SUMMARY OF MISSION STATEMENT The ECV - Ecole de Communication Visuelle is a group of four French schools located in Paris, Bordeaux, Aix-en-Provence and Nantes. The sites offer the same education in the fields of visual communication, graphic design, and digital animation at the master level. Our diploma “Concepteur en communication visuelle” is registered in the CNCP directory, high level of government recognition. The school trains students to take a global perspective of visual communication, from the critical analysis of a given communication problem to its concrete realization. This approach drives students to reflect and think creatively before execution, developing a responsible creative attitude and offering the future professional greater autonomy and freedom within the workplace. The ECV provides an interdisciplinary, multimedia approach to the study of visual communication, and educates students in the traditional arts through a strong core curriculum. The school builds a creative environment that is both supportive and challenging, helping students to shape a complex world of cultural diversity and changing technologies. This education provides students with the intellectual and practical abilities necessary to attain creative and aesthetic excellence and achieve rewarding careers as professional graphic designers. Since 1984, ECV has developed its network nationally by building a renowned institution name among professionals in design, advertising and multimedia agencies. From the second year students participate to internships in graphic design agencies, helping them to find easily a job at the end of their education, more than 80% of students find are employed the year following their graduation. In 2001, a survey carried out by the “Institut Louis Harris” among 100 French graphic design agencies, shows that ECV education matches perfectly the needs of the workplace. ECV values have been put together in the slogan “Des concepteurs ouverts sur le monde”. Our institution is committed to a broad range of international activities, including the welcoming of international students, the facilitation of student and teacher exchanges, and the development for more than 20 years of Workshops with foreigners teachers. The international experience is a significant component of student education. In addition, the school aims to foster a sense of ethical responsibility in the practice of communication and the arts, enabling students to fully realize their potential as individuals and members of society. The group wishes to share its experience and knowledge on the European platform with Cumulus universities in the fields that make the institution so famous in France: the visual communication and graphic design. Today we want to increase our role in Europe and make it our priority for the next years, enhancing the quality of the education through cooperation, student and teacher exchange. ECV is determined to actively participate developing in the future its experience and objectives shared with Cumulus. |
