IESA arts&culture offers French and international students holding a completed 4-year degree the chance to train in one year, in English, for careers in the luxury goods and contemporary art markets as well as heritage promotion and tourism, thanks to three new programs.

Since the creation of its Masters of Arts, IESA art et culture has been developing English-language programs with high academic standards that enable students to enter professional life in art market and culture careers.

In October, three new programs will launch. All three last one year and are in Paris with study trips to two other French cities. The first will extend IESA’s expertise in the history of taste and the appraisal of artworks and objects to the field of luxury and decorative crafts. The second will offer teaching devoted to the marketing and distribution of contemporary artworks. The last will specialize in promoting sites and heritage through cultural actions and tourism.

For each of these programs, IESA will recruit students who have already completed 4 years of higher education in France or abroad. Each program will welcome between ten and twenty students from different countries to enable exchanges and innovation in the approach to these three sectors. Some courses and full-scale projects will be shared, crossing the three specializations to offer complementary perspectives to all students, who will mostly work collaboratively.

These new programs reflect IESA’s wish to offer students from very different countries and cultures the chance to work together and jointly build a shared professional culture and network so as to enter more easily into an economic sector undergoing profound change.

To learn all about these new programs and the careers they lead to, IESA is holding a special English-language programs Open Day on May 17, 2014, where all 6 of these programs will be featured.
