With that in mind, we offer second-year bachelor students on the Design d'Espace pathway an optional mobility period in Valencia, Spain. A unique opportunity to enjoy an academic, cultural and linguistic experience in the heart of a European city renowned for its creative and urban energy.

« A former ESDAC student in interior architecture, I now run my own interior architecture practice between Megève and Geneva.
My success is also, in part, theirs and that of the whole teaching team. I have had the chance to compare this course with many other schools through the work-study students I have met from all over France. ESDAC is clearly one of the most complete courses out there: you are given every key you need to succeed in the professional world, and it is then up to each student to take them up seriously. The teachers are committed and highly skilled, the programmes are in step with what the market expects, and the skills you gain make a real career possible, including internationally, for motivated students.
I would recommend this school without hesitation, as much for its human scale as for its professional quality. »
Hugo Allegre - Mastère Design Architecture d’Intérieur - ESDAC Clermont-Ferrand
« Product Design is a discipline I teach at ESDAC, where we try to design everyday objects methodically across every possible sector (sport, medical, luxury, craft, industrial production runs, etc.). What we really want to pass on to students is the passion and the curiosity for making things, and the habit of thinking before putting an idea forward and then building it on solid foundations". " In this section we try to find the designer that each student wants to become. »
Maxime Paulet, Product Design tutor at ESDAC Aix-en-Provence
« What is great about ESDAC is that the teachers are there to guide us in what we want to do. We steer our projects with our tutors, but the ideas come from us. It is collective work with our tutors and that is what is wonderful about this school. Nicolas Robineau was my technical tutor and he always gave me the keys never to get stuck in my ideas. That is also what we lack as students, having too little and too much to do at once, so while we are still studying we can let go, open up the possibilities of the building and improve our knowledge, our technique and that desire to put a viable project in front of our panels. It is a truly hands-on experience and I wish it on every interior architecture or Design d'Espace student. »
Argan Martinez, ESDAC Marseille alumnus, Design d'Espace et Architecture d'intérieur, class of 2024-2025
« My aim is to give students a concrete picture of what the profession expects. Professionals know exactly what they are looking for, and it is essential that students have that lightbulb moment: understanding how to develop a project in a well-judged, structured way.
I place great importance on exchange, offering different approaches to broaden their skill set and open up as many opportunities as possible. The strength of our teaching also lies in the fact that most of our tutors are working professionals: we know exactly where to guide students so they can become the designers they want to be. »
