IESA arts&culture’s 1- or 2-year Bachelors are intended for students with a validated Bac+1 or Bac+2 through lateral admissions.
You can enter directly into the 2nd or 3rd year of the program at IESA arts&culture depending on your background.
At a minimum, you will need to be able to provide proof that you have already earned the equivalent number of credits in another higher education program (60 ECTS to enter the 2nd year, 120 ECTS corresponding to two consecutive years in the same program for the 3rd year).
Lateral admission criteria for Bachelors
Your admission will then depend on a motivation interview and on the knowledge and skills you have already acquired in your previous training. For example, a student who has completed a first year of a bachelor’s degree in art history will have no difficulty entering the Bachelor directly in the 2nd year.
Likewise, a student who has completed two years of law or business studies and has a good general knowledge of the cultural sector may apply to enter directly in the 3rd year of the corresponding IESA art&culture Bachelor.

Does this change anything in the program’s content?
The program content is designed so that you can acquire the same skills and knowledge as students who would have completed all three years:
- If you enter directly in the 2nd year, in addition to your 2nd-year classes you will take the essential 1st-year courses while keeping the alternating classes/internship rhythm that makes our programs distinctive.
- If you enter directly in the 3rd year, you will take the 2nd- and 3rd-year courses in one year. It is therefore a dense program, but it allows you to be in a half-time internship for at least one quarter and then during the summer period.
What you learned in your previous training and your career path will also help you validate the program.
