Digital Campus opens in Toulouse.
Digital Campus Toulouse will open its doors to students next October.
It is in the “Pink City” that Digital Campus has decided to set up its third school, after Bordeaux—the pilot city where Digital Campus has been established since 2011—and Rennes, where the school opened its doors for the 2013 academic year. Digital Campus will also open a campus in Lyon for the 2014 academic year.
The arrival in the capital of the Midi-Pyrénées region is no small matter for Eva Garraud, Digital Campus's Development Director, because here too “the ground is fertile in the digital sector.” “It is a genuine response to the expectations of Midi-Pyrénées businesses,” adds Sophie Sellerian, the campus director, “the success of La Mêlée Numérique, Digital Campus Toulouse's leading partner, is proof of that.”
Ahead of the school's actual opening, Digital Campus is organising a grand inaugural evening on January 30, orchestrated by Rabbit Killerz VJ, a duo of multidisciplinary artists (motion designers, video jockeys, set-design visual artists). The evening will be launched by Sophie Sellerian, accompanied by Edouard Forzi, Managing Director of La Mêlée Numérique; Franck Zanini, Managing Director of the CGPME (French confederation of small and medium-sized enterprises); Alain Seryes, Chair of the SICOVAL economic development commission; Pierre Edouard Schmitt, director of IESA Multimédia; and Charlotte Campanella, Executive Director of the ESG Group.
Digital Campus Toulouse students: the new conquerors of the digital world
Innovation, creativity, professionalisation… these are the watchwords of Digital Campus.
35 students from ECRAN will join Digital Campus, which will have 90 students when it opens in October 2014. The next applicants for the Web Project Manager Bachelor's programme will be selected on the basis of their application, then invited to an interview followed by a workshop during which, in teams of two, they will have to create and bring to life a Facebook page in an original way within 3 hours. Passing this test confirms admission to the school. Applicants for the Master's in “Digital Strategy Director”, open to those with a Bachelor's degree (Bac+3), will also sit a written exam and an interview. Students holding a two-year higher-education qualification (Bac+2) can apply to join an upgrading year in order to subsequently enrol in a Master's programme.
Toulouse, always at the cutting edge of innovation…
“Digital Campus Toulouse passionately cultivates a taste for entrepreneurship and innovation.”
This school is the answer to the current digital trend. “There are many job offers but few training programmes,” says Sophie Sellerian. “Digital Campus, already present in Toulouse, is the only school in France training young people in design, development and web marketing careers all at once.” Digital careers are vast: graphic design, web development, video, and so on. Today, having solid knowledge in these various fields is essential. Our approach to success: skill, willpower, curiosity, networking, honesty, high standards, commitment, originality, perseverance, ingenuity, dreams and projects.
