Open Days

What if this visit helped decide your future?

What if this visit helped you decide your future?
Designed for school groups, this is an opportunity to get to know ESAD. Here, art and design don’t stay in the classroom: they meet research, culture, and real-world practice.

There comes a time when tough questions arise:
Which path should I take? What should I choose? Where does it make sense to invest my time and talent? That’s where a visit can make a difference.

At Open Days, students enter the workshops, explore the school’s spaces, and see how learning happens — by doing. More than just learning about the academic offerings, they’ll immerse themselves in the school’s atmosphere and understand the dynamics of the courses by experiencing the processes firsthand.

During the visit, you can:

Tour the School Grounds

Explore classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories, libraries, recreational facilities, and other important areas of ESAD.

Attend Presentations

Participate in presentations about specific academic programs, admission processes, financial aid, and other relevant topics.

Meet Faculty and Staff

Interact with professors and other staff members to gain insights into the teaching approach and support services available.

Engage with Current Students

Speak with current students to learn about their experiences, the campus culture, and extracurricular activities.

Gather Information on Admissions

Receive guidance on the application process, admission requirements, and deadlines.

Learn about Accommodation

If applicable, explore nearby housing options and living arrangements.

Participate in Activities or Demonstrations

Take part in interactive sessions, activities, or demonstrations that provide a hands-on experience related to specific programs.

Explore Career Services

Learn about the career services offered by the university, including internships, job placement assistance, and networking opportunities.

Each visit is adapted to the profile and interests of the group, and for many students, it’s the moment when everything “clicks”.

If you are not part of a school group, you can also take an individual tour.
