Université Paris-Dauphine - PSL, École des Arts Décoratifs - PSL and Mines Paris - PSL co-organize the program.

The multidisciplinary teaching team is drawn from these institutions, other academic institutions, and the artistic and professional world.

Each year, the program is presented during the open days of Ecole des Arts Décoratifs - PSL at the end of January (on-site and online), and during the Université Paris Dauphine - PSL Masters Day at the beginning of February (online). Open days are an opportunity to talk with the teaching staff and students.

We also answer your questions at enamoma@psl.eu.  

Courses are mainly taught in the ENAMOMA-PSL workshop housed in the (26 rue du Faubourg Saint Jacques 75014 Paris), where students can work individually and collectively on their projects. Courses also take place on the campus of Paris Dauphine, Ecole des arts décoratifs, and Mines Paris.

In addition to the , students have access to a and specialized (knitting, weaving, clothing, textile printing, screen printing, scenography, wood, engraving, metal, robotics, animation, photography, audio-video, ceramics, morphostructure, models, pre-press, etc.). The course also draws on the network of , depending on the needs of each project.

This is a PSL University diploma conferring the grade of Master (state-controlled – ).

Only one track is available to Master 1 applicants: the “Creation” pathway, which allows students to follow all the training blocks over two years. This pathway is open only to fashion or textile and materials design students.

For Master 2 applicants, there are two possible tracks, depending on the student's background and project: “Explorations” (blocks 0+1+2+3) or “Transformations” (blocks 0+1+5).

All students entering the program take Block 0, which introduces them to the fundamentals of management, fashion and materials, and Block 1, which develops their eco-design skills.  Then in semester 2, they can either:

• Develop their understanding of innovation methods and dynamics and work on exploratory projects, one of their choice and another one in partnership with an organization (blocks 2 and 3)
   
• Or develop a creative project (block 5).

For eligible candidates, the choice of track may be discussed during admission interviews with the teaching team (and modified if necessary).

Students enrolled in full-time study have free time on most Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, which they can devote to a variety of objectives: deepening their personal work and creative practice, developing an entrepreneurial or research project, taking courses in other PSL programs in various disciplines (depending on calendars and seats available), freelancing or having a student job.

Apprenticeship enables students to benefit from professional immersion within an organization for one or two years. Apprentices spend 2 days a week at the university as well as several weeks of intensive training spread over the year. Depending on the track, they also spend 2 to 6 months working full-time in a company. Enrolment fees are paid by the professional branch, and apprentices are paid a percentage of the minimum wage, depending on their age, apprenticeship experience, and degree. It's a demanding and stimulating scheme for the apprentice, who commits to investing as much in his or her academic training as in working for the employer.

Yes, students enrolled full-time can benefit from an internship agreement during their Master 2, running from the beginning of June to the end of November, without having to re-register.

Each year, the course starts at the beginning of September and ends the following year in mid-September with the exhibition of all the students’ projects.

Students with a background in organizational science or science and engineering can apply for the Master 2 without any prior training in clothing or textile design. An introductory course is offered at the beginning of the year to familiarize students with the essential vocabulary and gestures. Interested students can pursue this freely by working with the ENAMOMA-PSL workshop manager.

However, this training for non-design specialists does not aim to develop dual expertise. The master’s degree enables students to acquire the foundations of knowledge and reflection in areas outside their initial field of expertise, so they can grasp the issues at stake by crossing disciplines. Each student comes into the program with his or her expertise, which he or she maintains, enhances, and transforms throughout the course, in contact with other students and the multi-disciplinary teaching team.

Holders of a bachelor's degree obtained during a 3- or 4-year course in France or abroad have the equivalent of a Bachelor’s level. This diploma can be used to apply for Master 1 only.

To apply for a Master 2 degree, you need a Master 1 or equivalent.

No. The profiles eligible for the Master 2 are very diverse (design, organizational sciences, science and engineering), but the Master 1 is only open to students with a Bachelor’s level in clothing or textile design.
