Introduction to the Bachelor’s Degree in Performance Arts, film studies and contemporary music

Any questions?

To prepare students for the demands of the cultural sector, the Bachelor’s degree in Culture, Arts and Cinema combines a solid foundation in general knowledge with a practical approach (cultural and events management, screenwriting and audiovisual production, artistic creation, etc.), and provides hands-on experience through compulsory work placements from the first year onwards.

Upon completion of the programme, students, supported by the teaching team, will be able to analyse art and artistic works, understand the challenges facing cultural practices from sociological and political perspectives, and draw on a network of cultural professionals.

The aim is to enable them to progress to Master’s programmes or specialist schools whilst acquiring practical knowledge of the sector.

Les témoignages de nos étudiants

I pursued this bachelor’s degree because I wanted to become a photographer, while keeping other career options open in case I changed my mind. It gave me a broad artistic education and a foundation in the arts, including an understanding of how the arts scene works in France. I was also able to get involved in student life at the Catho through the Student Federation.

former student in Bachelor's Degree Performance Arts, Film Studies and Contemporary Music

Les témoignages de nos étudiants

Alongside my studies, I’m very involved in the activities of the Creative Campus. For the past two years, I’ve been participating in dance and musical theater workshops… and this year, I even had the chance to play the lead role in the musical *Back to the 80’s – The Musical*. It’s an incredible opportunity, because it allowed me to go from being just a student to a performer on stage. It’s thanks to the guidance and trust I was given that I was able to truly shine.
