a truLy internationaL ProgramThe International Class has been bringing together students of different design backgrounds and nationalities since 2001. Both French and foreign students follow cross-disciplinary design courses for a semester or a full year.

Students from all over the world who have completed a minimum of two years in spatial,interior, product, visual communications or graphic design are eligible to apply (see page 33 “How to apply” for more information). The full course is equivalent to the third (last year) of Bachelor’s level studies.

Students having successfully completed this undergraduate program may continue their studies at a postgraduate level in one of our MDes programs.

Each academic year, the International Class welcomes approximately 30 French students and 30 foreign students of different nationalities at the same time.

All classes and workshops are conducted in English. Therefore a basic command of this language is recommended.

a unique aPProachStudents are organized into one of three project groups: “Industrial Products” for industrial and product design students, “Brand Design” for product design and graphic design students and “Global Design” for spatial design, interior design or product design students.

industriaL Products For students with a background in industrial or product designA wide array of tools used in industry must be used to create products and services that are centered on the users, their environment and their expectations. This way the designer can use his/her know-how to help companies design and manufacture products that take into account the needs and aspirations of their users.

brand design For students with a background in product or industrial design, graphic design or visual communicationIt is essential to consider the brand values when designing communication tools, a new generation of products, a packaging range or an exhibition stand. The role of the designer is to bring out the codes and the brand values throughout the production process by researching the formal or graphic vocabulary, materials and mediums which best represent the brand. The designer also has to take into account user-experience in terms of the brand, the competition and the technology involved.

gLobaL design For students with a background in spatial design, interior design or product designGlobal Design aims to explore the relationship between the interior and exterior spaces and the services resulting from all new human activities (commercial or otherwise).

This program involves: – Training versatile designers with operational and managerial knowledge in objects design, architectural design and urban design;

– Gaining basic knowledge and a methodology specific to environmental design, service design, global design and retail design.

digitaL cuLture / mdes information design

The evolution in the quantity and diversity of information available, especially since the advent of Web 2.0, implies the necessity for methods and tools to facilitate further evolution in the information technology environment. The goal of information design is to study graphic representations, statistics and dynamics in order to better comprehend often imperceptible and complex phenomena. It uses principles resulting from studies carried out in visual identity, and more particularly in graphic semiotics, signage and cartographic representations of information.Evolution in digital technologies makes it possible to integrate information design with raw data shaped by means of interactive applications and adapted for use in a wide range of contexts.

Network users, who are becoming far more numerous and active, expect easily assimilated information and a clear, simple and rapidly accessible outline of services provided.

International initiatives with respect to open data, increase the need for enhanced information design skills. Its use by companies and institutions favors an ascending innovation process with respect to design of services: by allowing for example a better organization of life in the city through real time visualization of energy consumption

or by facilitating access to and use of public transport, or even by optimizing the activity of production zones through graphic representation of the circulation of raw materials and industrial products.

As information technology is becoming increasingly popular and keeps expanding over our material environment, the ways human beings interact with information systems reach way beyond the oppositions between real and virtual, hardware and software. In a world where connected devices are omnipresent, the wide range of available uses pushes designers to invent new interface scenarios to make sure “ambient computing” produces user-centered technologies.

sustainabLe cities / mdes mutations of the buiLt environment

Due to the current evolution in urban lifestyles, it has become evident that we need to build a “sustainable city”, bringing about a transformation in the design of housing, public spaces and business premises. At the intersection of environmental, economic and social issues, the designers, with their in-depth knowledge of practical uses, are now the central figures in the implementation of 21st century cities. From the environment to furniture, from information technology to visual identity, all the various design professions are involved in this transformation of our built environment.The program includes courses like project management (territorial contexts and issues, social issues related to the sustainable city, identity...) and design techniques focusing on the user (civic participation, representations, user-centered design / design for all, regulations, eco-design...).

sustainabLe cities / mdes urban design

Cities are rapidly changing: new means of travel, new products and new forms of energy are emerging. The city gets more than ever in motion and raises new issues for the design of public spaces: it has to be multimodal, hyper-connected and accessible to everyone.New services emerge, new needs arise, the city is redesigned, living spaces are transformed, and habits change.

research grouP: mobiLity and servicesA reflection on tomorrow’s mobility, as we imagine the urban means of transportation and the impact on the architecture and amenities of the city. A city without cars, a change in travel means for disabled people... many themes that allow the designer to question the uses in order to transform spaces and give rise to new habits.

areas of aPPLicationEquipments and vehicles carrying goods and people, mobility assistance services and alternative travel means, mobile information systems, infrastructure improvments and circulation areas, urban furnitures, responsive architecture.

research grouP: PubLic sPacesThe concept of public spaces associated with collective social practices needs to be redefined in the context of connected societies. Beyond the legal status of ownership, the existence and functioning of public spaces in the city are a social and political issue. The public spaces are an essential model of urbanity in which designers need to participate.

