A BOOMING INDUSTRY
Technological innovations—new consoles such as the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One S; the Pokémon Go phenomenon—and the explosion of free-to-play games have made the French video games industry one of the most dynamic, ahead of the music and film industries.
To respond to these new challenges, LISAA and MBA ESG have chosen to train future managers and producers in this industry.

ACCELERATING PROFESSIONAL INSERTION
The Video Game Production MBA puts everything in place to train professionals who are adapted to their environment: teaching conducted by professionals in the industry, a sandwich course alternating between the school and a company, professional breakfasts and conferences to help networking, participation in numerous trade fairs and events dedicated to video games: Paris Games Week, E3 in Los Angeles, Gamescom in Cologne, Tokyo Game Show…
During the year, students will produce a video game in a group, which will be put online. For this, they will lead third-year students on the bachelor’s course in 2-D/3-D Video Games in the production of their end-of-studies project. The oral exam will take place in front of a panel of professionals in the industry.
PRODUCTION PROFESSIONS IN BUSINESS
MBA graduates will work in production studios as video games producers and games directors, or professions directed towards the games business, such as live producers, economic/monetization designers or product managers.
