Study abroad at Hyper Island: Far from ordinary but close to reality

Welcome to Hyper Island. Or more correctly put: welcome to reality. At Hyper Island reality is key. Students run real projects and work in teams with real clients. They learn the business from the people that know it the best, live and work in it as well as manage it. The Swedish cities of Karlskrona and Stockholm serves as base, but students aren’t geographically limited to these sites. At Hyper Island students can do their internships in any country of their own choice and expand their international industry network.

By inviting representatives from the business world, Hyper Island also invites new knowledge. Students get to meet skillfull professionals that are well updated with the latest industry developments, and to discuss this as well as work together them. Instead of teachers and written tests, Hyper Island uses tutors and realistic assignments. This might sound as a paradox, but inviting reality to the school environment and to release education into reality makes both the school and the students more secure. When students are to take the next step towards their new roles in the work field it will feel as if they’ve already have experienced it.

Hyper Island is not your ordinary school, but a school that wants to revolutionize the educational business. Not to seperate itself from the mass. Not because it wants attention. Just simply because Hyper Island believes in people’s ability to drive and control their learning. At Hyper Island students take their own initiatives. Or in other words, at Hyper Island students learn to trust their own ability.

Hyper Island has one college in the city of Karlskrona and one in Stockholm, the Swedish capital.
