Design careers are aptitude and interest based and hence it is difficult to say 'which is better'. At would we understand that for many students it is difficult to make a choice at the time of entrance and most of them do so because of peer pressure or a perceived 'good career option'.

Graduation project is a very important part of your studies at would. This is the time when you bring together all your learning into an actual real life problem solving. You can do it with or without an industry sponsor. In case of a industry sponsor, the industry provides the problem and you work on their shop floor under their mentorship.

You have chosen fields that are fast evolving and are likely to grow very fast in the coming decade. Both are available at Bachelor level so you can do a B. Des in either transportation design or Animation & gaming design. Transportation is a wider and better choice then only automobile design. Similarly VFX is a small subset of animation and gaming. So go for courses with wider scope and go for specialised universities only. Would offers both programs which you can check on its website.

It is important to have a degree in the field you want to build your career. If you are planning to do a start up or open your own business then you can do it without degree. If you are seeking a job in the industry, then you need to have a qualification.
