The India Campus of L’École de design Nantes Atlantique settled in Bangalore (Karnataka, India) in 2010, partnering with Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology. The school is reinforcing its current presence in India for the development of the Transcultural Design Master’s Program.
The Bangalore Campus of L’École de design Nantes Atlantique is integrated into the popular Yelahanka campus of Srishti School of Art, Design, and Technology. Bangalore, renowned eastern IT hub, has attracted numerous internationals creating the ideal environment for us to set our school in. The number of students is constantly rising.
As a hosted institution inside the well-connected and eclectic Srishti School of Art, Design, and Technology, L’École de design Nantes Atlantique’s operations benefit from a friendly relationship with the institution’s staff and the amenities it provides, as well as immersion in an unusual Indian campus setting, well-known for its creative atmosphere.
Lecturers of various backgrounds and nationalities come directly from the India design scene to teach courses of the Master degree curriculum in Transcultural Design, and serve as jurors. There are lecturers from the areas of product design, communication design, interaction design, interior design, and graphic design. Permanent staff is Course Director Kshitiz Anand and Dean, Chris Ebbert. Approximately 5 industry professionals are teaching, delivering lectures, supervising student work, and performing juror duty at the school for a roll of about 20 students. This number is expected to rise to around 30 students in 2013.
Local partner companies provide opportunity for internships, and cooperate with the school to provide live projects. Internship opportunities in Bangalore and other large cities in India abound, particularly for foreign design students. Studying at L’École de design Nantes Atlantique’s Bangalore Campus requires initiative and an interest in a country rich in history, full of fascinating aspects that shape everyday reality. India’s growing economy and high demand for design professionals offer vast capacities to accommodate young designers during and after their studies. The city offers very affordable luxurious housing and living arrangements by European standards as well as an intense and manifold cultural experience.
