The Interior Architect & Global Design course prepares you to become professionals in interior architecture and design. After three years of general training, it will allow you to specialise in interior architecture and global design and to approach design in a transversal way with a holistic vision of the project which includes: space design, product and packaging design, visual identity of the brand, digital interfaces, and points of sale.

Presentation of the course

WHAT SKILLS WILL YOU ACQUIRE?

At the end of the course, students will be able to meet a client's request for a global design project, i.e. to conceive and direct the production of an interior architecture and/or design project by mastering all the elements that make up a project: space, furniture, product and packaging, service, interfaces, brand, digital communication. Graduates are thus able to :

  • Develop an interior architecture and design programme by analysing the client's request and taking into account all the constraints inherent in the project.
  • Design a research file and conceptual proposals and then validate an interior architecture and design project with the client.
  • Manage the implementation of an interior architecture and design project and the activities of the selected service providers and suppliers.

ACQUISITION OF CROSS-DISCIPLINARY SKILLS

The specialisation in global design enables students to master large-scale projects by taking into account all their components: interior architecture, graphic design, product design, packaging and digital interface. The specialisation also enables students to acquire skills in project management, team management, experiential marketing and digital. The projects proposed to students are carried out in partnership with companies and must meet the needs expressed by the company.

This skill in global design is particularly relevant in the field of retail and commercial architecture because it enables a project to be designed with respect to the overall coherence of the brand.

As part of the redevelopment of a sales area, the interior designer-architect rethinks the space, the layout, the circulation, designs the furniture and also intervenes in the visual identity of the place, the services offered to customers, and the related elements that serve the concept that he or she has defined.

HOW DOES THE MASTER'S DEGREE IN INTERIOR DESIGN & GLOBAL DESIGN AT LISAA PARIS WORK?

The LISAA Paris Interior Architect & Global Designer title is obtained after 5 years of training (3+2):

  • The first 3 years of the LISAA curriculum are general and lead to a Bachelor's degree.
  • It is in the 4th year / 1st year of the master's degree that the global design focus begins.
  • The 5th year can be done on a sandwich course.

The course is available in French or English.

Compulsory internships will take place during the 3rd and 4th years. However, it is possible (and encouraged) to do internships in the 1st or 2nd year. This course, which delivers a level 7 qualification, prepares you to enter the job market.

SUPPORT FOR PROFESSIONALIZATION

LISAA Paris Interior Architecture & Design has set up a solid programme to support students in their professionalization. Students are monitored individually by the person in charge of professionalization, a member of the school's supervisory team, who helps them find their internships and work-study contracts.

The support takes several forms: individual meetings with each student to help them specify their professional project and professionalization workshops/courses from the 3rd year onwards where students learn how to create their LinkedIn profile, write their CV and cover letter, improve their diction with the Cours Florent (workshop on public speaking), source and respond to a job offer, etc. Coaching, interview simulations and job-dating are also offered to 4th year students in their search for a professional contract or apprenticeship within the framework of work-study.

94.6% of work-study students are on an apprenticeship contract and 5.4% on a professionalization contract.

FOR WHICH PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION?

The Interior Architecture & Design course at LISAA Paris validates two areas of competence, in interior architecture and design. The Institut Développement Arts Appliqués professional certification "Interior Architect/Designer" has been 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.

What is global design? Global design is a very specific approach: the designer thinks about a project in its entirety (space, furniture, product and packaging, service, interfaces, brand, digital communication, etc.). Design approached in a transversal manner allows for a very coherent solution.

This competence in global design is particularly relevant in the field of retail and commercial architecture because it enables a project to be designed with respect to the overall coherence of the brand.

In the context of the redevelopment of a hotel, the interior designer-architect rethinks the space, the layout, the circulation, designs the furniture and also intervenes in the visual identity of the place, the services offered to the clients, and the related elements that serve the concept that he has defined.

LISAA's teaching methods are geared towards the student's progress for a successful professional integration. To achieve this, it uses a variety of methods:

  • A project-based teaching method: individual or group work on real cases proposed by a partner company or representative cases. The student presents his project report orally and in writing, accompanied by visuals and models. His or her presentation is evaluated by the trainers and or professionals from the partner company.
  • Training led by teachers who are working professionals and experts in their field.
  • Individual pedagogical follow-up allowing each student to situate him/herself in his/her progress towards the acquisition of skills and to prepare his/her project and professional integration. As part of the work-study programme, students benefit from support modules to help them find a company to sign a professional or apprenticeship contract.
  • As part of the work-study programme, students benefit from support modules to help them find a company to sign a professional or apprenticeship contract.
  • Meetings and conferences led by former students and professionals are organised at the school.
  • Internship periods are integrated into the training to allow students to develop their skills in the field.

Students are assessed throughout the course:

  • Assessments are made on a continuous basis throughout the school year: all the subjects taught are assessed in the form of files, oral presentations, MCQs, etc.
  • End-of-semester assessments are used to evaluate the student's progress and to validate the semester and the passage to the next year.

The assessment for graduation includes the following elements:

  • Role-playing exercises that put the student in a situation of active listening and exchange with the client, enabling the student's negotiation skills to be assessed.
  • An oral presentation of the project file (30 to 40 minutes)
  • The student presents his/her project with the file worked on during the year of training, before a jury composed of professionals from outside the school. The jury will assess the student's professional attitude and the quality of the project in its visual presentation, its feasibility, its realism and its risk-taking...
  • Several case studies are proposed based on a real interior architecture or design project, putting the student in the position of project manager and allowing the evaluation of his or her ability to manage the realization of a project.
  • A report on experience and professional activity is presented, linked to the work placement or work-study programme.

The teaching team is made up of working architecture and design professionals. They are constantly updating the content of their courses to keep up with the evolution of the profession and the job market.

Acquiring professional expertise is not only a matter of assimilating theoretical knowledge, but also of confronting this knowledge in the field.

LISAA's teaching teams support students in their research for work experience, particularly through a large network of partner companies, but also through the alumni network and during speed-recruiting sessions for sandwich students.
