The Diplôme National d'Art (DNA) at the Ecole supérieure d'art annecy alpes in Annecy, France, is a three-year bachelor's-level programme in fine art and design. Annual tuition is 178 EUR, instruction is in French, and the programme begins in September. The Diplôme National d'Art is France's national degree for the first cycle of higher art and design education. Studio practice forms the heart of the curriculum, with students working across disciplines that may include drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, print, and digital media. Alongside studio work, students engage with art history, critical theory, aesthetics, and contemporary art discourse, developing the conceptual and analytical tools to reflect on and contextualise their creative practice. Annecy, situated in the Haute-Savoie department of the French Alps, is known for its cultural life and for the annual Annecy International Animated Film Festival, one of the world's principal events in animation and moving image. The Ecole supérieure d'art annecy alpes draws on this environment in its programme, which sits within a community with strong ties to visual arts and design. The DNA is the standard first stage of a French art school education. Most graduates continue to a master's-level programme to complete their qualification as professional artists or designers. Career paths in the visual arts, design, animation, cultural institutions, education, and the creative industries are open to those who complete both cycles of study. Admission requires selection tests.
