Workshops & exchanges
Learning on the move.
Milan, Shanghai, São Paulo, Cotonou: the school sends students to work where design happens.
Every year, CAD organises several intensive workshops abroad: 1 to 3 weeks, hosted by partner schools or as part of major professional events.
Workshops are integrated into the curriculum (ECTS-validated) and co-funded by the school. They are mandatory for some programs (Furniture & Product Design in Milan, for instance) and optional for others.
Beyond workshops, students can do an internship abroad validated for their program.
