Graphic design: typography, publishing, image, visual identity, events, multimedia and theory. Years 2 and 3 are spent in the sector; the common first year (60 ECTS) gives shared theoretical, technical and methodological bases.
Admission to the first year of the Licence is by competitive entrance exam (concours) via Parcoursup: the ENSAD must appear among confirmed choices; the 2026 session was capped at 72 places. Phase 1 is Parcoursup registration; phase 2 is an online admissibility file (personal work portfolio plus a response to a set home-creation topic); phase 3 is an artistic production test and a jury interview. Final admission requires the baccalauréat or an equivalent diploma, unless a derogation was granted. Entry into year 2 or 3 is possible through the commission d'entrée en cours de cursus (60 ECTS for L2, 120 ECTS for L3; 15-page PDF portfolio, CV and cover letter; B2 French (TCF or DELF) for non-French speakers).
