The Architectural Institute Paris is an independent post-graduate (masters) architecture school based in central Paris.

The Architectural Institute Paris is composed of two schools:

  • the School of Architecture offers a two-year masters programme in architecture in central Paris.
  • the School of Interior Design offers a two-year masters programme in interior design in central Paris.

These programmes are for graduates of three or four year bachelor’s degrees in architecture and interior design.

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 of study prepares graduates to to enter in the fields of architecture, construction, philosophy, journalism, emerging technologies and the arts.

Paris is a truly global metropolis; a city that one might mention in the same series as London or New York and yet unlike those two cities remains quite culturally impenetrable to most visitors. The institute was founded to offer a route into discovering and living in the city of Paris, while providing the academic rigour and studio culture of a UK architecture post-graduate course.

The institute 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, the institute is informed by the British, American and European design and construction world. With key skills workshops provided by a faculty of leaders in the creative industries from all over the world, the institute is deliberately international, producing the next generation of global architectural practitioners.
