From then to now
Mrs Putti Westerdal started Westerdals Advertising School in 1965. The basic idea was that the school would serve as a [stepping-stone to employment for young creators. In 2001, Westerdal School of Communication (WSoC) was founded after the merger of three independent schools: Westerdals Advertising School, School for Graphic Design and Wolff Advertising and Decoration School.
In 2010, Westerdals was ranked one of the world’s ten best communication schools in “YoungGuns Schools of the Decade”.
In 2011, Westerdals was established as a college, and is thus one of the few colleges in the Nordic region to offer bachelor’s degrees within a variety of creative communication disciplines.
Westerdals changes with time, but our goals and values are proud and steady. Students and teachers will always be highly committed and have up to date knowledge on an international level. Read more about our goals and values later on in this catalogue.
