It becomes difficult if you are not helped, to get housing. It is also advisable to arrive quite early enough in order not to miss the available apartments or rooms.

“A Liberal Program”

Wei-Wei W

Sweden, Graduate
Design (Fashion, Graphic, Industrial, Web), 2018

Overall

This Masters program is under Media Studies, and comprise several interdisciplinary courses such as history, quantitative methods and industry. However, the faculty is changing yearly and therefore the teaching quality isn't stable. It is recommended that students who are enrolled in can have practical knowledge as there is no design skill oriented courses in the curriculum. The thesis writing is fully independent with your own interest, without project-based options.

Pros

The curriculum is varied and students are given freedom in own research

Cons

Requires student's personal skill and knowledge in fashion industry, especially in design

Personal comments

The courses wore given in English, so it has easy to follow up, on the other hand, swedish is not a easy language to a south european, so natives spoke English with me. I think that they didn´t mind at all.
