Máster en Estrategia Internacional de Diseño / Le Studio Montréal

A postgraduate program in two years specialized in International design Strategy, a single master’s degree in design

This program is only open to students who validate their undergraduate studies at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique.

This Master program leads to the master’s level degree (Diplôme de design) certified by the French Ministry of Higher Education.

The goal of this program is to immerse students in the world of technology entrepreneurship in order to understand its workings and particularities. Students are hosted in North American incubators and work in an international context.

This French-language Master is deliberately professional and is halfway between a work-study program and academic training: students are integrated into start-ups. With this international professional experience, students will then have the opportunity to complete their final internship in Canada or anywhere in the world.

Program in partnership with Centech.
