Hyper Island is actually pretty neat. They have schools in Karlskrona and Stockholm, the school is only 15 years old and their look on new media is as fresh as it can be. They have a unique way of teaching (if I even may use that word) and you work and learn in buildings you thought you would’ve never work and learn in. Putting all this together makes Hyper Island the place to be for new media lovers, and internet addicts. The problem is: you have to get in…
Just to give an impression, the roadmap to enter Hyper Island:
- Write the best motivation you have ever written!
- Collect all of your best work, and make the most wonderful portfolio you’ve ever designed!
- Call UPS and make them deliver your motivation and portfolio asap!
- Drive yourself nuts while you wait for your admission for a recruitment day…
- Go to Stockholm for the recruitment day without the admission…
- Call Hyper Island from your hotel room and ask if you are admitted…
- Wait a little longer…
- Get your admission and do the first victory dance!
- Go to the recruitment day, do the hardest interviews and tests you’ve ever done, and meet the most interesting people…
- Say goodbye the Stockholm and hope you’ll come back sooner than expected.
- Have the most horrible weeks of your life while you wait for your final admission at Hyper Island…
- Do your second and biggest victory dance ever when your get a mail that starts with “Welcome to Hyper Island!”
I’m at step 10 now, and I must say: the recruitment day was a unique experience.
