Specially, the course is very much future and job oriented and also you can do freelancing by choice in this field by not getting force to work 9-5. This course is all about creativity and making people buy your stuffs or giving you credits through creative manipulation on mind. It's all about everyday learning small to small things , work and slaying deadlines.
We have internships from the second year. This gears us towards industry life. In the summer before the third year, we need to intern for 1-3 months. In the 4th year, we intern for half the year and come back in the 2nd semester for our grand projects. Almost all of our students leave with an internship/job offer at the end of 4 years. This is due to the constant effort of our administration to organise exhibitions that invite industry greats. My plan after Ecole, is to work at a branding agency for a few years before pursuing an MFA in Graphic Design.
The placements in the college are pretty good. for my second year internship, I got the opportunity to intern with alfalfa studio new york, headed by Rafael Esquer who's the creator of huge identities such as the Huston Rockets and the New York City FC. The internship was an extremely awarding experience. The college has tie-ups with local design studios as well. Each and every student from my batch had secured a paid internship.
From 4th year companies like: white owl , Landor , ABND , STARTING MONDAY 40000 to 20000 per month as far as starting salary is concerned it's not about the percentage and grades its about the portfolio job or keeping a company , to be more precise college teaches you to be an entrepreneur in terms of running a creative studio .
The college has job opportunities and placements from the end of Lab 2 (second year). My seniors have all gotten jobs in design agencies, some of them are free lancing and some of them have joined their family business and are helping them grow.
Placements can be given from the 2nd year where the students are meant to stray interning from. The students are supposed to apply for their placement on their own merit. There is no specific number of offers. Offers can be made whenever the student desires to be placed.
As I am only in my first year I don't know much about the placements personally. However, there are internships starting from the 2nd year which give us industry experience before graduating. According to my knowledge, 98% of the students get jobs right after the completion of the course. I may apply for a Master's degree or work at a design agency. The faculty will guide you and get you interviews for your internships and placements.
For our campus placement, we have an exhibition called designxt at the end of every year. You might get an internship or job if it's a part of your curriculum and if they like your work. All the students of ecole present their work.
Students are expected to do a 1-2 month Internship after 2nd year and a 4-6 month internship during the 4th year. Ecole has an event called Design next which allows students and design agencies to interact .Design agencies look through our work and select students for an interview and placements. This is how I got my internship with GWD KIDS. Most students get internships and jobs through Ecole.
