Hi,
I’ve been working as an industrial designer for about 2 years and I’m looking into masters program in industrial design. (or similar programs like design strategy/thinking, management etc)
To explain my situation quickly, I didn’t try my hardest and slacked off big time in college. Now i’m starting to regret my wasted education and resources I could have utilized during those time in the studio. But I’ve been lucky enough to land a job in Southern California where i love it here.
Because of my regrets and how much I could have done better in school, I would really love to try and explore concepts and go through extensive process in grad school because I don’t really have that luxury of time and resources at work.
I don’t have clear idea what I want to do in the future except the fact that i love working in design field. At first I was against going to grad school because i thought it’s just too expensive for the field that seems to require experience rather than education. So I’ve been focusing on maybe starting a small business to make cash on the side and hopefully owning my company in the future.
Recently, I’ve been informed there are some affordable schools in Europe like Germany, France, Denmark which sparked my interest.(I heard Germany offers almost no tuition as long as your pass their language test.) Also it gives me an excuse to live in Europe to experience different culture haha.
Sorry for my ramble but If you guys could name a few affordable, decent schools in EU offering masters in ID or related programs, that would be awesome. Also schools in US are welcomed as well. it’s just that i would not be happy paying 30-50k for grad school.
Your opinion on going to EU is appreciated as well.
Thanks!
