ESRA International Film School is part of the ESRA Group, the most important Film school in France. The program takes place in a 1,200 student campus in the heart of Paris, the 15 arrondissements, close to the Eiffel Tower and major cultural sites.

Many international students will require a visa to study in France, and this is a vital step of your study abroad journey. Make sure you understand the requirements you may need to meet before applying.

ESRA’s reputation as one of Europe’s leading film schools means that students travel from far and wide to study here. Therefore, the School is home to a diverse and international student body.

Since English is the world’s second most widely-spoken language, the school runs several English-taught programs to meet the educational needs of its international students. This means that all students can develop a solid understanding of filmmaking, even if they don’t speak French, German, or Dutch.

Although housing isn’t offered on-campus, each school has a dedicated office to help international students find appropriate accommodation.
