With the continuous improvement of art study abroad information, studying abroad has gradually developed into a trend of friends studying design.
Today, I would like to share with you the information collected by myself on studying abroad in the arts category, which is a reference for friends who have this idea.
First, the top20 ranking of art and design universities in 2018.

Of course, this is a comprehensive ranking, which can only be referred to as the main and cannot be used as the basis for setting schools.
Some schools do not participate in such evaluations, but their majors are still widely recognized in the industry.
It is not difficult to see from the ranking that most of the excellent schools are distributed in the United States, Britain and Europe.
This article mainly shares top schools in industrial design such as Britain, the United States and Europe.

The United States
________________________________________
In the industrial design colleges and universities in the United States, the ranking of top1-5 schools fluctuates greatly, but the gap between schools is not very large, mainly due to the difference in teaching characteristics. How to choose depends on one's own interests and hobbies, and what suits oneself is the best.

1. Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)
There is no need to talk about it. The direction of furniture and products are open to you.
• Furniture Design(BFA/MFA)
o Industrial Design(BFA/MID)

2. Art Center School of Design (ACCD)
Transportation design is the highest peak in the world. As long as you are studying design, you have heard about it. There is no need to introduce it too much. Industrial design is also very good.
• Product Design(BS)
• Transportation Design(BS)
o Industrial Design(MS)
o Graduate Transportation Systems and Design(MS)
Attach some ACCD works

3. School of Creative Design (College for Creative Studies)
In the United States, the only college in which transportation design can compete with ACCD, CCS is a very good choice if you want to learn transportation design. At the same time, CCS product design is also good, but it is not as outstanding as transportation.
• Transportation Design(BFA)
• Product Design(BFA)
o Transportation Design(MFA)
o Integrated Design(MFA)

4. University of Cincinnati (University of Cincinnati)
The most famous industrial design college among the comprehensive universities in the United States, although its student reputation and popularity in China are not as good as that of comprehensive colleges such as Kamei, its reputation in the United States and the world has attracted more attention.
• Industrial Design(BS)
o Master of Design(MDes)

5. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)
Savan is an institution that is easily underestimated by Chinese students. However, SCAD has abundant industrial resources for students' scientific research and practice. At the same time, SCAD's educational guidance for industrial design is very connected with future career development. For example, SCAD emphasizes that students present the actual form of products, in-depth exploration of industrial materials and processes, and the school projects provided by SCAD are closely connected with actual manufacturers, therefore, SCAD students can integrate and connect with the real needs and brand requirements of users more quickly after entering the workplace, and allocate the running-in of working conditions and the output of working results to the best rhythm.
• Industrial Design(BA)
o Industrial Design(MA/MFA)

6. Cranbrook School of Art (CAA)
CAA's product design name is 3D Design, and it only provides postgraduate courses. CAA's industrial design is biased towards home design. The research scope is more closely centered on "man-made world", which is more humanistic, more diverse, richer in product emotions, and more perceived and experienced by users. In short, CAA's product design is more artistic and is a specialty with philosophical reflection in 3D space.

7. Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)
• Products Design(BDes)


8. Pratt College of Art (Pratt)
• Industrail Design(BID)

Japan
________________________________________

There are many familiar design masters in Japan, and the book "Design in Design" by Kenya Hara is often used as a design enlightenment. Although Japan's industrial design style cannot be consistent with several words, if we agree with the concepts of "humanization", "simplicity" and "craftsman spirit", it is a good choice to go to Japan. In addition, the overall cost of studying abroad in Japan is relatively low, and it is very convenient to be close to China.

National public universities
Tokyo University of the Arts
• University of Tsukuba
Chiba University
Tokyo Institute of Technology
• Kanazawa University of Fine Arts and Crafts

Private universities
o Musashino Art University (Hara Kenya Graduation School)
o Tama University of Fine Arts (Naoto Fukasawa Graduation School)

Italy
________________________________________

Italian industrial design still maintains a leading position in the world, especially furniture design and automobile design, which have attracted worldwide attention. The following four colleges and universities are available for everyone to choose from:

Politecnico di Milano (comprehensive) (partial engineering, industrial design teaching emphasizes logic, and students have strong abilities)
Politecnico di Torino (comprehensive)
European Institute of Design (Comprehensive)
• University of Modena (Car Design)

Four Nordic Countries
________________________________________

Nordic is a relatively unpopular position in the field of art study abroad, but its position in the world's industrial design is unshakable. The well-known IKEA, Volvo, Bang & Olufsen, etc., and many well-known furniture are also made by Nordic designers such as Paul Hanningson (PoulHenningsen) PH lamp, Ann Jacobson (Arne Jacobsen) egg chair, swan chair, ant chair, etc. From this, we can also see the strong teaching strength of industrial design in Northern Europe. Moreover, tuition fees in northern Europe are generally lower than those in Britain and the United States. If you want to learn first-class industrial design but can't afford the high tuition fees, you can consider schools in northern Europe.
Sweden is the first in the four Nordic countries on the overall quality of education in industrial design, followed by Finland, Norway and Denmark. In addition, when applying for Northern Europe, you should pay attention:
1. Undergraduate students need to learn the local language and do not teach in English.
2. Postgraduates do not accept cross-disciplinary applications. It is relatively safe to have a degree of convergence of 70% or more for undergraduate courses. For details, please ask the school admissions office by mail.

Sweden
1. Swedish National Institute of Art and Design
2. Umeå University
3. Chalmers University of Technology
4. Royal Swedish Institute of Technology

Finland
1. Aalto University
Aalto University (Aalto University) is located in Finland. It is a top Nordic university with an ancient history and hundreds of years of school experience. Its history can be traced back to the Helsinki University of Technology established in 1849. In the 2017-2018 QS(top 50 under 50) ranking of the best young universities in the world, Aalto University ranked 7th in the world [3] and 1st in Europe.
Many world-renowned industrial design masters graduated from the University of Helsinki, the predecessor of Aalto. This is my dream school. (I really want to learn industrial design, I think I can learn more here)
2. University of Lapland
