Requirements

Preselected candidates are rapidly contacted to arrange an appointment for the selection interview in Brussels (which can be at any time from the Open Days at the end of February onwards). If need be, this interview can be conducted via Skype or FaceTime for candidates who live in a distant country.

For this interview, candidates will need to bring:

  • (CESS or BACCALAUREATE all series + other possible diplomas);
  • A copy of grades achieved in the last 2 academic years;
  • 1 recent passport picture;
  • A double-sided copy of his/her ID card or passport;
  • A possible add-on to the artistic file

ENGLISH LEVEL

The CAD is an institution with an international outlook. As a result, classes are taught in English. This is why students must speak and read English fluently. For those whose mother tongue is not English, the level (as a second language) attained in high school is generally sufficient to start the first-year programme. The programmes are structured so the required level is reached in 2 years, if the student participates in all the courses, follows the English classes and carries out all the requested tests.

At entry, candidates must have an equivalent level of 5 pts in overall band score at the IELTS test (level usually reached at the end of high school). During the selection interview, a motivation questionnaire will be presented in English. An evaluation test will be organised at registration.

Speciality

For international transfers, bank fees are payable by the sender.

A staggered payment plan is possible for some residents (upon acceptance and subject to a surcharge of 300 EUR).

Tuition fees do not include cultural visits and study trips.

*Registration fee: this amount covers general administrative costs as well as individual insurance (taken out by the CAD) in case of any accident on the school premises.

Additional information

WHY STUDY INTERIOR DESIGN AT THE CAD?

The professions of interior architect and designer have evolved considerably in recent years. These professionals must be able to work with public, commercial and private spaces, design furniture and accessories, imagine exhibitions, conceive cultural events and more.

On the other hand, a complementarity between interior architects and designers has developed over time. Indeed, growing technical, technological and regulatory constraints are increasingly keeping architects busy. As a result, some of the tasks they formerly undertook are now entrusted to interior architects. They now have the same level of education (5 years) and work independently or in collaboration with others.

In addition to their observational skills and their ability to find and synthesize information, designers are first and foremost creative. Once a project has been designed, they must manage the various tradespeople, subcontractors or manufacturers involved, and control prices, deadlines and quality. Creativity and rigour are the keys to future success!

The CAD teaches its students to tackle all aspects of the profession. This richness and openness to the realities of the profession allow our students to find very good internships during their studies, and to rapidly obtain professional commitments once they graduate.
