The Bachelor of Architecture and Urbanism at ENSA Nantes (Mauritius) is a three-year fundamental degree in the professional fields of architecture, design and spatial design. This is an intermediate level of training that provides access to the Masters of Architecture and Urbanism and other postgraduate degrees in the field of construction, urban planning and land use planning.

This degree aims to train future designers capable of responding to specific situations and challenges by developing architectural skills. The proposed modules focus on architecture and urban planning and are provided by highly qualified local and international tutors. The program also enables the development of cross-cutting skills by working as a team around multidisciplinary projects and in an intercultural context, implementing a simple scientific approach and being bilingual in a professional situation.

Admissions to first year is open to holders of the Baccalaureate or equivalent qualification.

The Masters of Architecture and Urbanism is an advanced two-year degree and leads to the ‘diplome d’état d’architecte’ (DEA) which confers the master’s degree. It allows the student to master critical thinking in relation to architectural issues, to independently master the design of an architectural project by deepening of the fundamental concepts, methods and knowledge. It aims at the critical understanding of construction processes in their relationships to different contexts and scales, in reference to different uses, techniques and temporalities. This cycle also allows the student to prepare for the different modes of practice and professional fields of architecture as well as research in architecture.

In addition to design, the holder of a DEA degree can access the functions of consultancy, project management assistance, technical studies, urban planning and development.
