Bachelor in Licence - Arts plastiques

Tuition comes to 178 EUR per year.

Visual arts programmes combine studio practice with art theory and history to develop both technical skills and critical thinking. Students typically work across drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and digital media, while also studying the history of modern and contemporary art, aesthetics, and the sociology of artistic production. Written coursework in art criticism and art theory complements practical studio hours, and students are expected to develop and articulate an artistic practice within a broader cultural and historical framework. Questions about the status of the art object, the role of institutions, and the relationship between craft and concept are central to many visual arts curricula. The Licence - Arts plastiques at Université de Rennes 2 in Rennes, France, leads to a bachelor-level degree over 3 years. Instruction is conducted in French, and the programme begins each September. Annual tuition is 178 EUR, consistent with standard French public university fees. Graduates work as practising artists, art educators, cultural mediators, gallery assistants, graphic designers, and visual communication professionals. Further study at master's level in fine arts, art education, or cultural project management is a common pathway. The combination of studio skills and theoretical grounding equips graduates for roles in the arts, education, and the creative industries.
