The Cologne Game Lab - Technische Hochschule Köln (TH Köln), Cologne, Germany
The Cologne Game Lab, known as CGL, is the Institute for Game Research and Development at the University of Arts, Science and Technology of Cologne and was founded in 2010.
CGL offers the most prestigious degree programmes and courses in the field of video game development in Germany.
Since 2019, our two institutions have offered the possibility of a dual-degree programme. This allows students to obtain both the Cnam-Enjmin diploma "Master's degree in Video Games and Digital interactive Media (JMIN)" and the CGL diploma "M.A. Digital Games" in just 2 years.
This dual-degree programme is aimed at students interested in research and teaching.
L’École des arts numériques de l’animation et du design (NAD) – University of Quebec in Chicoutimi (UQAC), Montreal, Canada
The School of Digital Arts, Animation and Design (École des arts numériques, de l'animation et du design) at the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi, known as The NAD School, is a training, research and development institution in 3D animation, visual effects, design and digital arts founded in 1992 by the Cégep de Jonquière. In 2008, the school became a campus of the University of Quebec in Chicoutimi (UQAC).
The NAD School is a renowned institution whose graduates go on to work in the American film industry and digital simulation industries (aeronautics, medical, engines...).
From September 2026, a dual-degree programme will be offered to students on the JMIN Master's degree (Cnam-Enjmin) and on the DESS diploma in Narrative Video Game Design (DESS en design de jeu vidéo narratif) (NAD-UQAC School). This replaces the Passerelle Bridge programme that was started in 2024.
The programme is available to students on the Game Design and Game Art tracks in the Master's degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media (JMIN). It is for individuals who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in Narrative Design.
Cnam-Enjmin students have the possibility to complete the second year of their master's studies at NAD-UQAC School, thereby replacing the second year of the JMIN Master's degree.
Students on the DESS diploma course can equally complete the second year of the master's degree programme at Cnam-Enjmin at the end of their studies in Montreal.
Universidad ORT, Montevideo, Uruguay
ORT is Uruguay's largest private university. It is part of the World ORT "Association for the Promotion of Skilled Trades", an international network of schools and programmes operating in over 60 countries.
Since 2019, Cnam-Enjmin and ORT work together on an international learning mobility programme enabling Uruguayan students in the final year of the Bachelor's degree in Animation and Video Games to complete a study semester on the Master's degree in Video Games and Digital Interactive Media (JMIN) programme at Cnam-Enjmin in Angoulême.
The School of Architecture, Art and Design - Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), Guadalajara, Mexico
The Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM), better known as Tecnológico de Monterrey or simply Tec de Monterrey, is a private institution created in 1943. It currently boasts 26 campuses across Mexico. The partnership with Cnam-Enjmin concerns the campus located in the city of Guadalajara, the Mexican Silicon Valley.
The Tecnológico de Monterrey has been classed as one of the best universities in the Spanish-speaking world according to QS Latin America & The Caribbean University Ranking.
Within the framework of the call for projects for the French Local Authorities Financing Facility (FICOL) of the French Development Agency (AFD), the Grand Angoulême Urban Community and its Mexican counterpart, the Municipality of Zapopán, set up a cooperation project called Confluencia Creativa.
Cnam-Enjmin was asked to actively participate in this ambitious programme which is in line with the France-Mexico bilateral agenda. It was piloted by the Grand Angoulême Urban Community and focused on a common priority: Cultural and Creative Industries.
Confluencia Creativa (2019-2023) paved the way for the creation of the Master's degree in Creative Media and Digital Art – MAM-L at the Tec de Monterrey in collaboration with two prestigious French schools dedicated to Visual Image: The European School of Visual Arts (l’École européenne supérieure de l’image, ÉESI) and The School of Animation Film Professions (l’École des métiers du cinéma d’animation, ÉMCA), both of which are located in Angoulême. In addition, the Municipality of Zapopán was able to benefit from Cnam-Enjmin’s expertise through a skills transfer piloted by Eurekatech, the GrandAngoulême technology park, and Magelis Creative Hub. Joint actions were also organised to allow entrepreneurs from both creative ecosystems of Angoulême and Zapopán to travel to the other in the context of the project.
The consortium of schools in Angoulême is currently working on the content of a future project called Ensamble Creativo (2026-2029).
