrive on this ground without references. In 2025, the Institute rose to the 4th place in the world in the “Console Games” category of The Rookies ranking, a reference in the digital creative training sector.
Consequently, these new courses are based on a solid foundation. Expertise in video games is already recognized on a global scale, which reinforces the legitimacy of the offer for candidates from all over the world.
“This expansion is part of a strong sectoral dynamic: the global market for digital creation, animated cinema and video games is experiencing unprecedented growth. It is to respond to these global challenges that 3iS has chosen to globally expand its offer of international training provided in English. HAS”
