Danny Mallas Hyper Island Alumni working at Spotify

“Hyper Island values experimentation and failure as a learning method and brings students close to the industry, which is priceless.

I had an amazing time in this program. It was challenging, however, that was exactly what I was looking for deep learning experiences and non-conventional learning methods, as well as great connections and opportunities.”
