InternationalClass trips, partnerships, Erasmus +

International exchanges and the cross-cultural sharing of practices in the field of applied arts are essential for maintaining creative vitality. Since signing the first ERASMUS charter in 2008, ESAM DESIGN has been committed to an active international presence: student and teacher exchanges, workshops, study trips throughout Europe, and inviting international professionals to participate in diploma juries, among other initiatives.

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.

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.
