About

Since 1984, ECV has been the leading school in the fields of Design, Interior Architecture, Animation, Gaming, and Digital. Through five exceptional programs, the school emphasizes an educational approach that combines conceptual thinking with technical expertise. This methodology enables every talent to build a career within the most prestigious companies, agencies, and studios.

At ECV, we are more convinced than ever that nothing great can be achieved alone. Our staff and teaching teams are working towards a common goal, that of nurturing collective effectiveness in order to reach our full potential. To keep this promise, the ECV offers a favorable structure and an environment conducive to openness to others.

Our Values:
1. Teaching excellence
The ECV pays particular attention to the quality of its teaching and its teaching staff, which is made up of professionals who are recognized and distinguished in their field. Close and privileged exchanges with the agencies feed and develop the teaching content.

2. Network and recognition
The ECV has privileged relationships with agencies and major professional organisations, which are strengthened by the presence of its graduates in many sectors throughout the world. These relationships are invaluable for the future of our students.

3. Professionalism
At the heart of ECV’s teaching methods is work on real case studies from partner companies. These projects, which are selected for their school-company collaboration, enable students to come face-to-face with the realities of the workplace and its demands.

4. International
In a profession that has become borderless, training creative people who are mobile and open to the world is essential. ECV encourages its students to undertake internships abroad and to take advantage of university exchange agreements, by participating in international networks and events. The creation of programmes that respond to international issues within ECV Paris itself helps to enhance the school’s reputation and international standing.
