  • Konstfack University is the largest university college of arts, crafts and design in Sweden. Each year, almost 1,000 students are enrolled in Bachelor and Master programs, Teacher Education programs and Professional courses.

    In 2004, Konstfack moved to Telefonplan, just south of the Stockholm city centre. The campus is located in the former Ericsson telephone factory, which has been converted into a modern design school.

    Each student has access to an individual workspace, a computer lab and fully equipped studios and workshops. Guided by distinguished teachers, guest professionals and theoreticians, students lay the foundations for their own artistic development.

  • Stockholm is the capital of Sweden with a population of 1.8 million. Known as a safe and clean city, it is located between the Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, offering incredible views of the water.
    In Stockholm the activities are abundant, you can fish in the centre of the city, sail in the summer, and ice-skate in the winter.
    Stockholm is an innovative hub where new attractions are constantly emerging. It is the heart of Swedish trade and business with many of Sweden’s multinational corporations based there.

  • There is probably no other art and design university college in Europe with such well-equipped workshops as Konstfack. These include computer labs, woodwork and metalwork shops, screen-printing and textile printing facilities, a weaving room, a colour workshop, a graphics workshop, photographic and TV studios, glassworks, a ceramics workshop and studios for sculpture and painting.
