Where Do We Stand in the World of Higher Education?
Publishing a research journal, redefining the postgraduate curriculum with a focus on contemporary social and economic issues, organizing symposiums, etc. Here’s a detailed overview of our research-oriented objectives and actions…
An article written by Jocelyne Le Boeuf.
Our will to evolve curriculums stems from a project-grounded method, a will to knit close ties between all higher education institutions (universities, private institutes, etc.) and to go global: basically the guidelines advocated by the PRES (Pôle de Research et d’Enseignement Supérieur) Université Nantes-Angers-Le Mans which our school has been a member of since November 2009.
The Main Lines of our development
A widespread academic & industrial network
Because it has been has acted in the academic scene for many years our school has become proficient in setting up projects with companies and business clusters. We have also widely developed our international activities. In 2007 – Christian Guellerin, Managing Director – was elected President of Cumulus, a worldwide network that gathers 140 institutions of art, design and media. A subsidiary was opened in Qingdao, China, for more than 2 years and a new one is about to be launched in Bangalore, India in September 2010 with Srishti School of Art and Design.
Topic-oriented programs rooted in social and economic issues
To enhance and strengthen our postgraduate curriculum we created new topic-oriented Master’s programs with a focus on social and economic issues or on a specific field of application. Our aim is to foster a human-centered, ethically responsible kind of design in tune with the ongoing economic globalization.

Training designers-managers
Our school proudly aims to do away with the educational patterns that prevail in applied arts without rejecting their founding principles in doing so, and to implement courses that train designers for leadership and management careers by teaching them high-level skills – both theoretical and practical – and an expertise in one of the available topics.
