School of Animation
Having participated in more than 200 international festivals, the films produced by the students of our animation school receive prestigious awards. Genuine recognition from the world of professional filmmaking!
For more than 25 years, the MoPA School of Animation has combined creation, passion and technology. Internationally recognised, our school offers outstanding training in 3D animation.
The numerous awards won at various festivals demonstrate the artistic and cinematographic standards and technical expertise of our students.
Our degrees are the gateway to careers at the world's leading animation and video game studios. In 2024, MoPA reached the highest level of academic recognition: the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research granted the school official State recognition and the authority to award the accredited Master's-level degree (Diplôme Visé, Bac+5) in 3D Design, Animation and Production for its 3D Animation Filmmaking program. The Stop Motion program, whose first intake is scheduled for September 2027, is designed to lead to a Level 6 RNCP qualification dedicated to careers in directing and filmmaking (equivalent to a Bac+3/4 degree).
MoPA is accredited by the RECA, providing students with a guarantee of transparency and a mark of quality, credibility and compliance.

Ready to enter the industry from day one, our graduates benefit from a comprehensive education that prepares them for careers in France and around the world, including leadership positions. MoPA ranks among the top three animation schools with the highest graduate employment rate, with 80% of graduates employed in careers related to their degree within 24 months.
MoPA is a private higher education establishment.
Explore the animated films and other projects created by our students, from their Foundation Year to their graduation film, and discover the creative talents of tomorrow.
