Toulon Provence Méditerranée School of Art and Design
With authorisation from its Board of Directors in July 2014, the École Supérieure d’Art became the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design Toulon Provence Méditerranée (ESADTPM) thus accentuating the two axes of higher artistic education provided by the establishment. Founded in the 19th century, the school today is an academic institution authorised to deliver national high-level education diplomas, and reflects the evolutions in the teaching of art in France.
The current school is the result of active reflection of its academic staff in order to adapt its courses to respect the reform of higher artistic education led by its academic tutelage, the Ministry of Culture and Communication. The school proposes two curricula, one in Design and the other in Art. The Design option leads to a diploma after three years of study, the Diplôme National d’Art (DNA). The Art option implies following two consecutive cycles of study and leads first to a Baccalaureate+3 level diploma, the Diplôme National d’Art (DNA), and then after two more years to the Baccalaureate+5 level diploma, the Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique (DNSEP).
