Thinking about getting my masters. Leaning towards going to Switzerland, but I'm open to anywhere in Europe.
Can anyone recommend a good school with a strong program. Looking into graphic design or web design. Thanks

go to switzerland.
i have this book and i like his apprfoach to type and layout much more than the Dutch approach: http://www.amazon.com/Helmut-Sch…
my opinion, without trying to get in an argument here with anyone, werkplaats/rietveld will turn you into an artist or visual scientist, not a designer.

I think the way to do it is to figure out who you want to work for, and then ask them for advice on education and training.

in other words, rietveld & werkplaats typografie are too meta.
if you ever want to make a living out of your work, better look for a masters that is more practical and realistic..
else it may all go in a different direction, look at francoisfido here for instance. ;-)
