ANY QUESTIONS?

It is preferable to prove that you have completed baccalaureate-level qualifications to join the art or animation foundation courses or the first year the degree course, but an exemption system exists, which is generally extended to all art schools since candidates’ profiles are of greater importance than their knowledge, and this is also the case at Atelier de Sèvres.
Atelier de Sèvres is accessible to candidates who have studied all types of baccalaureate, including professional baccalaureate qualifications.

Atelier de Sèvres is not on the Parcoursup platform. Applicants must therefore apply to the school's admissions service directly. The admissions officer prefers to meet candidates for one-on-one interviews in order to get to know them better and support them in their course choice. At the end of the interview, candidates will be immediately informed of their ability to join Atelier de Sèvres’ programmes. It is therefore necessary to prepare for the forthcoming school year and apply now as the number of places is limited and those who register first will be guaranteed a place at the school!

Request an interview

To join the graduate courses in art and animation, candidates are required to take admissions tests.

The admissions interview is not an exam but a first-hand exchange during which the candidate expresses their motivation and interest in art or animation. The admissions officer assesses the candidate’s general and artistic knowledge, open-mindedness, level and commitment. By joining Atelier de Sèvres, students embark on an enriching but challenging journey.

Request an interview

The portfolio should contain recent personal work: sketchbooks, drawings, photos, models, engravings, videos—there is no set content required. Portfolios must, above all, reflect the candidate’s current level, skills and creativity.
It is not necessary to be able to draw well to join Atelier de Sèvres. Drawing is a discipline in its own right that will be taught or developed during your training.

Admission to the foundation courses at Atelier de Sèvres is through one-to-one interviews. The criteria are, above all, motivation, a desire to learn, artistic sensitivity and the practice of manual or creative activities.

Although the candidate’s level of drawing is not a selection criterion, the admissions officer is interested in seeing their work in order to get to know them better, see their desire to express themselves artistically and detect their potential. Drawing is not the only artistic field that can be presented: photographs, collages, sculptures, paintings, and sketchbooks are also of interest.

Everything you need to know about entry requirements

Entrance to the bachelor of art and technology course is through a competitive examination. The entrance examination takes place in two sessions (June and September) and allows the candidates with an aptitude for creativity, a real interest in teamwork, and a predisposition for making and designing to be selected.

1. The first selection stage consists of an online test based on logic, knowledge and simulation exercises. Candidates also demonstrate their motivation and personality through the production of a one-minute film recorded on a smartphone. The platform is open from 2nd March to 30th April 2020 (first session) and from 2nd May to 14th August 2020 (second session).

2. The second stage takes place over one day between 18th May and 5th June 2020 (first session) and 4th September 2020 (second session). A group logic test and a one-to-one interview allow for the final selection to be made.

Admission to the animation degree course is by competitive examination. The examination for entrance into the first and second years takes place in two stages, thus making it possible for candidates to join the course according to their level.

1. The first step (6th April 2020) is the submission of a portfolio in A3 format. This must highlight the candidate's capacities to develop their individual universe, styles and various genres. It can contain sketches, illustrations, storyboards, character design, sets, staging, collages, paintings, animations, etc. It should demonstrate creativity and drawing skills.

The first selection is made.

2. The second stage (4th to 7th May 2020) is a four-hour written test, based on the candidate's creativity, writing skills and imagination. If educational establishments continue to be closed beyond 1st May, the written tests will take place online and the oral exams will be held via Skype.

There is no deadline to request an admissions interview for the foundation course at Atelier de Sèvres but we recommend not waiting too long as once class numbers are reached, registration is closed. As Atelier de Sèvres favours year groups on a human scale, places available for the start of the school year are limited. We therefore encourage candidates to request an admissions interview early in the year (ideally between November/December and February), in order to have the best chance of securing a place at the start of the next school year.
