Fri 12 Apr 2024

Cambridge Education Group is partnering with Galileo Global Education, a world leader in independent higher education.

ONCAMPUS Paris is launching a new International Foundation Programme in Art and Design in partnership with Galileo Global Education France. This exciting new partnership will see LISAA School of Art and Design, the biggest design school in France, as well as Atelier Chardon Savard, Istituto Marangoni, and IESA join Cambridge Education Group’s portfolio of university partners across the UK and Europe.

The three-term foundation programme will allow creative international students to develop their art and design skills with ONCAMPUS Paris before progressing to a range of high-quality undergraduate degrees at these institutions, expanding on the pre-existing ONCAMPUS Paris Business, Economics, Finance and Management pathway in partnership with KEDGE Business School.

With 40 years of experience in teaching Fashion, Graphic design, Interior design, Animation, and Gaming, LISAA is one of the few schools recognised by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. It is reputed among professionals, being a member of SNJV, RECA, FDE and recognised by UNAID. The curriculum emphasises practical, hands-on experience to ensure students are well-prepared for the challenges of the creative industry, as demonstrated by courses that are led by active professionals.

Upon successful completion of the International Foundation Programme, ONCAMPUS Paris students will be able to progress to one of several excellent creative departments: LISAA Mode (fashion), LISAA Graphic Design, LISAA Architecture / Design, LISAA Animation & Game.

Atelier Chardon Savard is one of Paris’ most prestigious fashion and design schools where students benefit not just from teaching that encourages creativity, but also internships and links with industry that allow students record placements with designers as they study. The school guides students to develop original, professional projects and present their talents to the right audience.

With more than 4,000 students from over 100 countries joining each year, Istituto Marangoni offers an international learning environment across its wide range of degrees offered in fashion, art, and design. The school’s international alumni community offers an extensive network of support and links to industry. Istituto Marangoni is also affiliated with Domus Academy, a postgraduate design and fashion school in Milan, and NABA, the largest Academy of Fine Arts in Italy.

IESA Arts and Culture and IESA Multimedia provide a multicultural learning environment with a focus on professionalisation. Courses are designed to allow students to experience practical training, and there are also internship opportunities for students to build professional networks early in their programs.

Brendan Webb, CEO, Commercial of Cambridge Education Group said:

“To accommodate growing demand, ONCAMPUS Paris is set to include progression routes to leading European universities in art, design and fashion. The city needs no introduction as one of the world’s cultural and artistic superpowers, and we are so excited to be able to welcome the creative talent that Paris loves to nurture. Options include Fashion-related business and marketing programmes such as Luxury Brand Management for those interested in the commercial side of the sector. The programmes are the perfect springboard for the innovators of tomorrow looking for internships in high end global brands leading to a career in one of the world’s major fashion capitals.”
