80% of ARC graduates start a career in the Game and Creative industries.
We are proud to say that a large percentage of our graduates now work in the dynamic and competitive Creative industry.
Our main goal is to prepare students as thoroughly as possible, so they can successfully start their careers in the field. That’s why our training is entirely practical and includes teamwork between students from all disciplines. Programs in Game Design, Concept Art and 3D Art are taught by professionals with extensive experience, who will equip you with both the technical and creative skills (hard skills) needed for success, as well as the soft skills necessary to adapt and grow professionally.

Thousands of students have gone through the ARC Academy experience. Here are a few of their stories:
Concept Artist, Haemimont Games
“Our tutors were professionals with experience in the field and they introduced me to the expectations and realities of the industry. I was kind of armed with the knowledge to figure out how to prepare and what to put in my portfolio, which ultimately helped me land a job.”
2D Concept Designer, Evolution Engineering Bulgaria
“I started working even before I graduated from the Academy, but the professionalism of the lecturers, the advice and knowledge they gave me during the training unlocked in me the desire to develop, learn and improve every day. With this attitude comes self-confidence and confidence in what you do and you show it when you apply for a job position. Everything else is a matter of a lot of work and a little luck.”
Studio managers and directors from some of the biggest game studios in Bulgaria are instructors and mentors in our two-year programs. See what they have to say about ARC Academy students:
Art Director, Snapshot Games
“The situations which we put the students in, especially in the development of their projects, are exactly the situations that they will find in their work in the studios.”
Studio Director, Creative Assembly Sofia
“The students at ARC, for the most part, are absolutely ready to start working in the studios.”
Studio Manager, Gameloft Sofia
“From the people I watched during the presentation, from the people I know who worked on the teams, most are definitely ready to work in Game industry.”
ARC Academy students complete their studies with a practical project, developing a video game as a team. Each participant contributes with their acquired skills, taking on a role that aligns with their career goals—ranging from designers to 2D and 3D artists. Under the guidance of mentors, they create their first game by following the real workflow of an indie studio. This approach not only enhances their technical and creative abilities but also prepares them for the dynamics of the professional environment.
