  • Meet @erikssonq. She attended @tibblegymnasiumcampustaby before starting at Berghs. Below she shares her thoughts on the Berghs Bachelor Program:

◼ What made you choose to take the Berghs Bachelor Program?
I wanted to do something creative and challenge myself in a new way. I was drawn to the hands-on approach, as traditional education has never really been the best fit for me. I also wanted the opportunity to experience a new culture and step outside of my comfort zone.

◼ What were you most nervous about before starting – and how did that turn out?
I was nervous about meeting new people, entering a completely new creative environment, and speaking English every day. Creativity can feel very personal, so sharing ideas with others felt a little intimidating at first. However, I quickly realized how supportive and welcoming everyone was, which made it much easier to feel comfortable and confident.

◼ How has your confidence changed since you did the Bachelor Program?
My confidence has grown tremendously. Being part of such a welcoming and supportive environment helped me become more comfortable sharing my ideas and trusting my creative abilities. I’ve also had the chance to meet so many inspiring and talented people, which has encouraged me to believe in myself and what I can contribute.

◼ What’s something that has surprised you about studying here?
I’ve been surprised by how fun learning can be when it’s done in a proactive and hands-on way. Working on real projects and learning by doing has made the experience much more engaging than I expected.

◼ Which Partner School and degree have you chosen and why?
I have chosen the Bachelor of Arts in Design at @domusacademy in Milan. I was drawn to the opportunity to continue studying in a highly creative environment, surrounded by people who are passionate about design and innovation. Milan is such an inspiring city, and it feels like the perfect place to continue developing both creatively and personally.

  • Meet @charlotte_carlesgb who attended the Advanced Portfolio Program during an exchange semester within her program with her home university in France 🇫🇷, @efap_officiel. Below she shares her thoughts on Berghs’ Advanced Portfolio Program:

◼ Can you share a little bit about your background and why you applied for the Advanced Program?
I applied for the Advanced Program through my school, EFAP, which gave me the opportunity to spend an exchange semester abroad as part of my final year. I am currently in my fifth year, completing a Master’s degree in Advertising Creation and Strategy.
When I discovered this program, I was immediately drawn to it because it perfectly complements my studies and my passion for creative  thinking in the advertising field. 

◼  What’s been the most valuable thing you’ve learned so far at Berghs?
The most valuable thing I’ve gained from this program is confidence, both in myself and in my work. Before Berghs, I tended to play it safe creatively. This program pushed me to take more risks, step out of my comfort zone, and truly stand behind my ideas. It also taught me how to elevate my work, look at it more critically, and not settle for the first good idea. That shift in mindset has been the biggest transformation for me.

◼  How does studying communication in Sweden different from studying in your country of origin?
Studying in Sweden has been quite different from my experience at EFAP in France. In France, the academic system tends to be more structured and framework-driven, there is a clear way to do things, and the focus is often on delivering the right answer.
At Berghs, the approach is completely different. There is much more freedom given to students, and failure is not something to be afraid of, it is actually encouraged as part of the learning process. If you take a risk and it doesn’t work, that’s okay, because that’s how you grow creatively. That mindset was quite new to me and honestly very refreshing.
It has pushed me to experiment more, to try things I wouldn’t have dared to do before, and to see my creative process as something evolving rather than something that needs to be perfect from the start.

  • Meet @hoijerfilippa. She attended @vrgjarlaplan and @beckmans_kvallsskola before starting at Berghs. Below she shares her thoughts on the Berghs Bachelor Program:
 
◼ What motivated you to apply to Berghs?
I chose Berghs because of the school’s connection with the industry and its action based learning. After talking to both alumni and people in the industry, I felt it was ”the place” where you can grow in your craft together with your network. Creating more real opportunity than in other schools. 

◼ How did your creative process or mindset evolve during the Bachelor Program?
My creative process before had a more artistic touch. After Berghs I have learned to apply it more strategically. Becoming more curated and mindful from brief to execution, resulting in a more efficient and collaborative workflow. 

◼ What have you learned about yourself since studying at Berghs?
I learnt that I am way more capable than I initially thought. My talent, passion and ambition, I now feel more confident about. Berghs really helped me harness that confidence!

◼ How would you describe the Berghs experience in three words?
Connected, Creative, Empowering!

◼ What are your future career aspirations?
My future aspiration is to pursue a career in art/creative direction, at one point having my own agency. I am still very open toward what industry, whether it’s fashion, design or classic advertising. I look forward to continuing the journey of discovering my niche. Only time will tell what happens next!
