Lycée Jules Haag

A Besançon technical high school with a strong tradition

The lycée Jules Haag is a public institution in Besançon, heir to the city's long technical and horological tradition. It owes its name to Jules Haag, a mathematician and physicist who directed the Institut de chronométrie de Besançon: a lineage that recalls the school's historical grounding in precision, measurement and microtechnologies.

Programs and strengths

The institution offers a wide range of technological and vocational programs, from the baccalauréat to higher education diplomas, in the fields of microtechnology, electronics, optics and industrial sciences.

In the field of design, it hosts a DN MADE mention Graphisme (diplôme national des métiers d'art et du design, bachelor's level, over three years). The program covers visual identity, typography, publishing, printed and digital image, with a project-based pedagogy combining practical workshops, arts and design culture, and technologies.

Who it is for

The setting of a polytechnic high school may appeal to students drawn to an environment where graphic design engages with technical cultures. As with any DN MADE, it is advisable to consult the precise content of the program and the expectations on Parcoursup, as well as to prepare a portfolio.
