Applying to 3iS: your questions
How can Dimensions France help me get into 3iS?
We start from your profile: your grades, your degree, your budget and what you want to do after your studies. From that we help you choose the 3iS programme where your application is strongest. Then we build the application with you, so that it is as strong as it can be: we work on your CV and statement of purpose, check every document the school asks for, and submit the file on time. Because 3iS is a Dimensions France partner school, we send your application straight to its admissions team and you pay no application fee. If the school invites you to an interview, we prepare you for it. 3iS makes the final decision, and admission is never guaranteed.
What does a strong application to 3iS need?
Three things carry most of the weight: your academic record, a statement of purpose that explains why this programme fits your studies so far and your plans, and proof of your level in the teaching language. Private schools such as 3iS usually add an interview, and for a Master’s they look at how your first degree connects to the subject. We read your file the way an admissions team would, tell you honestly where it is weak, and help you fix what can be fixed before it is sent.
What English level do I need for 3iS?
3iS sets the English level for each programme; for English-taught degrees in France this is normally level B2 or above, shown by a test such as IELTS or TOEFL. Some schools waive the test if your previous degree was taught in English. We check the exact score for the programme you choose before you book a test.
When should I apply to 3iS?
For a September start, applications to 3iS are open from October to July; for a January start, from July to November. Once your documents are ready we need about 5 days to submit, the school then holds its interview, and the whole process takes about 30 days. Applying early leaves more choice of programmes and more time for your student visa.
Which programmes at 3iS are taught in English?
10 of the programmes listed on this page are taught fully in English, including BA in 2D/3D Animation (English, Paris), BA in Film & TV (English, Paris), BA in Sound Engineering (English, Bordeaux) and BA in Video Game Design (English, Paris). Tell us your background and we will tell you which of them you are eligible for.
What does it cost to apply to 3iS with Dimensions France?
One fee of €250 covers your whole admissions file: up to 7 public universities, up to 3 partner schools and any number of top schools. It is paid in full when you start and is not refundable. 3iS charges no application fee when you apply through us, and you receive €1,000 cashback from Dimensions France, paid in instalments while you stay enrolled.
