The School's two-year Master's programme offers a choice between a Master’s in 'Architecture in urban context' or 'Design in architectural contexts'. The programmes are taught entirely in English and start in September each year.
MA: Architecture in Urban Context (dep. 2)The Master’s programme in architecture is based on the Danish tradition of holistic, social architecture with an emphasis on field work, self-study and scale-gliding.
Inner-city field work seeks to explore how local culture has manifested itself in different types of dwellings and everyday life as it unfolds in a particular city. By immersing oneself in self-study, the aspiring architect develops an independent viewpoint relevant to the field of architecture. Within the framework of scale-gliding, the student develops architectural coherence by means of simultaneous studies across various scale steps.
The studies encompass systematic usage of the workshop during all project phases, as well as regular reviews and critique sessions.
MA: Design in Architectural Contexts (dep. 11)
The Master’s Programme in design is based on Scandinavian design tradition and methodology, with an emphasis on design within a spatial context.
The programme has the following components:
- First semester: Mega design - design elements in landscape
- Second semester: Furniture 1:1
- Third semester: Design in urban space
- Fourth semester: Self-programming – Master’s project in the field of architectural design
The programme emphasizes collaboration with other educational programmes and corporate partners. Students alternate between drawing table-based instruction, lectures, self-study/study groups, and workshop phases.
