Since their creation in 1989, the main ambition of the Ecoles de Conde is to provide motivated students with the necessary training that will enable them to follow careers in Design and Graphic Arts (D & GA) and Arts and Crafts (MA).

Present in Paris, Lyon, Nancy, Nice and Bordeaux, the Ecoles de Conde are the only Art schools in France that offer higher education training in the different areas of Applied Arts (graphic design/visual communication, spatial design/interior design, fashion design, product design), illustration, professional photography, restoration of cultural heritage or expertise and trade of works of Art and art objects.

This wide range of possibilities is a trademark of the Ecoles de Conde which provides a solid foundation and common educational principles such as listening to students, continuous guidance and exposure to an international and professional environment.

Despite being a private institution, the recognition of our training by public institutions has always been our priority. This is why, since their creation, the Ecoles de Conde have chosen to prepare students to French State examinations (delivered by the Ministry of Education and Research) as well high-level State-certified diplomas. By equivalence, and depending on the level of the degree taken, students will receive a European Bachelor’s or European Master’s degree delivered by the European Accreditation Board of Higher Education Schools. This facilitates access to further studies or to the professional world abroad.

Thus, our excellent results in State examinations, our success rates in entry examinations and the facility with which our students integrate the professional world are the guarantors of the quality of our training and of the recognition that the Écoles de Condé receive from public and private institutions in France and abroad.
