The Strate School of Design adventure
From 2013 to 2020
Appointed director in 2013 of what was then called Strate College, Dominique Sciamma completely transformed it, establishing it as a school that matters, a school that thinks, a school that speaks out.
Renamed Strate School of Design, with a new tagline – ‘Making the world simpler, fairer, more beautiful’ – the school has enjoyed continuous growth under Dominique's leadership, particularly through its training programmes, but also through the three campuses created during his tenure:
-
Strate Bangalore in India, which has developed magnificently under the leadership of Thomas DAL.
-
Strate Singapore, with its Master in Design for Smart Cities, designed with Jacques Malz, its director. With several Master's degrees intakes and numerous professional training programs (over 150 people trained), the school was impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and the 18-month closure of Singapore's borders to international students.
-
Strate Lyon, designed with Guillaume Lom Puech, who developed it with talent and panache, the Lyon campus has invented a new model, while remaining faithful to the parent company's core values.
CY school of design
since 2020
The first design school ever created within a french university, CY Design School was born from the meeting of two visions and two men: François GERMINET, then President of CY Cergy Paris University, and Dominique SCIAMMA, then Director of Strate.
Announced in October 2020, the school welcomed its first students 11 months later, with 130 students enrolled in two programmes
-
1 master in Global Design in 5 years
-
1 dual degree in Digital Engineering and Design in 6 years (a pioneering education in France)
Four years later, the school welcomed 640 students across four courses, including two new ones:​
-
Double degree in Economics and Management/Innovation through Design (3 years)
-
Bachelor's Degree in Creative 3D Modelling with Renault, Stellantis, Molb Design and Technicon Design.
First post-Covid design school, CY Design School trains global designers, from materials to decision-making, as part of a highly intensive project-based teaching programme. Students work on 15 to 17 projects over 5 or 6 years, all with a partner (companies, start-ups, local authorities, institutions, associations).
In four years, the school has completed more than 290 projects with 200 partners, with more than 600 students enrolled.
