Hi Markus, I sympathise with your dilemma as it is close to my own experience. I did quite a theoretic MSc at the university, based on computer science with some multimedia stuff thrown in. But I hardly got experience to create actual interfaces. In the Netherlands we have now quite some interaction studies, but not at university level - something called "hogeschool", which is higher vocational education. I might have done that, thinking back.
Even though, it is much more important to build up a portfolio. This can be done through your study ideally, or by doing jobs while you are studying. A internship guy really impressed me by the amount of experience he already has, while he is still studying! This is an important thing for future employers. In design, people need to have some visual proof of what you are capable of. Only if you envision an research career, would I focus on more theory... -- Liou . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
