NYU IDM vs. RCA IED

[Delicatessen]

RCA IED: Royal College of Art Information Experience Design

NYU IDM: New York University Integrated Design and Media

 

RCA IED Pros:

- Number one Art School, prestigious network and reputation in art scene

- The program aligns with the 'purpose' of my artistic practices

- One year program, less tuition and living costs to pay

RCA IED Cons:

- Few faculties(4, including part time faculties)

- Post-brexit London

- One year program, no internship opportunity

- No focus on computing/technical aspects

 

NYU IDM Pros:

- MS Degree, higher employability

- The program aligns with the 'technical approach' of my artistic practices

- 12 faculties, with 3-4 faculties aligned with my interest

NYU IDM Cons:

- NYU Tandon is not a good engineering school.. 

- The overall quality of graduate showcase is not impressive compared to RCA

 

It's such a hard decision to make! As I'm coming from an engineering background, going for NYU Tandon might be a bit more safe choice as it is an engineering school, but I'd also like to adventure through new field of art as my aim throughout both of the program is to be an artist, afterall. 

Any advices?
