about
The École des Arts Déco
Founded in 1766, the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (EnsAD) is an institution of higher education under the authority of the French Ministry for Culture and Communication. It offers a wealth of intellectual, creative, and artistic opportunities in a multidisciplinary context of partnership and innovation. With an enrolment of 720 students, French and foreign, the school offers a five-year degree program with a specialization in one of ten departments. The EnsAD degree is recognized as a master’s level qualification. In addition, EnsadLab, the School’s research laboratory, offers several doctoral-level research programs in the arts and in design.
The École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs is a member of “Paris Sciences et Lettres” (PSL Research University). As such, and in close collaboration with the École Normale Supérieure, the School is developing the new SACRe doctoral program (Sciences, Arts, Creation, Research), the goal of which is to bring together artists, designers, and scientists.
The School’s commitment to innovation was strengthened in 2012 with the creation – in partnership with the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation – of the “Innovation & Expertise” program, the goal of which is to develop innovation and research in art and design as well as multidisciplinary approaches.
EnSAD is also a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles.
