AT HYPER ISLAND THERE are “no teachers, no books, no classrooms, no homework, and no computers,” says Hyper Island CEO Mattias Hansson. Students only work on real case studies for actual companies, and instead of typical classes, the school brings in guest lecturers (nearly 400 a year) from companies such as Pixar and Apple. All diploma programs are taught in English, and the school actively recruits international students, holding quirky interviews and tests for applicants around the world.
