So what is Hyper Island? It may not be a physical place, but the two-year university course in Sweden has created a fully interactive and creative learning environment for students focused in digital media and business management. It is one of the most credible schools for Digital Media, Interactive Art Direction and Business Management in Sweden and they’ve recently opened their doors to the English-speaking population.

Their students constantly prove why the program is so successful by winning the latest digital media competitions. I’m certainly interested in how developed the projects are and it is evident that the projects make an immediate impact on the community around them. For example, in the video below, a Digital Media student discusses her latest project - Arvika DJ Camp. Arvika Music Festival is one of the largest music festivals in Sweden and the students were asked to create an intensive, interactive site that is a great example of real-world experience.

Here is the DJ Camp site for you to experience first-hand.

This video is one of ten videos being streamed across multiple blogs as well as on Hyper Island’s blog. I recommend checking out the independent student blogs as well which utilizes Yahoo’s Pipes.

Hyper Island is now recruiting to their Diploma Programs for English speaking people. You can visit their homepage and blog for more information.
