Year 4

Interior Architecture Expert Cycle

Making spaces accessible to everyone for a long time to come.

The 4th year of the Professional Cycle gives students all the tools they need to assess the feasibility of an interior design project. Standards, regulations, eco-responsibility, taking account of disabilities, etc.

To anticipate tomorrow’s challenges, our students develop specific skills in the technical aspects of design, which they put into practice during a long-term internship.

At ESMA we take

What does the fourth year involve?

We'll teach you the broad outlines of the business, so you can make the big decisions.

By immersing themselves fully in the professional world, our students are able to put their learning into practice in the real world of interior design.

During the months of internship or apprenticeship, they take on long-term projects and the complex activities that go with them for the first time. Client management, site preparation and monitoring, commercial aspects..

This year of teaching is an opportunity to explore the different fields and areas of intervention of interior architects and to facilitate their future integration into working life.