Urban design allows to boost these urban environments by strengthening their identity, understanding, functioning and use.

new eating habits / mdes food design

Public health challenges, as well as high geopolitical and environmental stakes, are leading to an evolution in contemporary eating habits. Reconciling well-being, pleasure and appeal with the demands of responsible mass-production and the ever-diversifying dietary practices requires an in-depth exploration of food systems, including production, distribution, preparation and tasting.

The Food Design master program offers a multidisciplinary approach of innovation through design oriented towards the users and the identity. The pedagogy takes place within the New Eating Habits Design Lab, an innovation center developing projects with industrial partners and making experiments.

internationaL exchanges

exchange ProgramThis program allows foreign students to complete, for their respective schools, an equivalent of 3rd year level studies over one semester within the International Class (see page 10 for more information about the course outline). After this program, students may apply to continue their studies at the postgraduate level at L’École de design.

Each academic year, the International Class welcomes approximately 60 international students of various nationalities. Students are organized into one of three project groups – Industrial Products for industrial and product design students

– Brand Design for product design and graphic design students

– Global design for spatial design, interior design and product design students.

All classes and workshops are conducted in English. Therefore a basic command of this language is recommended. International students participate in classes alongside French students.

All student exchanges are based on bilateral agreements between partner institutions.As L’École de design Nantes Atlantique is part of the European Community action program ERASMUS+, any prospective international student from a European Community member-state is required to get in touch with the Erasmus coordinator at their sending institution before mailing their application materials.

ects: euroPean credit transfer system

L’École de design Nantes Atlantique has implemented the European ECTS (EuropeanCredit Transfer System) to ensure the academic recognition of studies abroad.

It provides a way of measuring and comparing learning achievements and transferring them from one institution to another. ECTS credits are distributed on different teaching units in proportion to the work they require. It has been assigned to each unit a number of ECTS credits on the basis of 60 credits for an academic year.

Students from schools which do not hold an exchange agreement with L’École de design can still join the International Class for one semester or a full year, but will be considered as full fledged students of L’École de design.

PreParing your stay

student visastudents of the euroPean communityStudents of European Union countries only require an identity card / passport to study in France.

citizens of non-euroPean community countriesBefore coming to FranceStudents staying more than three months in France will need to obtain a long-termstudent visa before arrival. The visa application form must be requested directly with the French consular services in the student’s country of residence or the local CampusFrance agency at least 3 months before departure.

Required documents for visa application – Valid passport – Proof of your admission or pre-enrolment at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique (you can submit the official letter of acceptance sent by the school)

– Proof of a monthly income of 615 € minimum

– Proof of your accommodation in France

After coming to FranceUpon your arrival in France, the French Immigration Office (OFII) will ask you to complete an application form that you will have previously received along with your visa.

European Union or European Economic Area students and citizens from Andorra,Monaco, San Marino, Switzerland or the Vatican do not need a visa.

heaLthcare insurancecitizens of non-euroPean community countriesFrench healthcare coverage is mandatoy for non-European students. Provided under thesocial security system, it is of very high quality. Covered individuals are reimbursed for a portion of their medical expenses in return for a low basic payment. For students, that payment was 213 € in 2014. You will subscribe to the healthcare coverage at the beginning of the academic year and the school will help you with this procedure.

students of the euroPean communityStudents from countries in the European Economic Area are exempted from participation as long as they hold either a European health insurance card (or temporary certificate) valid for the entire academic year or a certificate of private insurance providing full coverage for medical risks without restrictions related to cost.The social security system reimburses about 60% of expenses related to an illness, on average.

for aLL studentsOperating alongside this mandatory national system, supplemental group health plans (with annual premiums starting at 110 €) allow students to obtain coverage for all or part of the expenses not covered by the basic national plan.

To participate in the national student health-care system, students must be under 28 years of age and enrolled in a program of at least 4 months duration.Students over age 28 may benefit under certain conditions from the system of universal medical coverage (CMU, Couverture Médicale Universelle), for which they must pay a special annual premium.
