Range of objectives by the Graduate school ARTS

  • Reinforcing research for Master’s and Doctorate degrees but also the articulation between bachelor’s/master’s and master’s/doctorate degrees.
  • Increasing international openness for Master’s and Doctorate degrees
  • Developing professional integration relying on the ARTS Institute’s dynamics.

The mobilised means will be the following :

  • Enriching the existing Master’s degrees offer (new training courses, internationalisation…)
  • Giving study and internship scholarships, helping mobility.
  • Setting up a pre-doctorate school year 
  • Supporting the Doctorate degrees being relevant to the scientific development strategy of the ARTS Institute.

Eligible trainings for the scholarships

  • ART MASTER : Contemporary creation and new technologies

    Two options : Digital art production or Digital music production

    Through a strong articulation between theoretical research, technical learning of the most advanced computer tools of production and creation, with the professionalizing master’s program “Contemporary Creation and New Technologies” students are trained in the theoretical and practical knowledge of the aesthetic, formal and professional concerns of contemporary digital creation in the fields of sound and image.
    The training is supported by various regional partner cultural institutions and associations. A specific equipment stock (computers, sensors, interfaces, shooting tools, sound recording and broadcasting, etc.), as well as dedicated production sites (music studio, shooting studio, multimedia model studio, etc.) are made available to students during their two years of training. 
    For both specialties, the student can opt for the realization of personal creative projects or on research projects, which can in the latter case lead to a doctorate registration.

  • ART MASTER : Fine art creation and research

    The Fine Art courses aims to deepen research capacities according to two different fields:

    • production with the ability to distance and critically reflect on it.
    • development of a theoretical reflection in aesthetics and art sciences about a piece, an artist, a period or a question related to the fine arts in their various forms and manifestations.

  • ART MASTER : Administration and management of Music

    This Master is a highly specialized course in the field of musical management and mediation. The training aims to allow students to acquire a double competence in music and cultural administration, so that they can demonstrate a professional profile likely to meet responsibilities involving the management of musical events within public or private institutions. It is a preparation for professional life as a music manager.
    The first year consists of a specialization in musicology with courses in music management and musical mediation. The AGM Master offers a double degree with IAE Saint-Étienne and the Master MAE (Management and Business Administration).

  • ART MASTER : Research in musicology

    The first year of the Master (M1) prepares by the game of options, the definition of a research theme and the possible choice of an internship, both to a second year in “Master Music and Musicology” with research focus, and to a second year in Master “Administration and Management of Music” or Master “Director in Computer Music” for professional purposes. Methodology and language courses, a professional integration module and an internship as well as the follow-up of seminars are the common activities to all M1 students. Each student benefits, for his research project, from the regular and personalized supervision of a teacher-researcher.
    The fields represented are those of Western scholarly music – from the Middle Ages to the present day –, electrodigital music, ethnomusicology, contemporary music and jazz.

  • ART MASTER : Science of art

    In this master’s program, each student defines a research theme that belongs to him or her own and benefits from the regular supervision of a research director. At the same time, he continues to develop his skills in broader areas, through diversified seminars.
    Within the “Art Sciences” course, students are more specifically asked to question a specific body of contemporary works in order to identify their forms and aesthetic or social issues. The research work is based on the identification of sources, a set of readings and the implementation of a methodology. Students are thus prepared for careers in research, teaching, critique or artistic mediation.

  • DESIGN MASTER : Arts and crafts

    The pedagogical project of the Master “Design trades and art industries” is oriented towards a plural approach to design – from craft practices to industrial issues – combining experimentation, creation and theorization. Its uniqueness lies in its articulation with professional training platforms often unique in France – glass with National School of Glass, textiles, or wood and jewelry. The training thus brings a new perspective on areas that are still too little informed and qualified today by fostering a close and fruitful dialogue between the actors. It also promotes the development of skills and knowledge around these complex notions while working on dynamics such as territorial economic and political concerns.

  • DESIGN MASTER : Prospective design

    Students build on their core of knowledge already acquired in their initial training by acquiring in the Master additional knowledge that allows:
    • to invest in a multidisciplinary approach to design issues (innovation management, eco-design, engineering);
    • to propose innovative solutions with a controlled risk.

    The Master thus provides tools and methods to identify transition levers, develop a strategic vision according to possible futures and build the stages of realization of a prospective scenario.
    As part of the Master’s thesis carried out in the second year of the master, students take advantage of these achievements in the realization of a personal research thesis and in a professionalizing situation during an internship in a company from 4 to 6 months.

  • GEOMATICS MASTER

    The Master offer students a high-level theoretical, conceptual and practical training on geospatial information technologies and their implementation in the field of geomatics but also in the many fields of application or research: environment, risk, planning, urban planning, transport, territory, culture, computer science…
    The occupations of geomatics and geographic information are placed among the “10 professions for the future” and the Master intends to train students in the emerging applications of geomatics: data visualization, communication, geoweb, geolocated services, digital humanities and smart city.

  • LITERATURE MASTER : Modern literature

    The Master’s degree in Modern Literature aims to train two-year students specializing in French language and literature, Francophone literature, comparative literature, literary sources from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, by providing them with excellent training.

    Master 2 offers two options:

    • the general option “Modern Literature”
    • the “Literature and Cultural Studies” option, distance learning.

  • LITERATURE MASTER : Occupation in cultural institutions

    This master’s degree with a reflexive aim as well as anchored in the professional field of culture will allow to acquire a good knowledge of cultural objects and the means to accompany them by the speech and its formatting, but also by the organization of events and associative or institutional devices aimed at promoting them. It is intrinsically multidisciplinary (literature and arts), and links various cultural objects, through a transversal vision of culture. It is particularly sensitive to the contemporary sphere and its problems: new media and transmediality, hybridization of cultural practices, multiplication and dispersion of ways of behaving in front of an audience….
    Focused on experimentation, this master’s degree promotes and encourages contact with professionals from the local, national and international fabric without neglecting theoretical and critical training. Students are also required to promote their own production during the training, as part of individual, collective and professional projects (internships).

  • SOCIOLOGY MASTER : Research forms and tools in social science

    This training aims at learning the knowledge and know-how at the heart of the sociologist’s profession.
    It opens up to the occupations of research and teaching and all occupations using social science research, its different forms, its new tools (cartography, digital …)
    It is more particularly dedicated at urban occupations in the public, private or associative sector, the occupations of social intervention and the professions of expertise and new digital cultures.
