The Ecole supérieure d’art et de design d’Orléans (ESAD Orléans) is a public institution of higher artistic education, under the educational supervision of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation. 

ESAD Orléans trains around 330 students, from preparatory classes to post-graduate studies. It awards a Diplôme National d’Art (bachelor’s degree), design option, with two specializations (Object and Space Design, Visual and Graphic Design); a Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique (master’s degree), design option, with two specializations (Common Design, Media Design); a Diplôme Supérieur de Recherche en Design; specialized post-masters (Internet of Things; Film, Video and Animation); a research post-graduate diploma. ESAD Orléans works with several universities to support doctoral students. It also offers a double degree in architecture and design with ENSAPVS.

ESAD Orléans’ artistic and scientific project focuses on the challenges of the digital environment, at the intersection of technological, industrial, ecological and political issues. The school’s training policy is based on the gradual integration of teaching and research in the three cycles offered by the school, and on the introduction of a strong artistic dimension to design. Its research unit, ECOLAB, focuses on relations between human and non-human beings.

ESAD Orléans sees its teaching and research as part of its response to the challenges facing our society. With a network of over 45 partner schools, ESAD Orléans actively participates in European and international networks and projects for the benefit of students and staff alike.
