I studied at the university for 8 years.

What most people don’t know? None of what I learned I use today.

It’s been 15 years since I graduated, and I’m still paying off my student loan.

I took a diverse collection of subjects at university, and I met some great people. Nevertheless, I don’t use what I’ve learned during my 8 years of studying.

Who decides what we are learning?

You can always find counter-arguments.
“But Elin, you can choose which topic you want to study.”

Of course. However, exactly what you’re being taught in a class in university, you don’t decide. Your learning is at the mercy of what your lecturers find beneficial and exciting within the syllabus.

You can choose

Now it’s our turn to pick what you want to spend your time on. Digital platforms have changed our possibilities.

Our choices are infinite.

Where do you start?
