International and exchanges
International mobility, a key element in the artistic and cultural pathways of contemporary art and graphic design in general, enables students to complete their acquisitions.
It also enables the school to raise its profile by welcoming foreign students.
Exposure to other methods of education and teaching, cultural enrichment, professionalization and personal development are the main objectives we aim to achieve at ÉSAD Pyrénées, through participation in the Erasmus+ program and through the development of artistic projects in Europe, particularly with cross-border partners.

With two sites - in Pau and Tarbes - at the foot of the Pyrenees, 1 hour from the Atlantic Ocean, 2 hours from Bordeaux and Toulouse, and less than 250 km from Bilbao and Saragossa, our school prioritizes the development of collaborations with foreign schools specializing in multimedia graphic design and ceramics.
Our international partnerships, born of meetings between teachers or projects defined by the themes that form the main thrust of our teaching, enrich and optimize our educational offering.
