WHY CHOOSE BRASSART, THE SCHOOL OF CREATIVE PROFESSIONS?

BRASSART’s graphic design school is open to candidates from all academic backgrounds. Every year, BRASSART welcomes and selects students from a wide range of pathways: general and technological tracks, as well as vocational programs.

More than the specific diploma, BRASSART places great importance on your professional goals and your motivation to join a creative school 

There is no requirement to know how to draw in order to enter BRASSART. The foundation year in applied arts provides all the essential drawing basics. However, students must be willing to learn and motivated, as drawing is part of many creative pathways.

For programs in audiovisual production or Game Design / Video Games, no drawing level is required.

It is not necessary. The programs in Eco-Design Infographics, Art Direction, 3D Animation & Immersive Arts, and Graphic Arts & Illustration all include a built-in foundation year in applied arts. This preparatory year allows students to acquire or refresh all the essential fundamentals needed to pursue the rest of their program.

BRASSART’s teaching approach, developed over 75 years, naturally evolves with new technologies and industry needs. Thanks to our expertise and adaptability, a national curriculum has been implemented across all our graphic design and creative schools.

We are committed to ensuring the same high level of training quality on every campus, while also allowing each location to reflect its local professional ecosystem through workshops, creative challenges, and industry collaborations.

The foundation programs in applied arts and audiovisual studies at BRASSART have a dual purpose: providing essential academic grounding and introducing students to new creative fields.

• Skill-building: These preparatory courses help students acquire the fundamental knowledge required to begin their BRASSART program with confidence.
• Discovering digital creative careers: The foundation year is also an excellent opportunity to explore different areas of digital creation through discovery modules, allowing students to refine their professional orientation.

The foundation year—whether in applied arts or audiovisual studies—is not mandatory to join BRASSART. During the application process, your skill level will be assessed. If it meets the requirements, you may directly enter the second year of one of our creative programs.

BRASSART provides access to the Adobe Creative Suite, which includes the main graphic design software: Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and more.

For the foundation year in applied arts, the school partners with a national brand to offer students a complete artistic toolkit at a preferential price, including markers, charcoal, acrylics, sketchbooks, and other essential materials.

BRASSART’s approach differs from traditional art schools through its strong focus on hands-on learning and professional development. Alongside essential theoretical foundations, BRASSART places great importance on offering students meaningful practical opportunities. This includes themed workshops, seminars, case studies with companies or agencies, as well as internships or apprenticeship programs.

Professionalization is at the core of our identity. Over the years, this approach has allowed us to build a strong network of trusted industry partners—partners who not only rely on BRASSART, but also on our students. Today, BRASSART is proud of a community of more than 10,000 graduates in France and abroad, working in many renowned agencies and studios.

The final year of BRASSART’s Art Direction program is entirely offered as an apprenticeship: 3 to 4 weeks in a company followed by 1 week at school. This structure allows students to apply their theoretical learning directly in a professional environment.

The duration of internships varies depending on the program and the year of study. They generally last between 2 and 6 months, allowing students to gain meaningful professional experience within a company.
