 Program description
Esadse is a public art and design school located in Saint-Etienne, the only Unesco Creative City of Design in France. It has unique resources in France, notably thanks
to its links with the Cité du design and the Saint-Etienne International Design Biennial.
The International Preparatory Class is a class designed for French and international candidates who wish to take the competitive exams of French art and design
schools (1st year) or for entry during the course of their studies (depending on their level through the equivalence system).

To give international and French students a unique artistic experience, to decompartmentalise teaching and to encourage inclusion - this is the mission of the
international preparatory class. Here, you will be included in the pedagogy and life of the school!
The working language is French, the group is made up of half French and half foreign students, encouraging peer learning and collaboration.

To help you prepare for the competitive entrance exams (or the equivalent entrance juries), the programme offers:

- to help you build your portfolio for the competitions and juries
- to discover French culture and the French approach to art and design with the programme's teachers, during conferences and meetings with artists and designers, and
through visits to exhibitions and cultural venues offered by Esadse
- to learn about art and design education in France through the project
- to study in collaboration with French students and to participate in critical artistic and intercultural exchange sessions
- to prepare for interviews in French thanks to the courses offered by Esadse
