The curriculum

MoPA animation course

Discover, learn and master the world of animated films

The objective of our school is to train animation professionals, with a real artistic vision and an understanding of the challenges of filmmaking.
Our 3D animation course offers students career development prospects towards leadership roles as soon as you graduate.
MoPA offers training in 3D animation at the crossroads of art, cinema and technology, providing a rich and diverse background. The project-based teaching method, which favors teamwork, confronts students with multiple opportunities to make short films and to experiment with filmmaking.
