The Designing with Type Awards for study abroad assist Cooper Union art students who exhibit a strong interest in graphic design and wish to study in a foreign country.

Designed to help cover travel and living expenses, the awards allow students to advance their design skills while engaging in life-enhancing, cultural experiences.

What the Students Are Saying

“The course at Universitat Der Kunste (UDK), Berlin was more than ideal in giving me an insightful scope into the expansive realm of visual communication. To be attending a class in a foreign country, instructed in a foreign language, I was certainly positioned outside my comfort zone to say the least.”

− Ian Langehough

“In ways greater than I can probably understand, this has opened me up to new ways of thinking and imagining what is possible, as I was able to personally understand the experience of other people through their work. “

− Matthew Ledwidge

“Whilst studying in Berlin, I learned a great deal. I was pushed in all fields and believed I develop exponentially as a young student.”

− Angus Buchanan Smith

“Ultimately, the semester abroad made me more ambitious and open-minded, personally and professionally.”

− Batrek Yassa

“What I gained from my experiences abroad, and what I gained from the Designing With Type Award exceeds what I have written here and continues to effect me… it really was a transformative time for me and my work which was very valuable to me.”

− Matthew Ledwidge
