Hello Ricardo, I don't know why haven't i came across by your channel much earlier, its really informative i hope u create more videos right now i am in a career dilemma and this video clarified 50% of my problem thank you hope this channel grew more and touch millions❤
Aw thank you so much!!! That means a lot and thankfully the channel is still growing steadily, it's not CRAZY growth but it's still growth, especially considering that I've been to busy to post a lot in recent months. Your comments definitely get me motivated to make more videos so I'm on it, thanks for sticking around and glad to hear the videos are helping you out! 💛
thank you, I am a software engineering student considering switching to a user experience degree. I really enjoy design and the concepts behind it. This video really provided me with clarity.
Design is actually a very complex, layered, and old discipline that has evolved a lot over time. I’m hoping to make a video about it this year so stay tuned ☕️
Thank you for the helpful breakdown! The design pedagogies are so different between programs and universities, so it’s super important to research beforehand to make sure your goals are aligned with what the program offers!
Exactly, and the truth is that (I remember in my case) sometimes it's even hard to really decipher what the pedagogy is actually about, especially if you don't have a background in anything design / art related. It's almost like you have to research into those topics before you even decide to commit to a program.
Totally! And the nuances of academia are not meant to be superficial / easy to grasp, so it’s not like you can just sit through a lecture or one presentation and understand everything. So taking your time with the decision and immersing yourself in the process is SOOOO IMPORTANT.
Hi Ricardo, I've started my ux journey 3 months ago by taking the google ux course and i am so glad to know that this is my career path which fascinates me a lot! I've also got some graphic designing background But also I am 19 and already enrolled in local college with meaningless degree of commerce when I passed my high schools in 2022. Now the concern is that my family's financial condition is not so good so that I can drop my current degree get enroll in any UX degree college. Also I expect a job from this field and I've not yet started making the portfolio but I am gonna work on it. Please guide me to build a solid path for continuing the Field. Love from India!!
Thanks so much for the comment! Is there any way you can customize your curriculum and add some UX related courses? I'm thinking about courses in psychology, human behavior, visual design, graphic design, maybe some intro to html / css. If you can add these courses to your curriculum, you could learn relevant UX skills (even if it's not a UX degree) and then do projects in those courses related to UX. With those course under your belt, you can supplement with online UX courses (like Coursera and designlab) and build you portfolio that way. I'm not familiar with program in India but if you can get scholarships that would be even better. Hope this helps and good luck! 💪🏼
Awesome video, it is very thorough and thoughtful. I'm torn between which program is great for me. I really want to attend a school in person but I live in a rural area without the option to move. I need a artistic diverse program that is offered online like SCAD OR MICA.
It’s definitely more of a scientific approach to design but every program is different so maybe you can find one that is a good balance of studio and HCI. Good luck!
Do you have advice on how to research the reputation and alumni (and where they work) of the programs? I am starting with RUclips videos, Google Searches and LinkedIn. I live in California (LA area) so I'm looking at UCI, Berkley or CCA to help me get more experience in UX Design, I love how you broke down the benefits of HCI vs more art based programs.
Hey Ricardo! The video was very insightful indeed. What would you suggest for someone like me who doesn’t want to specialise and target large tech companies from the very beginning. Which course type can support a startup work environment better? As it’s a more generalist role
Oh, if you want to work at a startup, you need to be ready to wear multiple hats, essentially being a jack of all trades. I remember when I worked at Wish, I had to jump between UX work, illustrations, icon design, t-shirt graphics, marketing materials, and more. So, basically, anything that gives you a broad design education will set you up well for a startup. Some startups even ask for coding knowledge, essentially looking for a unicorn which in my opinion, is not scalable. Truthfully, you won't know everything before working at a startup, and there's a big chance you'll learn on the job, so don't get discouraged trying to learn it all beforehand. Good luck!
Hi Ricardo! Thank you for the excellent video. I am currently enrolled in an HCI masters (at UCL, London) and would like to get into a role that deals with future tech - something like researching and designing interactions for the next generation of Apple Vision Pro or interfaces for multimodal LLMs. Do you have any advice for what to do during/after your degree to land this kind of role?
