InternationalClass trips, partnerships, Erasmus +

A new trip each year

Each year, professors and students from our 2nd and 3rd years of initial training pack their bags to embark on an architectural and cultural discovery journey to a new European city. Visits to agencies, studios, museums, exhibitions, architecture, and design schools are at the heart of the program. This trip is particularly appreciated by all because it fosters bonds from the first semester and contributes to the formation of a common harmony within the classes and the school.

Our international partners

ESAM Design has concluded 17 cooperation agreements and is considering establishing dual degrees with universities in English-speaking countries. The school is constantly expanding its network.

Erasmus + Preparing for a Career in a Globalized World

ESAM Design holds an Erasmus + charter which realizes and contributes to increasing our partnerships abroad. Obtaining the charter allows students to pursue 1 or 2 semester(s) of training at another European art school and to complete up to 2 internships during their studies in a European country.

Students and teachers benefiting from this program receive a scholarship throughout their mobility.

According to a study by the European Commission*, 70% of students who went on mobility improved their employability skills. 64% of employers say international experience is important in their hiring criteria. 90% of students who went on Erasmus improved their behavioral skills, such as the ability to interact and work with people from different cultures, adaptability, foreign language proficiency, and communication skills. *Erasmus Impact Study: Key Findings, September 2014.

Language Level
Students going on Erasmus mobility must take a language proficiency test before departure and after the mobility period. Erasmus + has also set up a linguistic support platform, allowing access to online language courses.
