With a large number of museums, theaters, cinemas, historic monuments, and events of every kind, the cultural sector is in perpetual motion.
The Ever-Evolving Cultural Sector
With more than 1,200 museums, 2,000 art galleries, and countless monuments and cultural sites, France is among the richest countries in culture and heritage. To ensure the smooth running of these institutions and other cultural organizations, culture careers are now increasingly varied. This diversity is further encouraged by the digital revolution, which also affects the cultural sector. Careers such as web culture project manager, digital communications manager, or specialized community manager are proof of this.
Cultural sector programs
To train for the cultural field, after the Baccalaureate or after a 1-, 2-, or 3-year postsecondary degree, IESA arts&culture offers several cultural programs. From film and audiovisual to performing arts and music, as well as visual arts, heritage, and cultural tourism, the cultural programs taught at the cultural school are numerous. This school allows students to specialize in the fields of cultural production, cultural mediation, heritage promotion and cultural tourism, as well as cultural management, cultural communication, and web marketing.
Through the 3-year postsecondary culture program offered by the institution, learners acquire skills in designing and setting up a cultural project, promoting and communicating the project, or budget management and legal and regulatory administration.
With the 5-year postsecondary culture degrees, they can strengthen what they have learned by studying the design of artistic and cultural projects or the implementation of mediation and communication actions.
Opening up to cultural careers
To facilitate students' access to cultural professions, IESA arts&culture works with various companies and institutions that act as educational partners. These partnerships perfectly reflect the teaching approach of the cultural school, based on acquiring theoretical knowledge and professional skills through full-time or part-time internships throughout the year.
It has a professional development service responsible for connecting its students with the professional sector. After an internship offer is issued by a partner company, the service identifies students suited to the proposed assignments. In addition, the school supports second- and third-year Bachelor students or first- and second-year Master’s students under a professionalization contract within partner companies.
