Preparatory classes

CFP Arts Geneva, Centre de Formation Professionnelle ArtsPropaedeutic class preparing for the HEAD Bachelor admission exams - Geneva
The CFP Arts offers a one-year preparatory class for students with a high school diploma to prepare for the Bachelor's degree entrance exams in Visual Arts, Film and Design. A broad overview of the disciplines, both practical and theoretical, allows students to situate and orient themselves, to develop a first stage of personal projects, and to explore and experiment with the tools of creation. The propaedeutic program includes an interdisciplinary exploratory component and a pre-specialization component linked to the various professional fields of Interior Architecture, Visual Arts, Cinema, Visual Communication, Jewellery Design and Fashion Design. Holders of a maturité can enter directly into the HEAD - Geneva's Visual Arts and Cinema entrance exams. However, the propaedeutic is highly recommended for those who need additional training.
In order to be admitted to the Interior Architecture, Visual Communication, Fashion Design and Jewelry and Accessories Design competitions, holders of a high school diploma are required to take a propaedeutic class or to complete a 9-month professional internship.
