The Architectural Institute of Paris (AI-P) is a Master’s School of Architecture & Interior Design teaching in the English language.

Based in the historic artists’ district of Montmartre in Paris, the Institute is a unique teaching establishment; it is one of the smallest architecture schools in Europe, accepting a maximum of 20 students into each cohort.

The Institute’s size allows us to deliver a curriculum based on the individual focus of each student, encompassing a pedagogy that is radical and innovative, with an emphasis on speculation about the future of architecture and society.

The Institute is deliberately selective, and unlike all other schools of architecture in Paris, the school offers an unparalleled student to staff ratio and individual tutorial time. This, combined with a renowned international teaching faculty, and state of the art facilities, offers a unique educational environment.

Study at the Architectural Institute is most suited to students who take an active role in school life, who are committed to their studies, and who have a mature and independent approach to learning.

The Architectural Institute of Paris is composed of two schools:

The School of Architecture offers a two-year Post-graduate (Master’s) programme in Architecture in central Paris, with graduates necessarily gaining ARB Part 2 on completion.

The School of Interior Design offers a two-year Post-graduate (Master’s) programme in Interior Design in central Paris.

These programmes are for graduates of 3 or 4 year Bachelor’s degrees in Architecture and Interior Design, or other related disciplines.

The Institute was developed in response to the changes in the economic, demographic, technological, and environmental context in which architects and designers operate over the last decade, as well as the changing nature of architectural and design practice today.

The Architectural Institute of Paris is the only post-graduate architecture and design school teaching solely in the English language in France, founded and operated by architects with international and cross-border licensure, including France, the UK, the USA, Australia, and Spain.

The Architectural Institute is the only architecture school in France who’s graduates have the necessary automatic accreditation towards professional registration in the United Kingdom, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the EEA EFTA States; Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
