Admissions to the Charpentier Academy
Students can enroll at the Académie Charpentier in the first year—as part of a preparatory program for entrance exams to public schools of architecture or applied arts—or in a higher year if they have prior training.
Admission to the first year of the interior design program.
Admission to the first year of the program leading to the interior design degree—a Level 7 RNCP qualification recognized by the government—is based on an interview.
The purpose of this interview is to assess the candidate’s motivation to undertake a demanding program of study leading to a highly prestigious degree that is recognized by the government and the French Council of Interior Architects, and which is highly regarded by the professional community in which our many alumni are active.
It also allows us to assess each candidate’s artistic sensibility.
