École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, ENSCI Les Ateliers

Founded in 1982, ENSCI-Les Ateliers is jointly governed by the Ministries of Culture and Industry. The School offers advanced study, consultancy and research in all aspects of contemporary design practice.

Each year 50 students are selected for integrated master study tracks of 5, 4 or 3 years, depending on previous qualifications and experience. Our degree is recognised at level 1 of the national register of professional certification.

Les Ateliers is recognised for its innovative approach to design education, based on diversity of student profiles, individualised programming and project-based learning. Academic study is balanced with professional experience and the study platform allows each student to develop his / her own profile, vision and field of practice. 

Students gain experience in applying design intelligence to a range of socio-economic and cultural contexts and are exposed to a constantly evolving range of design fields and projects. 

Les Ateliers is located in historic premises near the Bastille - once home to the workshops of the decorator Jansen - and is open 24 hours a day all year round. Visit us at 48 rue Saint Sabin, 75011 Paris.
