Graduate programs in Industrial Design tend to focus on the technical aspects of the items on which they are working but also address issues such as ergonomics, safety and manufacturing economics. Graduates with a masters degree in industrial design can expect to enter careers as multimedia designers, industrial design specialists, chief designers and more. Industrial design masters programs will usually be 2 years in length and that is assuming the student already has a bachelor’s degree in art design field or similar. There are some institutions that will offer 3 year courses for students from disciplines other than art or design which are intended to provide you with a pre-requisite year of basic design skills, concepts and competencies which will then allow you to go on and complete the 2 year Masters In Industrial Design program.
