MoPA recognized for academic excellence

A benchmark in animation training

For almost 25 years, MoPA 3D animation film school, based in Arles, has established itself as a reference in the world of animated cinema, in France and internationally. With more than 600 graduates, with 40% of them starting their careers abroad, MoPA ranks among the best animation film schools in the world. After a Level 7 RNCP Title registered and certified by the Ministry of Labor, the MoPA team is proud to announce that the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research has authorized the school to issue a BAC+5 Diploma by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

An internationally-recognized diploma

For several years, the RNCP Title issued by the Ministry of Labor has attested to an official level of qualification for MoPA. In 2024, the school finally reached the latest and highest recognition of academic excellence. The Official Bulletin No. 2 of January 11, 2024 issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research thus grants recognition by the State and authorization to issue the state-recognized diploma of Expert in Design, Production and 3D Animation (Bac + 5) by the Ministry of Higher Education.

MoPA earned this precious Visa (official endorsement) through a rigorous analysis of the school and its training. The educational program, lecturers, student works, evaluation system, partnerships, alumni career paths, international awards and even research - everything meticulously studied to guarantee the high level and quality of the diploma. And if the RNCP Title validates a level of qualification on the national sphere, this new recognition establishes the credentials of MoPA animation film school internationally!
