Founded in 1985 by Françoise and Jean-Marie Schmitt, the Institut d’Études Supérieures des Arts (IESA) is a private educational group based in Paris, France. It has been officially recognized by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication since 1998.
The programs in all three departments of our international art school combine academic knowledge with practical skills, in the form of internships and projects. Professors, curators, professionals and consultants all participate in this two-pronged pedagogical approach, designed to train students for the professional world.
The transition to working life is facilitated by the internship office and the teaching staff, who provide students with individual guidance throughout the job-finding process. In addition, each student is paired with a mentor who helps with important professional decisions.
As IESA does not have a hall of residence, students generally live in various parts of the city, in Independent Rooms or with French families or landlords or in a student residence. The school does however offer assistance by providing information and referring students to services, associations and websites.

My academic journey in design has been transformative. After earning a first-level diploma in Communication Design at IAAD in Turin, I enrolled in the two-year Master’s program in Communication and Digital Product Design at ISIA Florence. This program has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of design, blending critical thinking with advanced technical skills. It has helped me build on my foundation, expanding my knowledge and equipping me to approach complex projects with confidence and creativity. This experience continues to inspire my growth as a designer.
The Groupe IISGA, established in 2015, offers professional training programs accredited by the state. It evolved from the merger of two institutions, providing quality diplomas in fields like IT and business. They offer various courses including two-year diploma programs (Technician, Specialized Technician), short specialized practical training (4-9 months), and higher education (Bachelor and Master). Their mission is to prepare students with skills tailored to the evolving job market, guided by values such as cooperation, innovation, and respect.
It was quite satisfying because I learnt how to deal with customers. Also a lot of communication skills and how to make my own company from the beginning. I don't think this has anything to improve, to be honest. So this is why I really recommend studying this vocational traning.
