CampusArt is a unique shared and dematerialized recruitment program created in 2005 at the request of Campus France partner institutions and in partnership with the Ministries in charge of Foreign Affairs, Higher Education and Culture. It participates in the influence of French cultural diplomacy. CampusArt consists of an information website in French and English on art and architecture studies and diplomas; a registration, application and file submission platform for students; a platform for jury selection and recruitment on behalf of member higher education institutions.

This exceptional program makes it possible to submit an online application at different levels of courses in art, design, fashion, music, architecture, etc., and thus gives students from all countries access to artistic training that school managers have chosen to offer via CampusArt.
