Bilingual Foundation year in applied Arts / Design

A bilingual foundation year

The market for design talent and professional opportunities for well-trained design students is truly global. At LISAA Strasbourg, we strongly believe that any part of a well-rounded Design education should include skills and confidence to express your ideas and work collaboratively in an English language environment.

Many of our students have a good basic knowledge of English, but have not had the opportunity to use or practice their language skills in such an environment.

That is why LISAA Strasbourg offers a bilingual (hybrid) programme for its Foundation year in applied arts & design.

THREE TEACHING AIMS

• To reveal the creativity of each student through the learning of fundamental techniques: drawing, colour, composition, volume, perspective and graphic design.
• To raise students’ awareness of artistic culture in order to bring them the curiosity and open-mindedness required for a qualitative and enduring education.
• To allow the student to find their place amongst the different design professions and therefore prepare and choose, in complete confidence, which specialisation to follow.

PREPARATION FOR COMPETITIVE EXAMS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION FINE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOLS

Upon completion of the Foundation year, each student will have acquired the necessary skills to apply for the competitive exams for national and international higher education schools (decorative arts, design…) or to join a bachelor course in applied arts.

LISAA Strasbourg, a bilingual environment

Bilingualism (FR/EN) continues in the following years in the Bachelors cycle with the majority of the teaching staff being bilingual.

Strategically placed in the center of Europe, LISAA Strasbourg encourages students to participate in immersive learning experiences through the Erasmus program and travel excursions. What better way to get started on your international design career !
