Picking a uni product design(I need help and am confused)

Hi there,

I've got my uni offers back and am really not sure which uni is the best for me, so i have come to the internet for help lol. the offers are:

UAL Central St Martens - Product and Industrial design
University of Edinburgh - Product Design
Glasgow School of Art - Product Design

I do not care about location and all the courses look good to me I just want to know which uni is the best in this field and which uni will look best for job opportunities. Please help me

I'm literally in the same predicament (I've got offers for all of them too). I've decided to reject GSA as I wasn't impressed by the university/course when I went on the offer holder day. I'm deciding between ECA and UAL... really stuck on which one to choose. I'd be open to hearing what others think of the universities also!

ive firmed product design at eca simply because i just love edin uni even though ive never been there, it sounds really welcoming and its really pretty and despite the low student satisfaction mainly coming from the medicine or business courses, the art students all seem to really love all the opportunities and support and facilities! i have a senior currently in third year in product design there who has really helped me by giving me a lot of insights into uni life and i think its the perfect balance for me 🙂 I havent seen anyone else who has firmed product design so if you do lmk! id love to meet some friends before going

Hi, I'm looking to do product design at uni as well, could you share your experience with applying to unis for product design? did you do a foundation course? would really love to go to UAL CSM but the website said 'a very high proportion of successful applicants complete a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design', and I haven't done that so im wondering if it would be unrealistic for me to apply without one?

Congrats again on getting in! It must feel great to have started the journey. I'm planning to apply next semester would love to hear any tips you have for the portfolio if you don’t mind sharing!

Hi,

I'm an international student planning to apply for Product Design at Edinburgh too, and was wondering if you have any tips for portfolio making? Also, on their website it says to make a video walkthrough of my sketchbook - did you have to do this too? I'm a little worried as they seem to consider portfolios more than grades.
