Hey! Can I do this bachelor's degree in design and then take the fashion and design master? I've looked on the website but I didn't see it as an option so I was confused about the compatibility of these 2. Thank you in advance!

I wonder if this Bachelor’s Program of Design can help me in Graphic Design?

[@moutonfunebre7437]

Same question here. I really wanna be a graphic designer one day, but I don't really understand if it will be helpful or not.

Hey! I have a question about the bachelor's program of design. The question is should I be good at drawing or not. I wanna become a graphic designer one day, but my skills are really weak. So, can I pass the exam even though I draw badly?

[@aaltouniversity]

Hi Tarja! According to one of our Design students you don’t have to be good at drawing, you will have time to learn it during your studies. However, you should be able to visualize your ideas and projects. If you have any questions about applying, please send your questions to [e-mail] . If you wish to discuss with our current students, you can do it in Unibuddy platform here www.aalto.fi/en/study-at-aalto/chat-with-aalto-students . The tracks / specialisations within this programmes can be seen here www.aalto.fi/en/study-options/bachelors-programme-in-design#4-tracks-within-the-study-option

If you go for an exchange do you receive student overalls?

[@aaltouniversity]

Hi! Yes, exchange students can buy overalls, too :) However, many Arts students and associations at Aalto use jackets instead of overalls!
