Educational method The EAC Group has become in the course of its history the most important group of higher education dedicated to culture. Educational philosophy Beyond academic knowledge, the EAC wants students to live a «learning story» during their training. Based on active learning, the International MBA in Art, Culture and Luxury provides know-how and methodological & technical tools directly applicable in the professional world. The EAC has adopted a strategy of emphasizing professional activities such as case studies, internships, vocational training, projects, etc., and recruiting industry professionals to teach classes. This strategy has become the basis of a complete educational philosophy that offers students a concrete vision of the artistic and cultural issues they will face as future professionals. Dissertation The dissertation stems from organised thinking and research focused on a specific topic. This work is an essential tool for launching a professional career, since it enables students to create a network through meetings with major actors of the artistic and cultural environment: curators, foundation directors, auctioneers, dealers, designers, exhibition or festival organisers, etc. Students thus come to be recognised as particularly competent in one or more fields of the art market, cultural coordination or luxury management. A few examples: International trade of works of arts in France Auction sales on the net The place of salsa in the French market Europe, towards a common cultural policy Technological innovation in contemporary theatre The social link : a challenge for music festivals Professional project The professional project is designed to be a training ground for the development of professional skills. Students work throughout the year with one or more professionals to complete the project. They acquire human resources and coaching skills. The task consists of four assignments: a sectoral study, a development initiative, an innovative operational project and an artistic or cultural project. Students form teams taking into consideration the realities and needs of the international art market. A few examples: Organization of the American Jazz Festival Developing partnerships and patronage for private castles Implementing a pop-up boutique concept : Hermes and Paul & Joe Creating an online art platform Exporting the Biennale des Antiquaires to Qatar Creating an African contemporary art guide Internships Internships will allow students to enrich their academic knowledge by getting hands-on experience and gain valuable experience that can make them more marketable to employers. The main goals of the internship are to: discover the multiple aspects of the functioning of a business promote the personal and professional integration of the student to a team in the field of activity evaluate ones skills in regards of the profession take part in projects be in contact with professional experts A few examples: Organisation of the Paris Book Fair Universal Music France, promotion coordinator Alliance française in Chicago, Administration, communication and organisation of cultural events Wagram music, within the marketing team, coordination and monitoring of actions, projects and marketing tools Maison Lalique, assistant to the Communication department Christie s France, Business Management department: taking part in the good execution of sales and updating and monitoring sales results Cartier, management of sales John Paul, project manager for the partnership and reporting department Gemmyo, marketing project management
Create connections with participants from different countries and cultures. Meet leading experts of the arts, culture and luxury sector The EAC Faculty The EAC teaching faculty has over 350 speakers, including more than thirty PhD Professors. They publish research work, thus contributing to the dynamics of teaching at the EAC as well as promoting deep thinking and self-questioning. Pascal Odille Pascal Odille is an expert at the CNES (National Chamber of Specialized Experts) and a specialist of contemporary art. He teaches in France and Lebanon and works as an investment consultant for private individuals. His experience with the greatest auction houses allows him to have a global vision of the market that he uses effectively as the Artistic Director of Menasart-Fair (International Contemporary Art Fair of Beirut) for Middle East and North-Africa countries. Lucie Emgba Lucie Emgba is a professor and researcher in cultural history and art markets at the EAC. She teaches various creative fields in the African and Oceanian arts while analyzing the international market of the African and Oceanian «primitive arts». Thanks to her knowledge, students can identifiy the main characteristics of African and Oceanian artistic productions. Séverine Dupuy-Busson Séverine Dupuy-Busson is a lawyer at the Court, doctor of Law, professor at Evry-Val d Essonne University and a member of the French Association for media rights and culture. She has been teaching at the EAC for 10 years, exploring with great and vivid imagination the contemporary legal issues. Séverine Dupuy- Busson explores the contemporary legal issues: «The freedom of expression on the Internet: the social Medias (Facebook, Twitter...) are not lawless places. Workers who criticize their hierarchy on Facebook can be dismissed, an Internet user who created a group denigrating the Police was condemned and the death of a participant of a giant aperitif in Nantes that was organized via Facebook was controversial. Yet, despite these very numerous disputes, many users of these Medias tend to forget or chose to ignore the fact that there is no legal loophole on the Internet». And many more Testimonials My professional projects allowed me to meet professionals of the audiovisual world and to comprehend the functioning and requirements of this sector. It also helped me develop my professional network. Marie-Laure Gallerand I got into the second year of the MBA program to get the professional skills in order to run a cultural structure. The diversity of the classes along with the theoretical knowledge and the group work appeared to be crucial for the making of cultural projects. Hélène Gout My programme at the EAC allowed me to discover the management of transverse disciplines of the culture: art, heritage, live performance. I was able to put into practice the knowledge of budget management and communication during the organization of various artistic events. The professional network which I was able to establish during my training allowed me to develop personal projects. This training completely corresponded to my professional project which is to develop projects of French-Chinese cultural exchanges. Xiaochun Ruan With a passion for art history and archaeology, I followed my first cycle at the Ecole du Louvre before starting my MBA in order to get a more professional education. The EAC allowed me to bring out my academic culture through the professional world. Sophie Wetzel The school in general and specifically my MBA helped me gain general knowledge. My program allowed me to discover and prepare to face the professional world through rich, dense and intense meetings with professors. Khadijia Hamdi Thanks to the close relationships that EAC students build with their professors, I was able to build professional connections with some of my former professors who became my customers. I doubt that this would have been possible if I had been to University. Guillaume Champavère Throughout my entire five-year program at the EAC I learned a lot thanks to the professors and professionnal speakers. Most of them are coming from the art market professional world and they taught me a lot about the realities of the market today. Maxime Roudil
