Questions to ask yourself before the JPO
Profiles sought by ENSA Normandie following the reform of the bac?
Architecture is a multi-disciplinary field that integrates engineering sciences, visual arts, spatial design, history, sociology, geography and theory. Ensa Normandie's recruitment strategy aims to create classes of students with excellent and varied academic backgrounds, enabling strong interaction between students throughout their training. Eligibility is calculated without any subject coefficients, giving all backgrounds the same chances of integration.
ENSA Normandie advises on the choice of specializations as follows:
- choose subjects in which the student is comfortable and will have good grades
- choose subjects that reflect a particular curiosity, an interest in a particular science or culture, or that raise questions about society, how it works and its history, thus broadening your general knowledge.
Architectural training demands rigor and creativity. All the subjects that contribute to it are relevant and help shape the future architect.
