Design Lead in Intercom, former design director of "Yandex". Several years teaching interface design at MSU and MAI. In its Telegram-channel Design & Productivity She writes about design, productivity and life.

Slightly less than all of my friends designers - self-taught. Courses and schools can be useful and can help a bit, push and accelerate, but basically all have to learn for yourself. The only way to learn how to design - design practice. Trying to do something. Copy great. Study, take apart and try to reproduce the strong work. Trying to come up with and to bring something new.

So, what courses or schools will make you a designer? No. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yet talk briefly about 6 schools and courses, which is familiar and which I can recommend.

1. British Higher School of Design

"The British," remains one of the most sane design schools in the country.
