We strive to bring all our courses to life by adding real learning experiences, enabling students to go further in the process of discovering the design, fashion, luxury, and gastronomy sectors. Students can visit trade shows, exhibitions, conferences, and tastings. The aim of these activities is to enrich students’ general knowledge and discover new areas of interest, as well as to provide them with professional opportunities by establishing contacts for their future career development.
Our graduating classes also regularly take part in various national and international fashion and textile design competitions.
Study trips
To encourage open-mindedness and an appetite for international careers, study trips are offered to Ecole Conte students. These trips provide students with the opportunity to visit companies, meet designers and entrepreneurs, discover exclusive exhibitions and, of course, build a professional network that will play a vital role in their future careers. This openness is essential for our chosen sectors, as French know-how is increasingly exported abroad, offering great prospects for our future graduates.
From Dubai and New York to Singapore and Milan, the destinations we have chosen, give us a foothold in the international luxury and fashion worlds.
