Interior Architecture, Fashion, Graphic Design, Animation and Video Games

Discover the school

Founded in Lyon at the crossroads of artistic tradition and innovation, Bellecour École has been training the next generation of creative professionals for over 85 years.

From fashion to animation, from graphic design to video games, from interior architecture to emerging fields, the school has always evolved in step with its time and with the transformations of the creative industries. Our creativity, recognized in France and internationally, is built on a studio-based approach combining immersive workshops, hands-on projects, and a firmly multidisciplinary mindset. This method is strengthened by close support, carefully sized classes, and dedicated attention to each student. At Bellecour École, creativity is never viewed in isolation. It draws from the real world, blends with other disciplines — strategy, marketing, digital, law — and is seen as a driver of impact. Our students develop strong expertise, a curious mindset, and the ability to collaborate and innovate with agility. To train, support, and reveal talent: this has been our mission since 1937. And while our roots are in Lyon, our vision is firmly focused on the worlds of tomorrow.
