What MJM Graphic Design does

MJM Graphic Design (legal name: École MJM Graphic Design) is a private French creative arts school founded in 1979 in Paris, operating 12 physical campuses — 10 across France (Paris, Bordeaux, Le Havre, Lille, Marseille, Nantes, Reims, Rennes, Strasbourg, Toulouse) plus international sites in Madrid and London — and a fully remote Campus 100% Visio delivered via live video conferencing. The school offers roughly 20 bachelor-level, master-level, and preparatory programs organized into five categories: Design (fashion, interior architecture, decoration, visual merchandising, events), Graphisme (graphic design, UI/UX, illustration, desktop publishing, artistic direction), Digital (photography, 3D, motion, video/VFX), Intelligence Créative (Creative IA Designer, AI Filmmaker), and International programs, with an attached high-school STD2A pathway. Teaching is delivered exclusively by active industry professionals using Adobe Creative Suite as the core technology stack, with AI generative tools (including Sora) integrated into AI-focused programs.

The school's revenue model rests on three streams: tuition fees for initial training programs (formation initiale, including Bachelors, Mastères, and Prépa) delivered across all campuses, B2B enterprise training under the 'Solutions entreprises' label, and reconversion programs for adults aged 26+ supported by CPF and Pôle Emploi financing. Tuition varies by campus and is not publicly consolidated; payments are accessible through alternance contracts, CPF, and government aid. Programs lead to RNCP Level 5 & 6 registered titles and CSFP certifications, and the institution holds Qualiopi certification, the regulatory prerequisite for accessing French government-funded professional training. The go-to-market is sales-led, combining physical open-house events (Journées Portes Ouvertes), personalized admissions interviews, social media presence (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn), and dedicated recruitment funnels for career changers and international students.

MJM is a member of CUMULUS, the global association of art and design schools spanning 60+ countries, and operates related educational brands including School Online, Campus en visio, Supcad, and Le Lycée Visio. The London campus is co-located at London South Bank University (LSBU), and the Madrid campus is linked with Universidad Camilo José Cela, enabling cross-campus mobility under the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). The institution remains independently and family-owned since founding, with no disclosed parent company, venture capital, or private equity backing.
