Who is the esma for?

Join the big league of the creative industries

Are you right for ESMA?

Do you have a baccalauréat? Are you deeply passionate about art and all forms of creation? Do you aspire to continually surpass yourself and find it hard to quench your thirst for learning? Do you secretly dream that one day your work will have an impact on the world?

Then welcome to ESMA, you’ve come to the right place.


How can you join us?

The only condition? Your motivation

  • How can I join ESMA?

    We welcome all baccalaureate holders. Your motivation and interest in art are the only prerequisites for admission to ESMA, if you are enrolling for a preparatory year to bring you up to standard. On the other hand, direct access to training requires a level of training already acquired post BAC, a mastery of drawing or of the field in which the student wishes to continue his or her training.

  • How can I join ESMA?

    It couldn’t be simpler! All you have to do is submit your application directly on our website. Please note that ESMA is not accessible via Parcoursup!
