The Master's programme is a programme devoted to strengthening knowledge. It enables students to acquire various skills: to design an architectural and urban project independently, to grasp the complexity of contemporary processes (societal, economic, environmental), to structure their critical thinking based on an initiation to research and to the different modes of practice of architecture.

There are 3 areas of study:

  1. Experimentation
  2. Architecture of the city and territories
  3. Trans-Form, building with what exists

and three teaching units:

  1. EU1: Multidisciplinary project workshop
  2. EU2: Research and Exploration
  3. EU3: Common lessons

Organisation of teaching

The teaching during this 4-semester cycle is given in the form of courses, project supervision, tutorials and seminars. They include a practical training course, the preparation of a dissertation and a final project.

 

Organisation of semesters

In the master's program atENSA Normandie, students benefit from training mainly provided within the fields of study (DE). Together, the various DEs prepare students for the practice of architecture and introduce them to major contemporary issues. In addition, the DEs play a central role inENSA Normandie 's appealENSA Normandie the national and international level, in its regional roots, and in its integration into the higher education and research ecosystem. Each student chooses a DE when entering the master's program and follows all the courses over four semesters. An internship is included in the curriculum.

International

Architecture studies atENSA Normandie international experience. This can take the form of study abroad, an internship abroad, or professional experience abroad. This stay abroad is mandatory in order to validate the master's degree. Bachelor's degree students are encouraged to apply for international mobility.

Objective

The aim is to enable the student to master the essential concepts of the tools and methods of urban architectural design.
  • Master the tools, concepts and fundamental knowledge, particularly theoretical, scientific and technical, necessary for the shaping of the architectural project in an urban or landscape context, as well as for its implementation
  • Develop critical thinking about the issues specific to architecture at its different scales: building, city, territory
  • Conducting a complex architectural project with the support of an educational environment
  • To benefit from an initiation to study and research work, offering the opportunity to build a research mention to the State diploma of architect conferring the grade of Master, and in the eventuality of an orientation towards a third cycle of research

Validation mode

Skills and knowledge acquisition are assessed either by continuous assessment or by a final evaluation or examination, or by a combination of both.
The PFE (Project for the End of Studies) is a prerequisite for the ADE (Architecte Diplômé d'Etat) diploma.

Diploma

It leads to the State Diploma of Architecture, a national diploma of higher education, conferring the grade of Master.

 

Job opportunities

The state diploma provides a common basis for the pursuit of post-master's courses or entry into working life.
It prepares students for the different modes of practice and professional fields of architecture and for research in architecture. It also enables architects with a state diploma to move on to professional life or to become qualified to practice as project managers in their own right, or to obtain a doctorate in architecture, or to obtain other professional or research masters or specialisation and further study diplomas.

 

Conditions of access

Hold the Diploma of Studies in Architecture,
or have a French or foreign qualification that is exempt from or equivalent to this diploma, or benefit from the validation of studies, professional experience or personal achievements.
