“What I learned the most at Hachette Disney is the entire process of creating a book, from its conception to its production. Also, through teamwork, we get to collaborate with the marketing, production and editorial departments.”

Angèle

Art Direction
“I learned a lot about interacting with professionals whose jobs are very different from mine — developers, producers, 3D artists. By sharing experiences with them, I gained a much deeper understanding of how a game is created and how it works.”

What student visa do I need to study in France?

For a long-term stay in France, you will need a VLS-TS student visa (Long-Stay Visa equivalent to a Residence Permit). The process varies depending on your nationality and country of residence. If your country requires a Campus France procedure, this must be completed first. Plan to submit your application at least 3 months before your departure.

BRASSART does not provide its own housing, but after admission you will receive a curated list of trusted student residences and platforms (including Studapart) through our partner Feel Français. Estimated monthly housing budget: €700 to €1,200 depending on the city.

Tuition fees range from €8,000 to €12,000 per year, payable in 1 or 3 instalments. Scholarships may be available through government funding or local partnerships.

Non-European students can access work-study contracts provided they hold a residence permit authorising work and have completed at least one year of studies in France in order to sign an apprenticeship contract.
