IESA arts&culture (PÔLE FORMATION)

Activity area: Higher education institution , Continuing Training, Initial Training

For 40 years, IESA arts&culture has been training professionals from bachelor’s to master’s level in five major fields of art and culture:

Art Market

Film & Audiovisual

Music

Performing Arts

Heritage & Cultural Institutions

In addition to work-study programs and internships, IESA’s teaching approach is deeply rooted in the realities of the industry. With over 300 cultural professionals as guest lecturers, visits to partner cultural venues, networking opportunities, and above all, its “learning by doing” pedagogy, students carry out concrete projects from start to finish (exhibitions, festivals, ceremonies, auctions…), allowing them to gain hands-on experience and become immediately operational.

These experiences, combined with work-study programs and internships, make IESA a true gateway to the cultural sector, equipping its graduates with a deep understanding of the industry and the ability to be immediately effective in their roles.

With its exhibitions, concerts, and festivals, IESA is also a cultural venue in itself. Its 25% international student body makes it a globally open space. Every year, exchange programs with partner universities and study trips help develop a global perspective on artistic and cultural issues and markets.
