<p>Since I have done some research in ID majors, I can tell you they are as varied as Arch programs. It is always best to look at the actual curriculum to see what their focus is. Canada has some other titles for their industrial design degrees. </p>
<p>Here in U.S. there is a BS in ID, BA in ID, a BID and BFA in ID. Some schools have automotive specialties. Some schools use more technology ie CAD than others. Use the school link from my other post and read about the programs in places you think you might go. </p>
<p>I think the programs that use the first year as a foundation year gives a nice start and frequently students in other design majors are all together (Virg tech does this) then the students branch out in the following years.</p>
