The DESS (graduate diploma) in design and entrepreneurship, offered jointly by École de Technologie Supérieure and École de Design Nantes Atlantique, is aimed at practising design professionals who want to deepen their strategic design expertise and build entrepreneurial skills. The 30-credit, full-time programme alternates two-week blocks of coursework with two-week professional internships, and is normally completed in about eighteen months. Its curriculum combines four mandatory workshops, two courses, three professional intervention projects carried out with industry and innovation partners, four design workshops, and a three-part capstone project. Instruction is in French, with optional TOEIC preparation workshops available given the programme's industry interactions. The programme suits holders of a bachelor's degree in design or a related field, as well as professionals with equivalent experience, who want hands-on, project-based training that links design practice with business creation and innovation.
