About PSA
The Paris School is the first new independent school of architecture created in Paris in over a century, developed in response to the radical changes over the last decade, and the changing nature of architectural practice today.
OVERVIEW
Located in the centre of Paris, the school is positioned at the heart of Europe in one of the world’s most iconic international cities. Continuing this international focus, our programme ofstudy prepares graduates to be leaders in the fields of architecture, construction, philosophy, journalism, emerging technologies, and the arts.
The Paris School of Architecture equips its graduates with the artistic, philosophical, intellectual and technical skills required by industry to produce exceptional future professionals. Set in the centre of Paris, informed by the European design and construction world, with Master Classes provided by a faculty of leaders in the creative industries from all over the world, the School is deliberately international; producing the next generation of global architectural practitioners.
ABOUT US
The Paris School offers a new pedagogical structure, combining core architectural components with emerging professional and intellectual requirements, better preparing its graduates for work in practice, establishing their own practices, or work in related fields. Each tutor at the PSA is also active in practice, so that we retain our strong connection to industry.
A EUROPEAN SCHOOL
The school was founded by practitioners in Paris who work around Europe, and who have either taught or graduated from the schools in Europe and the US.
In addition, the school places importance on the study of architectural, artistic, philosophical, legal and construction methodologies pertinent to different jurisdictions to allow graduates to work seamlessly across Europe and the world. This cultural exchange promotes and reinforces the international focus of the school and its pedagogy.
A NEW SCHOOL
In development since 2016 the Paris School offers a single post-graduate course in Architecture. The school is also completing the process of registration with Répertoire national des certifications professionnelles who accredit private educational institutions in France.
Our cohort of students form a critical part of our course development, with a student council with the opportunity to propose additional subjects as technologies and cultures evolve, develop exchange relationships with other institutions, and meet with the school's leadership, the Academic Council.
OPEN DAY
An open day will be held on Friday 26th April 2024, for those interested in applying for the 2024/25 academic year.
