So i have 3 offer letters and i am awaiting for one
Ashwin Bajaj
I am glad you are here to have this conversation because I believe we have had a conversation about higher education and design schools on twitter
❤️
Ashwin Bajaj
Talking about the offers: 1. CIID 2. loughborough university (MA user experience and service design) 3. University of York (Msc HCI) 4. UAL which is still awaited
Ashwin Bajaj
My whole concern/dilemma here is that my end goal is to have something of my own eventually
Ashwin Bajaj
So the question is 1. Should I really go for a masters 2. CIID is not accredited but the best curriculum out there which is genuinely teaching design should i pursue it 3. How much does a master really help a designer in the industry and till what extent

I believe the biggest requirement for this ambition is to have practical experience and understanding.
Himanshu Khanna
As much as we’d like, studying might not be the best path to practical experience.
Himanshu Khanna
Alternatively, what if you’re to start something today itself?
Himanshu Khanna
Or join an early-stage venture for equal time you were to invest in your masters?

Masters helps a lot with bigger (read Enterprise) companies. It’s also one great way to move and learn more about the culture of a certain city you’re interested in for the next few years as your work city. Hope this makes sense!
