[IxDA Discuss] studying interaction design

[Nicolas Cohen]

Hi,

I've checked all your suggestions and what i found is that the most  
interesting career programmes require some previous undegrad studies...
I will have to choose some undegrad programme thats related to  
interactions or design here in buenos aires first, in order to be  
admited in any of the degrees i've found.

But until next academic year starts here (march 2008) I have followed  
caroline's suggestion and applied for the User Interface Design &  
Evaluation course that begins this november.

I liked Umea's interaction ma programme , from what i can read in the  
website, it seems really interesting.

Catalunyas programme is too oriented to media authoring, something  
simmilar to whats happening here in argentina, where most public and  
private programmes are all about authoring tools, processes and  
methods. In the whole programme, theres only one course about  
interface design, and nothing regarding the whole interactive product  
experience, nor business oriented courses.

For what i see in the san francisco state's Web Design & Development  
course page: http://academic.sfsu.edu/ar/at/otl/fully_online_det.php? 
uid=371 its similar to Catalunya's authoring oriented education,  
which isn't really what appeals to me.

Thanks for all the replies, they where really useful.
