Organisation of studies<\/h1>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

The Villa Arson curriculum is structured around two degrees: the first three years lead to a Dipl\u00f4me national d\u2019art (batchelor\u2019s degree); the two additional years of the second cycle lead to a Dipl\u00f4me national sup\u00e9rieur d\u2019expression plastique (master\u2019s). Carrying on to further postgraduate studies is possible via a practice-based PhD in arts developed alongside the Universit\u00e9 C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur.<\/p>\n\n

Our vision of teaching is based on three fundamental principles:<\/p>\n\n

1. Student autonomy<\/h3>\n\n

As an experimental institution, Villa Arson\u2019s approach is to avoid fragmenting its teaching by offering multiple options, and instead to offer a single curriculum that is as open as possible. Students can benefit from a diverse range of courses, studio sessions, research projects, workshops, lectures and masterclasses. Students have the chance to shape their own independent course of study and to pick their own leaning and specialisation. The result is doubly transversal: both on the horizontal level (between different fields), and the vertical level (between the three- or five-year study programs). <\/p>\n\n

2. An openness to the contemporary world <\/h3>\n\n

Simultaneously an \u00e9cole nationale sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019art, a hub of artistic production and distribution, and a center for international residencies, every year Villa Arson invites numerous visual artists, musicians, critics, graphic designers, curators, researchers, and heads of French and international institutions. Through its artistic programming and residencies, the school plays a central role in local, national and international cultural networks, constantly revising its scope to encourage interactions between students and players on the French and international artistic and intellectual scenes.<\/p>\n\n

3. Transversality and interdisciplinarity <\/h3>\n\n

The artistic practices of Villa Arson\u2019s teaching staff are recognized both in France and abroad. Our teachers are artists, filmmakers, video artists, musicians, writers, photographers, curators, scriptwriters, directors, and art theorists and critics. The continual feedback between teachers, professionals and guest lecturers feeds into a form of pedagogy that is as close as possible to real-world stakes and to the plurality of forms of expression.<\/p>\n
