Haute école des arts du Rhin

As a public establishment, Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR) provides higher education courses (equivalent to bachelor’s and master’s degrees) in Visual Arts (Art, Art-Object, Graphic Communication, Design, Textile Design, Information Design, Illustration, Scenography) and Music (Classical, Ancient and Contemporary Music, Jazz and Improvised Music). Based in France, in Mulhouse and Strasbourg, HEAR prepares students towards becoming autonomous creators, authors and musicians able to interpret and invent artistic languages. To offer students the best international experience, HEAR has developed partnerships with over 100 institutions in 30 countries around the world.

The teaching of the arts cannot follow a unique method and never ceases to reinvent itself. HEAR asserts pedagogical experimentation by favoring unusual academic paths and valuing different forms of expression. By associating theoretical and practical teachings, both individually and collectively, we ensure the personal empowerment and social awareness of our students. Built on a deliberate progression, their academic path is also made of take-offs and downturns, all of which are constructive experiences. Throughout his /her life, the musician, the designer, or the visual artist takes on these risks and deals with the uncertain.
