A small introduction, my name is Bryan McMurray, born in Cape Town South Africa, currently living in Lisbon Portugal. I a have decided to pursue a design career, focused in automotive / transportation starting off with a bachelors then a Masters.
I would just like to ask if anyone may help me in a few questions I have not been able to figure out yet, and found such a great community here with knowledge in these areas:
Which is "The" design school that is taken in highest consideration in Europe? The college that will immediately stand out on your resume. I other terms (i am not comparing), which is "The Harvard" of Automotive / Transportation / Industrial Design in Europe.
(I do consider the option of Industrial Design Bachelor + Automotive Masters) Price is not the issue, as for I am sure I will do whatever it takes to get there. Don´t take me for a superficial person, my thought is since I am studying, I may as well get the best out of those 4 years as possible.
Is a bachelors in Industrial Design with a Masters in Automotive less advised in comparison to both bachelors and Masters in Automotive?
I have the possibility of getting a UK citizenship, will that provide me with any sort of benefit in my options? Is it worth pursuing?
Since the CarDesignNews Community has so much knowledge in the area, what is from a Designers / Employers / Students / etc point of view, is the most important for me to take in consideration right now? Or what is the most important for me to do / invest.
I highly appreciate our answers, and suggestions / recommendations are also very appreciated. Feel free to ask me any questions.
I was hopeing someone could give me some feedback please.
