Course presentation

Put your future in perspective

During the 5 years of training, between theoretical and practical learning, our students discuss and reflect on the theories of space on a daily basis.

This is a line of questioning that they constantly feed into and confront during design workshops focusing on the layout of spaces, playing with volumes, circulation, materials and light.

A solid grounding in the artistic and technical skills needed to join design offices and architectural practices, or to enter the job market as a freelancer.

At ESMA we take
success seriously.
