In the first quarter of 2019, a focus* has been done on the placement of the 2017 graduating class. Here are the figures to remember.
The end of studies internship (pre-integration internship in their 2nd year of master) is critical since over 50% of 2017 graduates are hired by the company in which they did their internship.
International careers: a constant trend
25% of our young graduates from 2017 are pursuing international careers. They have headed for 14 destinations: the United States, China, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland, Mexico, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
This openness to the international market can be explained by several factors: the opportunity to study MDes Transcultural Design in China, India, Canada, Brazil, the obligation for students in their MDes program first year to follow a semester or an internship abroad in a foreign company or agency.
