Master in DPEA

The DPEA program at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux is designed for aspiring architects, landscape designers, and urban planners. This one-year master's program focuses on transcultural project practices in the context of globalization. It is ideal for students who are eager to engage with diverse cultures and environments, preparing them for international careers in design and planning.

Students in the DPEA program will explore theoretical frameworks and practical applications through three distinct phases. The first phase involves theoretical reflection on contemporary environments in Europe and emerging countries. The second phase includes hands-on fieldwork in partnership with local universities and stakeholders in three laboratory territories: Thailand, Latin America, and Africa. The final phase encourages critical reflection on these experiences, helping students develop a nuanced understanding of cultural hybridization in project design.

Graduates of the DPEA program can pursue various career paths, including roles as project architects, urban planners, landscape architects, and design consultants. They may find employment with international design firms, governmental organizations, or NGOs focused on sustainable development. The skills acquired in this program are transferable across industries, equipping graduates to adapt to various professional contexts.