Hi Violet! That sounds awesome - I originally wanted to do something similar merging my architecture background with spatial design but that was before we had the Apple Vision and the Metaverse :) The first thing that I would do is create a portfolio project where you explore some of these use cases, even if you have to do it in your spare time outside of your curriculum. Then, I would use that project to apply for an internship in AR / XR / VR so that you can get field experience and start growing your resume in this direction. Remember that multimodal LLM agents will be integrated across all devices so you don't need to focus on a particular platform if you want to focus on designing for LLMs so I would decide which one is more important - internship working on genAI agents for any product or experience working across XR (this one sound more interesting in my humble opinion but I'm biased 😁).
Hello, In the year 2022, I decided to drop out of B Arch College because of health issues. I was performing very well In architecture. I basically took a year-long break to focus solely on my health and as I couldn't allow myself to Sit still without any work I started learning UIUX design through Coursera and ended up having a freelancing opportunity within a month and sooner I got into an internship followed by a full-time job within few months. I feel lucky to have knowledge of design and human behaviour that i probably learned in architecture college. But somehow I feel insecure about not having a bachelors degree in hand. I am willing to persue a degree in any kind of design program as i feel that at the end the most important skill is designing itself. I still have a piece in my heart that says that i should continue with architecture. I sometimes feel lost and it feels like ive messed up my entire career. But I an performing well in my current company. Is there any suggestion you’d like to give. To help me navigate through my career in design. Thank you , your content is helpful.
Hi! OMG are journeys are so similar and I can completely relate to the feeling of missing architecture because architecture is honestly such a fun discipline to study - I really miss spatial design, 3d modeling, rendering, drawing, omg so many things! I would say that what I love about design is exactly what you mentioned, design is a way of thinking and problem solving and can be applied to different outputs, building are just one outputs and interfaces are others so the main principles are applicable regardless of what hat you decide to wear. I would honestly say that there isn't a right and wrong answer to your question and, when I'm faced with situations like these, I honestly try to listen to my gut. I would encourage to listen to yourself, trust yourself, because only you know what's really in your heart and only you understand your journey and the reasons why you made the decisions you made. Do what's best for you! ✨ 💛
Hi, Ricardo! I've been watching your videos and it helped me so much! I'm interested in having a Masters Degree in HCI since I've graduated from Visual Communication Design in my country and I wanna have the scientific outlook to complete my artistic/designer way of my degree. Do you think Masters degree is worth it? Please enlighten me! 😂
Hi! That's really exciting. One of the most advantageous aspects of a Masters degree is that it gives you access to internship opportunities since most internships require you to be a full time student. Ideally, the masters is at least 2 years long so that you can use the summer to intern but it really comes down to your financial situation. I think going back to school, if you can afford it, is a great option in today's economy given how bad the job market is and being a student unlocks a bunch of student-only job opportunities (that's what I did 🙂).
Hi there, I actually had a professor that studied there and she was great! I think the only negative is that you would have to live as a student in NYC and it’s really expensive but a lot of the good programs are in big cities so it’s definitely something to consider.
is it too late to study a masters in ux after graduating from a business bachelor? i’m on my third year and my school only offers a business degree so changing majors isn’t really an option…
I don't think so. Could you take electives in UX? Maybe you can do a short online course in UX or a cheap bootcamp to build a portfolio before you graduate. There are always options so don't despair!
I have a doubt regarding my admits, right now I’ve got two admits i.e CCA(MDes IXD) and IUB(MS HCI) and I’ve no prior job experience (have 3 internships) as I am directly going for master’s after my bachelor’s. What according to the US job perspective will be better for me?
I don't have any experience but I would say to my understanding HCI because it deals with the whole UX process rather than just IXD which focuses on more of the UI side.
This is a very difficult question because every company’s ux / product / ixd roles will be so different based on the team size and resources. I would honestly say that any of these programs can work as long as you fill in the missing gaps in your portfolio. One important skill that I do think any of them teach you is product thinking (product requirements, roadmapping, strategic planning, etc) which are essential skills to product design but that also depends on what type of designer you want to be. Product design is definitely the highest paying track in the US if that’s what’s most important to you. Good luck!
