A STATE-REGISTERED DOUBLE QUALIFICATION*

LISAA course validates two fields of expertise, in interior architecture and in design, with a state-registrered* level 7 qualification.

The Interior Architecture & Design course takes place over 5 years or 4 years after a foundation year (MANAA). It offers a specialisation in interior architecture & global design, interior architecture & service design or interior architecture & connected design from the 4th year on. It allows to complete a non accredited LISAA school bachelor at the end of the 3rd year. Students can enter in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th year.

A COURSE RECOGNISED BY THE PROFESSIONALS

Thanks to numerous partnerships with companies in the industry, and a teaching staff made up of architecture and design professionals, LISAA is widely renowned, notably by the Ministry of Culture and Communications and also by UNAID (French National Union of Interior Architecture Designers).

Course also available in Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg, Bordeaux and Montpellier.

* The IDAA-LISAA professional certification "Interior Architect/Designer" is being renewed at level 7 by France Compétences. Any registered person will be able to obtain the certification when registering in accordance with the set procedures.
