Bachelor in Diplôme National d'Art

Tuition is 208 USD per year.

The Diplôme National d'Art is a qualification in the fine arts, focused on the practice, theory, and history of visual art making. At the Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy, located in Cergy, this kind of program typically combines studio practice with coursework in art history, art theory, and critical writing about contemporary art. Students in fine arts programs generally spend significant time developing their own artistic practice under studio supervision, working across media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, video, or installation, while also studying the history of art movements and engaging with contemporary artistic and curatorial debates. Critiques, group discussions, and portfolio development are common components of art school training, since the discipline places emphasis on both technical skill and the ability to articulate the ideas behind one's work. Graduates of fine arts programs often go on to work as practicing artists, or pursue careers in areas connected to the art world such as curating, arts administration, art education, gallery work, or further specialized study in fine arts or related creative fields. Some continue toward graduate-level art programs to deepen a particular medium or theoretical focus. This program at the Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy is a bachelor's-level qualification lasting three years, with an intake in September and instruction in French. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Admission involves selection tests, so applicants to art schools of this kind should expect the process to include an assessment of their artistic work or aptitude alongside any academic requirements.
