Reims School of Art and Design - one of the most ancient French schools of fine arts - is well established in the XXIst century. Reputed for the excellence of its training, the School offers a particular pedagogy based upon the intervention of professionals in the art and design industries, open to the European exchanges and the cultural globalisation. Its dynamics – which spread its reputation outside of our borders – enables its students to get various experience opportunities and meetings in the field of creation, research and potential study. The ESAD of Reims is a public institution which delivers national diplomas: It is a quality label and a guarantee of the public service values.   The designer pushes the limits of what can be questioned in its form, its use and its mode of conception. Art is the base of design as it is taught in Reims: In an author’s approach that protects from the standardisation of the moment and dependence on the brand. Art and design are taught across disciplines. Product design – the major specialisation at ESAD – is taught with space, graphic and digital design. Food design was born in Reims almost ten years ago and is currently a laboratory open to all students and engaged in many partnerships. These outlooks give the students more responsiveness and a variety of competences moving with the times.