Thanks for the tip! I think it’s hard to do an average based on program because salaries are very much company dependent. By that I mean that a designer working at a small startup will not make anywhere close to someone working in FAANG. So, if a program has a higher percent of grads that get hired at FAANG, their salaries will be higher.
We made it to *400 subscribers* y'all, just in time for this new video! 💛🙏🏼 I'm so grateful to have you all joining me in this journey and I can't wait for you to see all the videos I have in my roadmap. With that said, and now that you have a better idea of all the UX Design program types out there, check out my video on the 5 things I regret not doing before choose a grad school program. It's definitely a great counterpart to this video. See you all there and thanks again! ✨ ruclips.net/video/yRVsrnHMQUE/видео.html
I have 2.99 CGPA in bachelor of graphic design program. Any possibility for admission because all of them universities requirements criteria is 3 out of 4CGPA?
For someone who is starting into something like just UX/UI design to be designing mobile and web design with no coding and programming, can you still take the HCI program? And are these classes physical or online?
What are some online courses i can take i am a cse grad 2021 laid off in june 2023 and not earning currently from india i want to start freelancing in ui ux can u talk about it
So sorry to hear about the lay off. I would search for free courses or learn from YT as much as possible so you don't incur any debt in the process until you get yourself in a better financial situation. You can also check out platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and Interaction Design Foundation for online courses. To start freelancing, focus on building a strong portfolio, mastering design tools (Figma, Adobe XD, etc.), and understanding user research and UX principles. Good luck!
I don't specifically call it out but I show it at 9:26 in the interdisciplinary / hybrid programs section and the link is in the description box as well: www.gsd.harvard.edu/design-engineering/
This sounds like a really cool combination, but have you considered a UX-specific degree? That might be more helpful in terms of an alumni network and preparing specifically for UX because, in my experience, when you combine two degrees, you end up having to make up for some of the content that might not be taught on your own. Since it's not a UX-specific degree, there might be certain topics you'll need to cover independently (which is not ideal). There are some awesome undergraduate UX programs like SCAD, Carnegie Mellon, University of Washington, UC Berkeley, CCA, etc. (though some of them are quite expensive without scholarships).
I just finished my B.arch degree and i was exploring M.des in interaction design or communication (in india) and one of my concerns was if I'm in college for 2 years with a proper course but if other people are get a certification course/ bootcamps in 3 months and get more real life experience as intern or in smaller companies in the same 2 years then the bigger companies might prefer to hire the ones with experience instead of a fresher who just graduated. what do you think? Also does the country influence your chances of getting hired in MNCs?
Great question! I will say that there is a underlying assumption that it will be easy to find a UX job with a certification / bootcamp. I'm not sure what the job market is like in India but I know that the USA market is saturated with bootcamp / certificate graduates against the very little inventory of entry level jobs available. So, if you are able to get a job quickly I would say go for it, but I would budget time into that equation for being unemployed while you look for a job. I think that experience will always be preferred but you need to land that entry level role to get the experience and, for me, I did 3 internships in my 2 years of school, one during the semester, so I was able to still acquire experience in companies that only allowed students to intern (Adobe + Google). So there are a lot of factors you need to take into consideration and a lot of paths you can take but it's important that you weigh the risks for both in the current market we have. Wishing you the best of luck!

Noted, thanks for the idea!
Santa Monica College has a new ixd (interaction design) bachelors program. I will be going into this fall.
That's super exciting - thanks so much for sharing. Good luck with the program, I think this is a great time to study UX while the economy recovers.

So there are a lot of factors you need to take into consideration and a lot of paths you can take but it's important that you weigh the risks for both in the current market we have. Wishing you the best of luck!
Hey I added you on LinkedIn
Hey! I've been receiving a large influx of LinkedIn requests since starting this channel and have honestly stopped going through them for now. I'm starting to think that the follow feature might be a better option for me because the requests are getting a bit unruly. Thank you! ✨
