Masters

Create and Design

The teaching at ESAM DESIGN applies the very principles of the profession, particularly in the approach to project management. Students often work on real-life cases. The team of professors guides them in project realization, emphasizing research, concept, creativity, and providing them with mastery of technical tools.

The objective of the curriculum is to lead the student to assume a role as a project leader in interior architecture/design. Therefore, the student must assert a unique creative approach that places the user at its core and analyzes the multiple challenges related to the project context.

Sophie Baudin

Going on Erasmus allowed me to develop a curious outlook, explore design, and experience a different pedagogy.

I have quite an unconventional background. I have a degree in visual communication, but I quickly decided to move towards spatial design. I pursued a master's in scenography, during which I met cabinetmakers and interior architects. While waiting to take the equivalence test to join ESAM Design, I worked as a communication manager in sustainable development and obtained a Carpentry Certificate in nine months. Then, I enrolled in the third year of interior architecture at ESAM Design.

In the second semester, I went to NABA in Milan as part of the Erasmus + program. This experience brought me a lot culturally and personally. I was fortunate to live in Milan during Design Week. It allowed me to develop a curious outlook, explore design, and experience a different pedagogy. I had to adapt to a new rhythm, another language (all classes were in English), and a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. We were working in groups, similar to ESAM DESIGN, with a lot of autonomy and freedom. In just a few months, we produced a quite professional comprehensive project.
