MBA in Artistic & Cultural Activities Management Pedagogy

Our program sharply contrasts with other academic institutions with its highly motivated will to combine a constructive and practical nature of teaching with history and theory, rooted in a multi-cultural and dynamic core which offers multiple clusters of cultural products including multimedia, movies, music, design and style, offering students an experience which can only be found in Paris.

Our motto is hands-on, giving our students the opportunity to acquire knowledge through experience. Learning from life and reality is the marker and criterion of our teaching process. The challenge is to interconnect methodology with fact and fieldwork, theory with practice, art history with creation and production.

All of our professors are professionals and major players on the global artistic and cultural scene, particularly in Paris. They are popular and well known art critics, curators, historians, etc. Our creative faculty, are one of the key components of the program.

The curriculum is based on two trimesters of intensive foundations, concluding with a final semester in which students choose a specialization. There are eight interdisciplinary modules at the specialization phase, all of which are professional tracks. Each track aims to stress the specific interconnections between artists, sponsors, dealers, collectors, private galleries, public museums, institutions, auction houses, art schools, critics and journalists.

Beyond The Degree

Workshops, lectures, study cases, visits to galleries, museums, studios, combined with meetings with artists and professionals make the program complete, allowing students to have discussions and vivid debates about their own practices while gaining experience.
