BCIS Graduate Considering a Master’s in Visual Design…

BCIS Graduate Considering a Master’s in Visual Design Abroad — Scholarships & Challenges?

Hi everyone,

I’m a recent **BCIS graduate** planning to pursue a Master’s abroad, but I’m considering switching from IT to **Visual Design / Visual Communication / Brand Design**.

Although my bachelor’s is in BCIS, I’ve always been interested in the creative field. I have some **original character illustrations, handmade sketches, doodles and graphic design experience**, so I’m now considering pursuing design more seriously at the Master’s level.

I’d love to hear from people who have studied or work in design, especially international students.

I’m particularly interested in:

* Which design Master’s programs could accept someone with a **BCIS background**?
* How difficult is admission without a Bachelor’s in Design?
* How important is the **portfolio**?
* What challenges should I expect when transitioning from IT to design?
* What **fully funded scholarships** are available for international students studying design?
* Which countries or universities offer good funding opportunities for design students?

I’m mainly interested in **Visual Communication, Brand Design, Graphic Design, and closely related fields**.

I’d really appreciate personal experiences, recommendations, or advice from anyone who has gone through this process.

Thanks!
