IESA

Arts, Design & Architecture

The IESA arts&culture (Institute of Higher Education in Arts and Culture) is a private higher education institution recognized by the Ministry of Culture and Communication. It trains students and professionals in the fields of art and culture.

All of the courses are taught by over 200 professional speakers to develop a perfect general culture, critical thinking, technical skills, and prepare future professionals for excellence and market developments.

Ideally located in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, the IESA arts&culture offers its students a unique space dedicated to training, research, production and dissemination of cultural events, exchanges, international openness and support for young startups.

Since its creation, the school has focused its pedagogy on the project mode in order to bring its students into a creative and concrete dynamic that allows them to integrate the professional world with real skills or to carry out their own projects. The professionalization path followed by students is just as important as the essential academic path.

The IESA arts&culture aims to train professionals who possess a good general culture, specialized knowledge, and acquired skills upon graduation.

During the 2nd year, you work on your personal project under the guidance of a coach. This can be a study to enhance heritage, the production of a tourism project, or the implementation of a cultural policy. At the end of the 1st semester, a practical case of 3 weeks is carried out.
