The "Assisted Practice Year" (APA) is an opportunity to gain first-hand professional experience in a design studio in the construction or design field and to become familiar with the different phases of planning and execution of a construction project.
The course is intended for students who have either a high school diploma or a professional diploma not related to the field of construction and design and who, therefore, do not meet the criteria for direct access to the Bachelor's degree in Architecture, Interior Architecture and Civil Engineering.
