What to do after the DNMADe?

Through the internships and year projects, students will have the opportunity to open up and discover several trades or sectors of activity in which their skills are expected at the end of their studies. We are very keen to support each student in his or her professional project: whether it is continuing training or starting work directly.

Continuation of studies

Following a DNMADe Social Innovation, students who wish to further their education and study in the same field have various opportunities:

  • Competitive exams to join higher education establishments (Example: Decorative Arts of Paris, Strasbourg, HEAD of Geneva, or ENSCI of Paris.)
  • Professional or research master’s degree at the university.
  • DNSEP (national diplomas of plastic expression) in an Art School.
  • MEEF Master’s degree in Applied Arts to become a teacher.
  • Specialized Design Schools, in France or abroad.


Each student will be supported in his choice of study. Throughout the year, they will have completed many concrete projects to present to support his project.
