COURSES

For more than 180 years, ESMOD has been developing and implementing an up-to-date curriculum that is constantly reviewed to reflect new technologies, industry trends, and social needs, in addition to its traditional knowledge and techniques. By integrating fashion design and pattern-making courses, students learn the creative process from concept to production, and are trained to be professionals who can be immediately effective in the fashion world upon graduation.

There is a Design and Creation Course to learn the basics, an English Course to study fashion in English, a course to study abroad during the third year at the main school in Paris, France, and an Intensive Course for experienced adults.

We also provide a course aimed at obtaining the International Bachelor of the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM). We are launching the new Fashion Luxury course starting April 2025.

DESIGN & CREATION COURSE

This course provides a comprehensive education in both design and pattern making plus sewing, allowing students to acquire the essential knowledge and skills needed to become fashion professionals, from the basics to practical applications.
ENGLISH COURSE

The curriculum is the same as the Design & Creation course. This course is taught in English while being in Japan, suitable for international students and those aiming for a global career.
PARIS EXCHANGE COURSE

In the first two years, students study various aspects of fashion at the Tokyo campus, followed by a year at the Paris campus. This experience at the heart of the fashion industry serves as a stepping stone for students to launch their talents globally.
INTENSIVE COURSE

There is also an accelerated two-year intensive course designed for those with basic fashion knowledge or experience, covering three years of content from the Design & Creation course.
CNAM BACHELOR COURSE

This is the only program in Japan where students can study Innovation Management in the fashion industry and obtain a Bachelor’s degree awarded by the French Ministry of Higher Education.
FASHION LUXURY COURSE

This course is designed to provide foundational knowledge in fashion and to teach the unique business know-how specific to luxury brands.
