18 months at Strate - École de Design, starting from the 2nd semester of Master 1.

Master 1

Various workshops and theoretical courses are offered to provide students with the tools necessary for adopting the proper methodology for writing the Master 2 thesis. In addition to these workshops, a dozen core courses are offered, along with a selection of specialized courses related to the chosen field of study for each student. Finally, a one-week workshop/hackathon involving the entire Master 1 cohort is organized, with 1 theme to choose from 6 to 8 proposals.

Master 2

The first semester of Master 2 allows students to write their final thesis. Students choose a topic they are passionate about, one with high stakes/impact, and will conduct designer-related work around it (field research, interviews, observations, problem definition, etc.). In addition, elective courses are offered throughout the year, allowing students to give a unique touch to their curriculum.

The second semester of Master 2 focuses on transforming the thesis topic into a concrete project: the Final Project (PFE). This graduation project is presented at the end of the year before an independent jury of professionals from the design field and related industries. Finally, a one-week workshop/hackathon involving the entire Master 2 cohort is organized, with a theme to choose from 6 to 8 proposals.
