School of ManagementInternational · International students
A theatre company, an exhibition or an idea can find its audience across borders. Based in Paris, AEMC has a European outlook: learning to bring different experiences into dialogue and give projects the means to travel.
Studying management for culture and the arts means learning to connect works, institutions and audiences. Every international student brings a perspective, a sense of place and a way of approaching cultural work.
Bring artistic practices, traditions and contemporary challenges from different cultural contexts into conversation.
Explore cooperation, the circulation of projects and audience engagement beyond a single national setting.
Make your studies part of a coherent personal, artistic and professional journey.
01 · International admission
An application opens a conversation between your experience, your ambitions and the demands of a programme.
Your educational background, cultural experience and professional aims provide the starting points for considering your application. Choosing a programme is an opportunity to identify the skills you want to develop and the role that studying in France will play in your plans.
Admission requirements, language requirements, dates and enrolment arrangements are specified for the programme you are considering.
Tell us about your projectThe procedure depends on your country of residence, nationality and chosen course. Campus France explains the Études en France process and the steps that apply. AEMC application arrangements and the documents available must be confirmed for each programme.

An international study plan connects the application process with your departure and arrival in France.
Your nationality, the length of your stay and the nature of your course determine the formalities that apply. France-Visas is the official reference for finding the relevant procedure, supporting documents and application arrangements.
Admission and the consular decision are separate assessments. Admission does not guarantee that a visa will be issued.
France-Visas · Studying in FranceDepending on the visa issued, you may need to complete validation or residence procedures. In particular, a long-stay visa valid as a residence permit (VLS-TS) must be validated online within three months of arrival.

Settling in is an important part of your study experience and of finding a balanced everyday routine.
Student accommodation, a shared flat or a private rental: consider each option in relation to your budget, study timetable and travel needs. Starting your search early gives you time to explore alternatives and prepare for your arrival.
Accommodation offered through the Crous network is one option, subject to eligibility and availability.
