What is "Le Diplôme de design Bac +5"?
The "Diplôme de design Bac +5" is based on a five-year curriculum, divided into two cycles : 3-year bachelor cycle and a 2-year master’s cycle (MDes).
The school offers programs taught in English at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Throughout the five-year curriculum, the school prepares students to experiment, to fail and to start again, to discover the different design professions, to develop their ability to manage a global project, to acquire project management skills around socio-economic themes.
This diploma allows students to acquire a first international experience, and the recognition of the diploma offers interesting career development prospects in the short and medium term.
A truly recognized diploma
L’École de design Nantes Atlantique is one of the very few design schools to have obtained certification from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research for its Master’s degree in design. The certification was renewed in 2010 and 2016. This degree is also registered in the Registre National des Certifications Professionnelles (the French directory for vocational qualifications or RNCP) as a Level I Master’s degree.
In 2021, L’École de design Nantes Atlantique became the first and only private design school in France to be awarded the "Grade de Master" from the French Ministry of higher Education and Research.
A certified degree is equivalent to a university master’s programs in France or abroad. It also allows students to receive equivalency credentials for foreign qualifications. In the international sphere, this quality certification gives a school the credibility needed to conclude cooperation agreements with top international universities.
