STUDYING AT ENSAPL

An architectural and landscaping school

The ENSAP of Lille offers two courses in architecture and in landscaping. These two courses allow the school the opportunity to have an original identity, and develop a real interdisciplinary approach in architecture, urbanism, and landscaping.

The ENSAPL is open to all baccalaureates. Admissions in first year, licence 1 or CPEP1 is done via the national platform of Parcoursup. After examination of their school file (grades in the two last years) and of their motivation letter, selected candidates will be auditioned by two teachers.
