What’s it like to study design as an international student in Sweden?

In this episode of Fika with us, we sit down with Natalia, a Master’s student in Design at Linköping University, specialising in Visual Media Design. We talk about what the programme is really like, from studio projects and interactive visual environments to working across disciplines and campuses.

Natalia shares her experience of adapting to the Swedish education system, the balance between independence and collaboration, and how informal the relationship with teachers can be. We also get into student life in Linköping and Norrköping and navigating the social side of studying abroad.

If you’re curious about design, immersive media, or what it’s actually like to be an international student at LiU, this episode is for you.
