Bachelor in Licence - Arts - Parcours Design

The Licence Arts — Parcours Design is a three-year bachelor-level programme at Nîmes Université in Nîmes, France, with instruction in French and a start date in September. Yearly tuition is 178 EUR. Design studies at the licence level develop students' capacity to conceive and produce objects, spaces, visual systems, or experiences that respond to functional, aesthetic, and social demands. Courses typically cover the history and theory of design, drawing and visual representation, colour theory, typography, materials, and the design process from brief to prototype. Students work across disciplines — including graphic design, product design, and spatial design — while building a critical understanding of design's cultural, economic, and ecological contexts. The programme develops both manual and digital production skills alongside conceptual and analytical abilities, ensuring that graduates can engage with design both as a practice and as a subject of critical enquiry. Studio work and project-based learning are central to design education, and students build a portfolio across the three years that demonstrates their range and development. Graduates may continue toward a master's in design, fine arts, or visual communication, or pursue careers in graphic design studios, product development, user-experience and interface design, advertising agencies, set design, spatial design, and design consultancy.
