ECV Creative Schools & Community

ECV Creative Schools & Community, commonly known as ECV, is a private French higher-education group specializing in visual communication, graphic design, digital creation, animation, and video games. Founded as the École de Communication Visuelle, it operates several urban campuses across France and offers bachelor- and master-level programs, many of which are registered with the RNCP (Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles). The institution emphasizes project-based learning, professional internships, and portfolio development, with strong ties to creative agencies, studios, and the broader design industry. The group is part of the wider French private higher-education landscape and positions itself as a creative school rather than a traditional research university. It welcomes students from France and abroad through partnerships, exchange programs, and direct admissions, and provides training in fields such as art direction, motion design, 3D animation, game design, and user experience design.
