Master Design

At Université de Lorraine, the tuition fee is 285 USD per year.

Université de Lorraine offers the Master Design in Nancy, France, a two-year graduate program taught in French. Design as a field of study covers the process of conceiving and developing products, spaces, or visual communications that address functional and aesthetic needs, spanning areas such as product design, graphic and communication design, spatial or interior design, and increasingly digital and service design. Students typically study design methodology and the creative process, from research and concept development through prototyping and evaluation, alongside technical skills in drawing, modeling, and design software. Coursework often includes the study of design history and theory, materials and manufacturing processes relevant to product design, and the social and cultural dimensions of design practice, including questions of usability, sustainability, and user experience. Because design work usually involves presenting and defending creative choices, students also build skills in visual communication and project presentation. Graduates from design programs commonly pursue careers as product designers, graphic or communication designers, design researchers, or roles in design consultancies, manufacturing companies, and cultural or media organizations that need visual and product design expertise. Some continue toward independent design practice or further specialization. The program is delivered entirely in French, so applicants should have solid French-language proficiency. It is scheduled to begin in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Nancy, in the Lorraine region of northeastern France, is known for its design and applied arts tradition, providing context for this kind of training.
