"Design is in everything we make, but it&s also between those things. It&s a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy." Erik Adigard
Umeå Institute of Design was selected as one of the global top 18 design schools in the world by Psdtuts+ with the motivation "This Swedish institute has a multitude of interesting design orientated classes and is renowned as the best art school in all of Sweden. The institute was even featured as one of the best design schools in the world 2 years running by BusinessWeek. Only about 14 students are accepted annually to their bachelors program so this is definitely a hard school to get into, but you won&t regret it if you do."
