Second best school in France, fifth best school in Europe and eighth best school in the world, the figures from the Animation Carrer Review site, which ranks the best 3D animation schools each year, are enough to make ESMA smile, based in Montpellier in particular. More than honorable results for the school specializing in artistic professions, created in 1993, which above all puts forward the talent of its students.
195 schools in the world are ranked by the site specializing in the 3D animation and video game sector, according to the following criteria: the teaching, the program, the academic reputation, the number of graduates or the rate of integration into the job market after -diploma. It is on this last criterion that ESMA particularly impresses with a rate of 100% professional integration within 9 months after graduation.
Present in Montpellier, as well as in 3 other cities in France, while waiting for the opening in Bordeaux in 2023, ESMA trains many students in 3D animation in 4 years. Among the students who have gone through this school, more than 2000 work in the world’s biggest studios such as Disney or Sony. A figure which is welcomed by the school, present since the start of the 2020 school year on the Creative Campus of Montpellier, near Parc Montcalm, which continues to train nearly 700 students each year.
