Pre-recruitment consultation for master studies
Our recruitment process is based on a presentation and the qualifying interview.

From practice to theory
This path is based on the assumption that an artistic project, related to the artistic practice of the candidate, is
the subject of research conducted from the point of view of a reflective practitioner (artist examining his own
creative process). An artistic project leads to theoretical research.
