Since 2015, the school has been offering training programs adapted to international students under the name Beaux-Arts International.

These programs include a personalized welcome (visa procedures, housing, banking, etc.), a reinforced learning of the French language as well as a refresher course in art or design. The courses are taught by a team of international artists and professionals with a strong intercultural sensitivity.
Students continue their studies at the Nantes Saint-Nazaire School of Fine Arts or go on to other art or design schools.

Our school thus encourages international mobility, thanks to various mobility and funding schemes (Erasmus +, Envoléo, Ofaj and school scholarships).

In 2021, the school has 36 partnership agreements with partner institutions of higher artistic education in 22 countries. Students can go to one of these partner destinations for one or two semesters of study.

Numerous short and medium-term educational stays are offered to students. Destination: our international campuses: Marfa (USA), Asia (South Korea) and Dakar (Senegal).

These research sites are above all platforms for debate, research and production that engage students, artists and researchers in multiform exchanges.

In 2019, the school founds Fieldwork Marfa Consortium, a network of 9 art schools engaged in joint educational and research projects in Marfa, Texas.
This consortium brings together three North American institutions: CalArts, California Institute of the Arts, USA; University of Houston, Texas, USA and Concordia University, Montreal, Canada;
two European institutions Glasgow School of Art, UK and HEAD - Geneva, Switzerland;
four French institutions Beaux-Arts de Paris, Atelier de Sèvres, Beaux-Arts Nantes Saint-Nazaire and Université de Nantes.
