Shanghai University hosts the students and members of the Transcultural Design China post-graduate program in its studios, workshops and offices. In exchange, the school is committed to organizing shared projects (brainstorming sessions and workshops with Chinese instructors and students, teacher-training, etc.) in Shanghai and Nantes.

The two-year Master’s program, Transcultural Design China, has been hosting both French and non-French design students since 2008. Today, it boasts 60 students spread out over two classes with four permanent faculty. The signing of this new agreement is a major step toward furthering relations and cooperation with Shanghai University, and strengthens the position of L’École de design in China.
