Graduate Programs

As a component institution of the University Bourgogne Europe, ENSAD Dijon participates in two Graduate Programs that promote the exchange of knowledge while providing additional training to selected students.

Graduate Schools

The implementation of the common research and training strategy of the UBE members is divided into four main areas, all strongly connected at the regional level:

→ Technological transitions, smart and sustainable materials;
→ Earth, environments, food, and climates;
→ Systemic and integrated approach to health;
→ Arts, cultures, and humanities in society.

 

As part of the deployment of Graduate Schools (GS), the University Bourgogne Europe and its partners have established Graduate Programs (GP). These programs allow students to work transversally in different scientific fields linked to major societal challenges. ENSAD Dijon is associated with two Graduate Programs.

Imaginaries in the Anthropocene era (bodies, techniques, heritage) – ImaCène

The program aims to enable reflection on the role of the imaginary in our societies, particularly in areas where it seems absent. This is the case when discussing technological innovations (which nevertheless generate many scenarios of anticipation or science fiction), lifestyle changes related to the Anthropocene and its consequences, and finally, the body, which appears to be a place of organic objectivity, even though the imaginaries of the body are numerous and complex, intersecting with the experience of another body, the experience of impulse, sexuality, or interactions between bodies.

Art, Science, Anthropocene – (ASA)

Around various knowledge and research themes from the sciences, a specific protocol for bringing art and science closer together is methodologically implemented. It is offered to students as a field of aesthetic and sensory experimentation and as a framework for theoretical and societal reflection.

The ASA graduate program revolves around these three notions: scientific and aesthetic knowledge, research methods, and the Anthropocene. ASA takes place over five consecutive days, with the first day dedicated to presenting scientific and aesthetic knowledge, followed by three days of experimentation, and the fifth day devoted to contextualizing the research conducted in the context of the Anthropocene and presenting the workshop results.

Its objective is to raise awareness among master’s students of both theoretical and practical approaches to knowledge and methods from the fields of art, science, and design. Furthermore, this research should strongly question the place of humans in their environment through an increased dialogue between these different disciplines
