Lycée Diderot

Lycée Diderot is a public school in Paris located in the 19th arrondissement, near the boulevard de la Villette. Historically oriented toward technical and industrial trades, it now offers a range of programs from the baccalauréat to higher education diplomas (BTS, DN MADE), within a comprehensive high school framework where technological, vocational, and post-bac tracks coexist.

The DN MADE Objet

In applied arts, the school offers training leading to the DN MADE mention Objet, a national diploma in arts and design crafts conferring a bachelor's degree level over three years. The program combines project culture, drawing and representation, materials technology, workshop practice, and three-dimensional work, with a gradual build-up toward a personal end-of-course project.

The Objet track is aimed at students interested in product and object design: designing functional pieces, formal research, prototyping, and the interplay between technical gesture and design intent. The setting of a high school equipped with technical workshops is an asset for experimentation and fabrication.

Admission and further studies

Admission is through Parcoursup, based on application and portfolio, following a general, technological (STD2A), or vocational baccalauréat, or a preparatory year in applied arts. The diploma enables professional integration (agencies, studios, workshops, companies) or further study toward a DSAA, a master's degree, or a higher school of art and design.

It is advisable to consult the school's website and open house days for details on the program offered.
