Do you want to use design to make a difference in the world? Then this is the right degree for you. The bachelor’s program in Design + Change combines design creativity with knowledge of sustainability for a profession at the cutting edge of design.
The most important challenge of today and in the future concerns sustainability – to create a world that is good for both people and the environment, locally and globally.
Bachelor of Fine Arts
The main field of study: Design
Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in the southeast of Sweden. We are located in two nature-loving cities, one by the Baltic sea and one surrounded by lakes in the greenest city in Europe. More facts about Linnaeus University:
Doesn't design already imply change? Yes, through design we give form to new products (and books, campaigns, services, systems, and much more). Through these, we also shape and change behavior, attitudes, and even worldviews.
Today it is both formally and globally recognized that the state of both ecological and social systems is critical. We also know that human activities – and not least design, and its associated overconsumption – drive unsustainability.
With + Change, we want to emphasize the very potential of design to affect change and extend it. Change comprises different degrees and perspectives on change, such as adaptation, evolution, and revolution. To affect change through design can be about initiatives directed at products, systems, or worldviews. We can choose to use design to affect change locally, regionally, or globally, with a focus on ecology, economy, human health, and equality, or all of this simultaneously. Altogether + Change is about purposefully using design, and its inherent creativity, in order to achieve changes toward the future of sustainability.
Roughly 15 minutes by bike from the city center, you will find Linnaeus University’s campus. It is like a small society with a university, student accommodation, and student life. Here you become part of a creative knowledge environment.
What will you come across on an excursion in Växjö – the city of contrasts? You will find good restaurants, a celebrated hockey team, and cozy cafés where you can enjoy a latte with lingonberry flavor. In Växjö, beautiful nature is always just around the corner; the city is surrounded by lakes and forests. Students like the combination of the city center and the active student life on campus. Your dream of the future starts here!

Studying abroad is more than just getting an education. Studying means making new friends, learning about a new culture, falling in love, building a career, learning a new language, getting a bicycle, and becoming part of a community. Linnaeus University is full of life. Choose a university where life is possible.
University life has much to offer, from meeting up with friends at the student pub to attending events and cultural activities. The student union and the student associations are doing their best to make you feel at home.
Quality leisure time is important when you are a student. If you find joy and fulfillment in your student life, you will gain extra energy for your studies. You will not find it difficult to find something to do. Students are great at organizing fun-filled competitions, parties, concerts, and trips.
If you also take the opportunity to get involved in the student union or in other extra-curricular activities, you can gain useful skills and experiences which may prove invaluable when applying for a job later in life.
The Linnaeus Union works to ensure that you receive the best possible education but also aims to offer enjoyable activities besides your studies. There are a number of student organizations and clubs at the university that offer a wide range of leisure activities for students.
ESN (Erasmus Student Network) is the biggest student organization in Europe. It consists of a network of local sections organizing events for students going abroad to study, and also local students. The ESN sections at Linnaeus University are ESN Kalmar and ESN Växjö (VIS). Both sections organize local events such as barbecues, sports activities, and theme nights with typical Swedish traditions represented, as well as trips within and outside Sweden.
The buddy program
The buddy program matches international students with (mostly Swedish) students. The buddies help the international students with day-to-day questions, introducing them to Swedish culture and way of life as well as what it is like being a student at Linnaeus University.
There are around 70 student associations at Linnaeus University, where you as a student can participate in a range of activities. Check out the student associations.
Maybe you prefer sporty events, playing music in a student orchestra, movie sessions, singing, or be engaged in writing about subjects that affect you as a student? Be active in student life is an opportunity to meet new friends, be able to develop yourself in one of your interests, and work together in a team with people who love doing the same thing.
As a student at Linneus University, you will get intercultural perspectives through both teachings, interaction with international students, international course literature,e and guest professors from other countries. In this way, you will broaden your horizons and welcome challenges and different perspectives of both yourself and your surroundings. International experiences make you grow academically, personally, and professionally.
