Lycée professionnel Des Métiers d'Art SEPR

Overview

The SEPR (Société d'Enseignement Professionnel du Rhône) is a private vocational training institution in Lyon, one of the oldest in France, historically focused on apprenticeship and manual and technical trades. Within this large complex, the lycée professionnel des métiers d'art constitutes the hub dedicated to creation, art craftsmanship, and design.

Profile and specifics

The institution's culture is built on work-study programs and close ties with businesses and workshops in the Lyon region. Teaching is organized around technical facilities: workshops, machinery, and tools specific to art trades, giving significant emphasis to practice and professional craftsmanship.

SEPR is particularly recognized for its training in art and precision trades (sectors such as jewelry-making, watchmaking, eyewear, furniture, and decoration, depending on the year), from CAP to the vocational baccalaureate, complemented by opportunities for further higher education studies.

Higher education programs

Two DN MADE tracks (diplôme national des métiers d'art et du design, bachelor's level, 3 years) are offered via Parcoursup:

• DN MADE mention Numérique: interface design, image, and digital mediation.
• DN MADE mention Objet: object design, materials, prototyping, connection with artisanal know-how.

Who this suits

Students drawn to a professionalizing environment, apprenticeship, and design grounded in materials and manufacturing, rather than purely theoretical teaching. Check each year with the institution for available tracks and admission terms.
