Students who have earned their full Bachelor’s degree in English are also exempted (documentation required).
Target group
Students with a Bachelor’s degree (or three years of studies) from a state-recognised Danish or foreign school of architecture may apply for admission. Foreign students are eligible for admission if their qualifications are assessed as being comparable to the Danish entrance qualifications. Due to a limited number of student places we are not admitting applicants who hold a Master’s degree in architecture.
MA Programmes
You may apply for two different Master's programmes:
a) Architecture in Urban Context
b) Design in Architectural Contexts
c) Architecture, Process and Project Development
The three MA programmes respectively can accommodate approximately 10 foreign students. There is an intense competion between international students to get admitted into these programmes. The School's Admission Board reviews the application materials of all applicants and is required to arrange the applications in order of priority as attendance is limited.
