The Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) (Institute of Media Arts) was created in 1959. From the outset, its purpose was to offer the full scope of courses and trainings relating to the audiovisual and performing arts within the framework of a single institute laying the emphasis on their artistic dimension. Since its creation, the IAD trained more than 1,900 people to the professions associated with cinema, television, radio, animation, multimedia and theatre.
The pedagogical objective of the IAD is to train professional artists combining creativity, artistic sensibility, technical know-how and communication skills. Fictions, documentaries, scriptwriting, broadcasting, direction of photography, camera, editing, continuity, sound design, live sound engineering, special effects, 2D/3D animation, web design, …. theater, staging, … the training at the IAD opens to the learning of different forms of art expression.
The IAD belongs to the Artistic Postsecondary Educational Programme - Domain of the Performing Arts, Media and Communication Techniques – and the diplomas it delivers are homologated by the State. The school belongs to the free and governement funded educational system of the Commmunauté Française (Wallonia – Brussels ) of Belgium. The academic programme of the IAD delivers Master's or Bachelor's Degrees. The IAD also delivers a certificate allowing to teach in the secondary education upper level as well as certificates in production and radio animation. The IAD forms the students to become professional artists who combine artistic creativity, technical skill and communication ability. All the courses are given in french.
Installed in Louvain-La-Neuve, the IAD entertains close links with the Université Catholique de Louvain-la-Neuve. An intense and fruitful collaboration has developed between the Centre Audiovisuel of Louvain (CAV) and the IAD. The Social Communication Department of the UCL (COMU) is also a privileged partner, collaborating particularly through the Ecole de journalisme of Louvain and cooperating with our Drama Department through the Centre d’Etudes Théâtrales (CET) and the Atelier Théâtre Jean Vilar. Louvain-la-Neuve is a university town with many cultural, social and material assets to share. Accomodation is easily found and many shops and services of all kinds make students’ every day life very enjoyable. The town offers theatres, museums, a media library... The cultural offer embraces a large scope of activities : lectures, discussion forums, exhibitions, concerts of all kinds. The university libraries are open to our students; those fond of sports will find all they need: a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor sports fields...
