Throughout the program, students design and produce original video games in real studio conditions — from concept and prototyping to full production. Working in multidisciplinary teams, they create playable demos and a final graduation game presented before a professional jury. Each graduate leaves with a strong portfolio, a demo reel, and real industry experience.
Students train on the software and engines used in leading game studios:
Unity, Unreal Engine, Houdini, Blender, Maya, Substance Painter, Zbrush, Photoshop, and Nuke. They also gain experience with AR/VR tools, motion capture, and sound integration pipelines.
Upon completion of the program, students are awarded a state-recognized Master’s degree (RNCP Level 7).
Our dedicated Career Path program (“Parcours Pro”) supports students every step of the way, from training to professional success.
Graduates are equipped for a wide range of roles in the global gaming industry, including:
Game Designer, Level Designer, Game Artist, 3D Modeler, Technical Artist, Animator, Game Programmer, or Project Lead.
3iS alumni now work with top studios in France and abroad, contributing to games for console, PC, mobile, and VR/AR platforms.
