What programs are available at ESADHaR?

ESADHaR offers two types of degrees:

DNA (Diplôme National d’Art): a 3-year undergraduate degree after high school, with several specializations such as graphic design, digital media, and more.
DNSEP (Diplôme National Supérieur d’Expression Plastique): a 2-year graduate degree after the DNA, equivalent to a master’s, to help you specialize and prepare your artistic career.

How to apply to ESADHaR?

If you want to enter the first year, you must apply through Parcoursup. You’ll need to prepare a portfolio and pass the school’s entrance exam. To apply for the DNSEP, you need to have completed a DNA (or equivalent) and present a solid artistic project. You’ll attend an interview where you explain your approach and your project – so be ready to defend your vision!
