Victor B.

The perfect school for the transition from secondary school to working life, a really hands-on way of learning so you’re never bored, lecturers from the professional world, and great encounters with some esports stars

Guillaume L.

Ideal location, superb premises. And above all, staff who listen and take great care of students.

Audibert O.

Great school and a top-notch teaching team!

Valentine Florens

A teaching team that is very close to its students, high-quality teaching and a stimulating educational approach: Gaming Campus has all these qualities! I’ve been at the Bordeaux campus for a year, where we’ve been able to study alongside industry professionals. When students struggle, the teaching team adapts to help them (very quickly setting up a tutoring system). Great atmosphere and facilities, with sofas, big screens and quality equipment!

Emma LO YI YOCK

I’ve just started my second year on this campus and everything is going really well. The lecturers are brilliant, always there to help and encourage us. The atmosphere is friendly and I feel really good here. I’m happy to be part of this school!

Agathe Lassié

A school on a human scale, offering a varied and entirely coherent curriculum to prepare students for working life.
A committed and attentive teaching team, an ideal location in Bordeaux and well-equipped premises.
I recommend it!

Ethan BIARDOUX

A very good school, with teaching that is close to the students; the lecturers are relevant and attentive. I recommend it! I’m very happy to be at the Bordeaux school this year and in the years to come!

Vincent Marques

As a student at Gaming Campus since the start of the year, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very human teaching team who really want students to succeed. Unlike universities, which leave students free to do as they please, the support here is very personalised, with small classes and high-quality lecturers. It’s a very pleasant atmosphere to study in. Very happy to have found this school for my future plans.

Antoine P.

I’ve only been teaching on the G-Tech track (software developer, specialising in video games) since this year, but my impression of this school is very positive for several reasons. First of all, the curriculum is highly relevant for video game training. It combines theoretical teaching (maths, C++, …) with practical cases on motivating projects. The school has also made an effort with the layout of its rooms and common areas, making the place pleasant and « gamer »-oriented. Small class sizes allow for individualised teaching, which is very beneficial for students. Finally, the administrative/teaching team is very present and attentive, both to us teachers and to the students. In short, a very positive experience! If needed, you can contact me on LinkedIn.

Thomas B.

A very good school; project-based learning works extremely well. The lecturers chosen are quite relevant and the choice of projects allows very encouraging progress. In addition, the equipment needed for work and projects is provided, and adjustments can easily be made where possible. Students like me and my classmates can therefore work on campus without any problem. The staff are welcoming, look after students’ well-being and don’t hesitate to interact with them, always respectfully but without tension. Campus life isn’t bad either; most students get on well. Student life also tends to be active, with a student union determined to achieve its goals. I don’t know what the schools are like in Paris and Lyon, but for now the Bordeaux campus is a little paradise

Bruno D.

My son did his Year 10 work placement at Gaming Campus and he « absolutely loved it ». A very warm welcome from teachers and students, and a good balance of presentations, immersion and exchanges with teachers and students to discover every side of the schools in 1 week. I highly recommend it! Don’t hesitate to contact the teaching team.

Cyril C

My experience on the full one-year video editor + motion design course was more than satisfying. I really enjoyed the classes, with attentive and available trainers and impeccable supervision. I discovered a new passion for motion design. Special mention to Jonathan, the head of studies, for his responsiveness and support throughout the programme

Christophe LOEIL

My son, who wants to be a video game programmer, wants to join Gaming Campus Lyon. This placement allowed him to spend a week as a programmer, 6 hours a day. He enjoyed the content of the placement and the exchanges with the teacher.

Mateo Giraud

Very interesting programmes, with project-based learning that lets us create more concrete things. And teaching that listens to students.

David Raffin

For a Year 11 work placement for my son, who has a disability. A perfect welcome; all the staff/lecturers were smiling and kind. Integration and group dynamics were very well managed by the teachers.
The premises are clean and the rooms are very good

Yoris Goncalves

A very good experience that really immerses you in video game careers.

Tristan Mhl

I’ve just finished my first year on this campus and I really enjoyed the school. The location is ideal, the computer rooms are very well equipped, and the little terrace overlooking the Garonne is superb.

" Gaming Campus setting up in Bordeaux is excellent news, as it helps develop the video game industry in Nouvelle-Aquitaine – all the more so as the region has historically been a stronghold of video games. Bordeaux’s video game ecosystem, started in part by Kalisto and Nicolas Gaume in 1990, has given rise to real success stories such as Ubisoft Bordeaux, Asobo and Shiro Games, as well as the creation of a multitude of independent studios throughout the region (Angoulême, Poitiers and Limoges). Our ambition is to make Bordeaux the French Silicon Valley of video games. "
