Lycée Jules Verne

Overview

The lycée Jules Verne in Sartrouville (Yvelines) is a public institution that hosts, alongside its general and technological tracks, a higher education division in applied arts.

It offers a DN MADE mention Spectacle, a national diploma in arts and crafts and design conferring a bachelor's degree level. The programme runs over three years and combines theoretical courses (history of art and performance, culture of arts and design, technologies) with project workshops, including internship periods and a final-year project.

What sets it apart

The Spectacle mention orients the work towards the performing and event arts: scenography, stage space, lighting, costume, props, technical direction and visual devices. Students learn to design a project in dialogue with an artistic team and to test its technical feasibility, often through mock-ups, prototypes and workshop productions.

Being located in Île-de-France is an asset for this specialty: proximity to numerous theatres, opera houses, festivals and production structures, which facilitates professional encounters, visits and internships.

Access and pathways

Admission is via Parcoursup, based on application (with expectations regarding artistic practice and motivation); a preparatory year in applied arts may be useful for candidates coming from non-artistic tracks.

After the DN MADE, pathways lead to professional integration in the performing arts fields or to further studies at master's level, art and design schools, or specialized scenography programmes.
