Partnerships

The École du Louvre offers its students a wide range of educational partnerships with establishments in France and abroad.

Introduction

Students at the École du Louvre can opt for a wide range of partnerships, including two double degrees, semesters or years of exchange abroad (Erasmus + program), doctoral co-supervision with French and foreign universities, as well as many other teaching partnerships.

National partnerships

In collaboration with the Conseil des maisons de vente, the École du Louvre provides the four weeks of theoretical and practical training scheduled for each of the two years of professional internship preceding the profession's qualifying examination.

This training, comprising three weeks of lectures and one week of study trips each year, enables students to deepen their knowledge of art history, in areas of creation little covered in a traditional curriculum but often illustrated in the auction room. Lectures given at the École du Louvre are followed by small-group practical work in various museums, galleries or cultural establishments.

 

  • Admission requirements

These courses are exclusively reserved for trainee auctioneers after passing the course access exam held each September.
