Procedure reserved for ÉSAD Orléans students
Independently of the ‘DNA’ degree, ÉSAD Orléans students’ admission to the Master’s program is submitted to the assent of the graduate admissions commission. The admissions commission must decide on the students’ ability to join the graduate program at ÉSAD Orléans, and ÉSAD Orléans’ capacity to guide the students’ work, leading them to the Master’s degree.
The pursuit towards the ‘DNSEP’ degree at ÉSAD Orléans therefore requires both assent from the Master’s Commission and obtaining the DNA.
