Berghs x Miami Ad School

Berghs School of Communication is excited to announce a brand new partnership with Miami Ad School. We are two top-ranked creative schools with a similar ethos, a common focus on communication and advertising, and very strong industry relations. And now we offer one program across two schools spanning Sweden and the United States. That’s everything you need to get into the creative industry!

In the past ten years, both schools have dominated international competitions such as Cannes Lions and the One Show Young Ones.

Now, you can combine Berghs and Miami Ad School in one program and study across two countries and two of the most creative schools in the world.

FROM BERGHS BACHELOR TO MIAMI AD SCHOOL'S PORTFOLIO COURSES

Your door to this unique Swedish/American study path is the Berghs Bachelor program. The program has been a gateway to international education for Berghs students for over twenty years. At Berghs, you’ll get a head-start and build a strong foundation in media, marketing, presentation techniques, and visual communication. As part of your foundation semester, you’ll choose one of four available specializations – Graphic Design, Copywriting, UX or Strategic Communication, and prepare for your journey abroad.

After an intense semester in Stockholm, you’ll be ready to spread your wings in the United States by continuing your studies at Miami Ad School. You can choose between three campuses (Miami, Atlanta, or New York) and portfolio programs (Art Direction, Copywriting, or Digital Photography & Video). Note that Miami Ad School's programs cannot be funded via CSN.

The programs include practical work, regular portfolio reviews, and an internship to get your career started. Moreover, you’ll forever be part of the alumni networks at both schools.

ABOUT MIAMI AD SCHOOL:

Miami Ad School is famous in the United States for offering young creatives practical training and direct connections with the creative industry.

A JOURNEY FROM SWEDEN TO THE USA

After successfully completing the Berghs Bachelor foundation semester in Stockholm, Sweden, you’ll be assisted in transferring to your destination of choice and studies in the US.

Via Berghs, you won’t be required to take any language tests, which are otherwise mandatory. You’re also guaranteed to transfer two full quarters of credits into Miami Ad School portfolio programs, speeding up your overall study journey. You’ll only have 6 quarters left to study in the US, approximately 1.5 years, and a practical internship awaits in quarter #8, the final quarter of your journey. 

IS MIAMI AD SCHOOL RIGHT FOR YOU?

Miami Ad School is different from all other destinations offered via Berghs Bachelor. It is not an undergraduate university degree, and it suits students who have more mature skills and a strong focus on creativity and advertising. Note that Miami Ad School's programs cannot be funded via CSN.

The Berghs/Miami Ad School journey does not offer you a University Degree but a practical education across two private schools. The journey suits students who may have already tried post-secondary studies, or who have some experience in the creative industries and want to pursue a creative career. Berghs and Miami Ad School offer you practical skills and industry networks in two countries. Note that Miami Ad School's programs cannot be funded via CSN.
