THE SCHOOL FOR MOVING IMAGE PROFESSIONALS The POLE 3D Digital and Creative School was founded in 2003 by Antoine Durieu, to train immediately operational content creators and designers. Dispensing degrees recognised by both State and the animation industry, the school strives to create the good working environment so students can study a comprehensive curriculum geared to the world of work. Students are trained in the realities of business and join animated film, special effects and video game studios upon completing their studies. Openings also exist in communication and advertising agencies, architect firms and web agencies. THE SCHOOL AT THE VERY HEART OF LA PLAINE IMAGES POLE 3D and La Plaine Images are partners and offer students the chance to add La Plaine Images's business incubation programme to their studies. In doing so, they also have access to a vast network of professionals, through internships, and responses to business needs and considerations. Students can use the school’s business incubation tools to develop their business ideas and then make the switch from a business idea to a start-up company incubator. Similarly, start-up companies at La Plaine Images can access the school’s tools and Factories, which foster exchanges with students. LILLE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF ART & DESIGN POLE 3D Digital and Creative School joined Lille Catholic University as an independent organisation belonging to the Multi-Disciplinary University Federation of Lille, while sharing the same values and desires to become a worldrenowned creative campus. Lille Catholic University’s multi-disciplinary learning offer, combined with POLE 3D’s digital design expertise, cultivates unprecedented synergies of skills.
