<p class="chapo">The French culture, especially within the arts, is recognized around the world. Therefore, being able to gain experience and a degree design at ESAG can be a great advantage for those students who would like professional experience in another country. Japan, for example, is very interested in French design and &ldquo;French touch&rdquo; designers are highly sought after.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="chapo">International students can enrol at ESAG to gain further educational experience at either a Bachelors Degree or Masters degree level. Also, students who have already obtained a Bachelor of Art can enrol in our 2-year Masters Degree program.</p>

<p class="chapo">Our design program is divided into two different specializations:</p>

<p class="chapo">1) Art Direction in Graphic Design: visual communication, editorial (print and digital), branding &amp; global design and the moving image (within the video, film and advertising sectors)</p>

<p class="chapo">2) Interior Architecture: residential design, retail, hospitality &amp; public services, events design and bespoke furniture &amp; prospective design.</p>

<p class="chapo">All of our design courses are devised to give each student a unique and comprehensive experience that incorporates both new technology and traditional design techniques. Enabling them to create design solutions that respond to the needs of our rapidly changing society.</p>

<p class="chapo">All of our courses are full-time and planned on a weekly basis. The weekly schedule has been set up according to the specific demands and requirements of the professional design industry and combines different design disciplines.<br />
There are approximately 30 hours of planned coursework &ndash; students are also expected to undertake approximately 30 hours of personal study each week at home. Although the length of each course may vary, students work on a minimum of 2 projects per trimester in each of our design programs.<br />
Students study either a 3-year Bachelors Degree Program and&nbsp;a 2-year&nbsp;Masters Degree Program.<br />
A first year foundation course is mandatory for all students and part of the 3-year program, resulting in the completion of a Bachelors Degree. Students can then, if successfully selected, continue their studies 2 more years in order to obtain a Masters Degree in their chosen speciality.<br />
3-year&nbsp;Bachelors Degree Program = L1 + L2 + L3<br />
2-year&nbsp;Masters Degree Program =&nbsp;M1 + M2<br />
International exchange students can participate in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year programs (L3, M1 &amp; M2)</p>
