European Academy of Art in Brittany


The European Academy of Art in Brittany (French École européenne supérieure d'art de Bretagne - EESAB) is a French art school founded on December 27th, 2010. The establishment is composed of four formerly separate institutions (the earliest founded in 1795), located in the following cities: Brest, Lorient, Quimper and Rennes. EESAB is the largest art school in France and currently has over 900 students at the bachelors (DNAP) and masters (DNSEP) levels. The student body accounts for one-tenth of all arts school students in France.

EESAB is a higher education institution that reports to the Ministry of Culture and Communication. It is a member of the European University of Brittany accredited to award national diplomas after three years of undergraduate study as well as after five years of undergraduate + graduate study. Courses are delivered in art, communication and design. They are harmonised with the European degree structure using the ECTS system (European Credits Transfer System), facilitating student mobility within Europe.

EESAB offers the following degree options:

The four EESAB campuses are located in Brest, Lorient, Quimper and Rennes.

New students may enrol as freshman, transfer students, or Master's degree students at EESAB following competitive entrance exams held in the Spring of each year. Prospective students interested in applying from abroad can consult the Campusart website for more information.

The first year features preparatory study for in-depth education in each students' chosen degree field.

This year comprises a common core of theoretical and practical foundational teaching, enabling students to acquire the necessary resources to access all creative fields, along with courses focused on broad basic cultural knowledge. Areas of instruction include painting, 3D art/installation, photography, printmaking, drawing/narrative, and video, communications design, object design, and spatial design.

The teaching staff are artists/designers, writers, and art and design theorists and 'historians'.

In addition to its teaching programme, the school regularly invites artists and designers for intensive workshop sessions lasting 3-5 days. These are designed to help students devise and perfect their practice. Workshops may be one-off or take place over a period of several months. They offer an opportunity for students to interact with contributors, diversify, and compare and contrast artistic practices.

Workshops are regularly supplemented by lectures organised at the school.

Study trips for students are organised on a regular basis, both within France (Frac Bretagne, Centre Pompidou-Metz, Paris, etc.) and abroad (Milan international furniture fair, Venice Art Bienniale, Kassel dOCUMENTA, etc.).
