The student starts his real creative process in the second year. He chooses from the start of the school year the specialization in which he will evolve. Three areas are thus open to him: illustration and comics, painting or new media.
If many courses will be followed in the common core, and form the necessary base for any artist regardless of his orientation, the specializations come to reinforce targeted areas. The learner also develops transversal skills that will be essential throughout his career: autonomy of work, management of deadlines, calculation of possibilities according to the objective sought.
The year of graduation is a key stage at two levels: firstly, it leads the student to produce a coherent work within a successful conceptual framework, a real passport for the professional world; secondly, it marks the culmination of the end of a course which attests to one's skills and leads to a diploma.
The EPAC diploma is awarded to students after 4 years of study.

The first school for comic strips and game art/dev in Switzerland Since its foundation, more than twenty years ago, EPAC has ceaselessly explored new paths in tune with both national and international development of comics, illustration and new media. As such, it was the first Swiss school to offer students a Comics creation course, as well as a Game Art training program. Nowadays, EPAC also offers courses in interactive design and frequently organizes masterclasses and workshops. Many personalities from such industries as comics, script-writing, illustration and animation have visited or attended the EPAC during those two decades. Media is an ever-evolving field. Therefore, so are our teaching processes. Located in the heart of the Valaisan Alps, in the municipality of Saxon, EPAC benefits from an attractive environment, while remaining close to such urban communities as Martigny and Sion - and less than one-hour drive from Lausanne. On school premises, students can enjoy more than 600 m2 dedicated to narrative arts. The training courses consist of a mix of practical and theoretical teachings, as well as workshops given by prominent comics artists, illustrators, screenwriters, game artists or interactive designers.
There is absolutely no PSW but the Universities and institutions does encourage and provide opportunities for the students can go for internships
