Master Arts Plastiques

Université Paris 1 - Panthéon Sorbonne, located in Paris, France, offers a Master Arts Plastiques delivered in French over two years. The field of plastic arts covers the practice, theory, and history of visual art forms including painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, installation, and increasingly digital and multimedia art. Students in this discipline typically study art history and theory alongside studio practice, developing both a personal artistic practice and a critical understanding of contemporary and historical art movements. Coursework often includes seminars on aesthetics, art criticism, exhibition practice, and the technical and material aspects of different artistic mediums, along with practical studio work supervised by practicing artists and researchers. Because the field bridges creative production and academic reflection, students are expected to produce and present original work while also engaging with critical and theoretical texts. Graduates commonly pursue careers as practicing artists, art teachers, curators, gallery or museum professionals, or work in cultural institutions and arts administration. Some continue toward doctoral research in art or art history, while others move into related creative industries such as design or publishing. The program has an inferred start date in September and is taught entirely in French, so applicants should be prepared to study, discuss, and write about art in that language. Yearly tuition is 250 EUR. Based in Paris, a major center for contemporary and historical art in France, the two-year master's degree suits students who already hold an undergraduate qualification in art or a related field and wish to deepen their artistic practice alongside academic study.
