Founded in 1927 by the architect and interior designer Henry van de Velde, the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels de La Cambre (ENSAV) is one of the leading art and design schools in Belgium. It has 850 students in 20 art departments or workshops: ceramics, animation, drawing, urban space engraving and printmaking, painting, photography and sculpture, as well as a department of conservation and restoration of works of art and, in the field of design, options in industrial design and textile design, book and paper design (bookbinding), interior design, scenography, accessories, fashion design and creation, and two graphic design departments - visual and graphic communication, typography. Two new courses had started in September 2020: Texts and Literary Creation and in September 2021: Master in Dance and Choreographic Practices (training organised exclusively at Master level).
Students are also offered a range of cross-disciplinary artistic practices, both compulsory and optional: digital arts, life modelling and perspective, colour, video, performance and body arts, book arts and illustration, etc. In addition to their artistic training, students receive sustained theoretical and technical training, both general and specialised, and are encouraged to undertake work placements outside the school: Erasmus, artists’ assistantships, placements in art centres, agencies or companies, etc. The course lasts 5 years and is divided into 2 cycles: Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. The school also offers post-graduate training for the Agrégation - for those wishing to teach art - and prepares students for the Doctorat en art et sciences de l’art, organised jointly with the University. Outside the curriculum, it organises a propaedeutic course during the school year and a summer course, both aimed at students in their final year of secondary education who wish to pursue higher studies at an art school.
