Student & Alumni Comments
"HEAD has amazing materials and workspaces. There is not much support from the school for the students' projects, it costs a lot of money to be able to produce a big collection in Geneva...The school is not branded yet in terms of style, which is great for the diversity of the school. Everybody can really push forward their own universe."
"I found the body of students and teachers to be very high quality, but the course content was not consistent. I felt ill-equipped to start my own business as the commercial teaching was minimal. "
