Application requirements
In order to apply, candidates in the process of studying must have obtained the baccalaureate or an equivalent diploma as well as the validation of two years of higher education, whatever the field, i.e. 120 ECTS minimum.
Candidates must have validated two years of higher education, at the date of their registration for the exams. These two years may have been validated in the same program or in two different programs.
Exceptional case :
Candidates registered in a two-year diploma course (BTS, DUT, DEUST, BTMS, BM, DMA) may register for the examination during their studies, provided that the diploma is validated by September 1st of the current year.
The candidate may apply for the year higher than the one in which he/she is currently enrolled, subject to validation before the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
The year of admission will be determined by the jury on the basis of the artistic file.
The choice of the year of study on the OASIS platform is a wish addressed to the jury according to the candidate's level of study. The jury is sovereign as to the candidate's year of assignment.
