Bachelor in Graphic Design
labellisé European Bachelor

/ LYON / PARIS / NANCY / NICE / BORDEAUX

The Bachelor in Visual Communication with specialisation in graphic design, publishing and advertising is a French State diploma over two years that teaches students to develop the visual form of messages in the various fields of graphic design (visual identity, graphic design, signage, packaging ...), publishing (books, magazines, brochures, multimedia ...) and advertising (posters, ad-press, spots ...).

Unlike many schools that select only the best students at the end of the two years of study, the Écoles de Condé schools have all their students sit the CT examinations. The excellent pass rates on examinations, on average above 90% over the past five years, and the great professional integration of our students, demonstrate the excellence of our teaching methods and the level of attention given to our students.

By equivalence, at the end of their two years of study, students will receive a Bachelor of Science in Design with specialisation in Visual Communication delivered by the European Accreditation Board of Higher Education Schools.

/ Marie Gloaguen, 2006 Graduate

“During my CT degree, I sat the entrance examination to get onto the post-graduate Graphic Design course at the Gobelins School. Myself and 3 of my classmates passed: we weren’t fazed! After completing that degree, I went freelance despite not having any contacts in the field. It took me 8 months to settle down, going from brief to brief, always with the same motto: CULTURE! Today, everything is going well! I work at the national museum J.J. Henner for renowned sports and music festivals and I am also launching my own 360° communications agency with 2 people I met along the way. Life is good!”

/ Cécile Guédy, 2004 Graduate

“I did a Foundation year in Applied Arts, Year 1 and Year 2 of a Visual Communication degree and graduated from Condé Paris in 2004. The 3 years I spent in this school where incredibly fulfilling. The teaching is strict and many demands are put on you. This requires great motivation and a desire to excel. Your creativity there develops individually and you are not formatted according to trends. We are taught to go beyond the first idea, which is a mechanism that ultimately comes with great practise. The bar is high, but the professional world knows the level required by Condé. After three years of study in this school, I was more prepared than the average person to integrate the world of work. I worked as Artistic Director for two advertising agencies, first BDDP & Son, then Julius & Caesar. There, after only one year, I was at the head of a team of three people, and my training at Condé was much appreciated. It had taught me to manage concrete professional problems and to develop the necessary creativity. I also kept in touch with students from my year, who also found work very quickly. If I had to, I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same thing all over again! "
