Berghs is awarded more than ever in this year's One Show

Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm consistently excels in creative education, landing more awards than ever at The Young Ones competition at The One Show. This year, Berghs' students secured 35 awards: 13 pencils, 3 cubes, 3 portfolios and 16 merits, showcasing world-class creativity and innovation. The overall ranking in this year's global competition gives Bergh 4th place in the world among 140 schools.

Yesterday, Berghs students soared to new heights, clinching 35 awards in the Young Ones Student Awards in New York’s Sony Hall. Among these, they won 5 gold, 4 silver, 10 bronze, a record-breaking achievement for Berghs. The jury, consisting of 131 professionals worldwide, has reviewed thousands of submitted entries from students internationally. This underscores the ability to consistently challenge and explore, but also showcases their exceptional creativity and practical application of skills at a global level.

The One Club for Creativity exists to support and celebrate the success of the global creative community. It is a non-profit organization nurturing a more vibrant creative community. The Young Ones Student Awards supports the next generation's most promising up-and-coming international talent from across creative disciplines. 

- This success should first and foremost be attributed to the students themselves, they've spent countless hours working hard to put together their entries. Participating in global competitions allows us to assess our students’ creative caliber and craftsmanship. Berghs naturally feel pride and joy that our students are making such an impact internationally”, says Svante Ahlman, Program Director for Berghs Art Director/Copywriter program.

Berghs emphasizes “learning by doing” by providing students with knowledge and practical tools, then applying these in real-world scenarios. This Action-Based Learning approach in combination with having industry professionals as instructors, ensures the content is linked to current industry practices. 

- What an achievement by our students! At Berghs, we are deeply committed to promoting a culture that values creative problem-solving. We embrace collaboration among students, disciplines, and the wider industry to ensure an impactful learning experience. Every award and achievement reflects our commitment to maintaining high standards over time,” says Camilla Wallander, CEO of Berghs.

Berghs has been recognized with 173 awards since the digital archive was set up eight years ago, consistently ranked in the top creative schools  even as the competition has grown from 40 to 140 schools. 

This highlights Berghs' dedication to nurture future creative leaders shaping the creative industry. Berghs has 11 full-time programs, of which four of them are possible for international students to apply for. New for this year are the programs: Content Engineering and Urban Designer.
