5 Overseas student handbook Page 5 1. École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs The École nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (EnsAD), founded in 1766, is a public higher education institution under the authority of the Ministry of Culture and Communication. The school fosters intellectual, creative and artistic excellence, inspired by the principles of multidisciplinarity, partnership and innovation, under the direction of Geneviève Gallot, General Inspector of Artistic Creation and Education. In common with its peers in the English-speaking world, EnsAD offers its students ten departments of specialisation: Interior Design, Animation, Spatial Art, Multimedia / Graphic Design, Product Design, Textile and Texture Design, Fashion Design, Printed Images, Photo/ Video, Stage Design. The five-year course complies with European harmonisation of degree courses (LMD) requirements. Admission is by competitive entrance examination only, in the 1st, 2nd and 4th years. The school awards a diploma with Master s status, with a specialisation in one of the ten sectors on offer. The first year is a foundation year common to all students, introducing the fundamental concepts of space, object and image history of art, drawing, painting, sculpture, silkscreen printing, engraving, perspective, volume, colour, typography as well as photography, video, sound, animation and IT. The 2nd year is the first year of specialisation, which is pursued in the 3rd year. The 4th year marks the beginning of the project phase of the course, accompanied by a mandatory professional internship in France or abroad, possibly by a study programme at an overseas school or university, and by the production of a dissertation. The 5th year is dedicated to the Senior Project, the final stage leading to the award of the diploma. The School is actively engaged in numerous partnerships with companies (Badoit, Ikea, Cacharel, IFF, Tarkett, etc.), with professional organisations (VIA), prestigious schools such as Sciences-Po, the Centre de Formation des Journalistes, the Conservatoire national supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, the Ecole des Mines, and with cultural institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the musée du Quai Branly. In addition, EnsAD has extensive international links with leading schools of art and design and with numerous universities. Located in the heart of Paris on the Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, the School provides its students with 18 technical studios in which to put their academic theory into practice and learn to appreciate the constraints of project execution as they bring their ideas to life. The school also offers a research, creation and innovation programme (EnsadLab), designed as a research laboratory focusing on two areas: theoretical reflection in sociological, anthropological and artistic terms, and a design/execution component. This programme is open to EnsAD graduates and external candidates holding a Master s degree or equivalent. Plus: regular Encounter Studio Thursday meetings for a friendly get-together and sharing of ideas. Guest speakers, all leading figures in the cultural domain, share their experiences. A wide variety of guests have attended in the past: Pierre Etaix, Toni Negri, Jean-Claude Carrière, François Cheval, Nicolas Frize, Paul Ardenne, Yann Kersalé, Konstantin Grcic, etc.

7 Overseas student handbook Page 7 Since EnsAD does not award a University diploma, overseas students attending courses are not eligible for the EnsAD diploma.

The Director and the Director of Studies set the teaching guidelines following discussions with the college of coordinators, consultation with the Studies and Research Council and approval by the school s Board of Administration. The aim of the course is to prepare students for the creative professions, provide opportunities for real academic progress open to the issues of modern society, and enable each student to make his or her mark as a creative designer in a perpetually changing professional world. EnsAD has constructed its curriculum to offer a perfect symbiosis between the specialist department subjects and the crosscutting subjects.

Assessment methods and ECTS validation EnsAD offers its students a course structured according to the ECTS system. Subjects are organised into teaching units, to which a given number of credits is assigned. The academic unit is the semester. A semester carries 30 credits. An academic year consists of two semesters and thus carries 60 credits. The average mark obtained by the student for each course unit determines the credits obtained. Credits are assigned to the various components or teaching unit. The number of credits reflects the student s overall work classroom hours and volume of personal work. Students aptitudes and knowledge are checked by means of continuous assessment of written, oral and practical work. 4. First day of term and enrolment The first day of term will be the first Monday in October of the academic year. Student reception will be followed by visits to the technical studios, IT department and library. Classes begin on the first Tuesday in October.
