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. Foreign and Danish full degree students are mixed in class.
MA: Architecture in Urban Context (study department 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: Industrial Design in Architectural Contexts (study department 11)
The Master’s Programme in design is based on Scandinavian design tradition and methodology of furniture- and industrial design, with emphasis on design of components within a spatial context:
- 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.
MA: Architecture, Process and Project Development (study department 3)
The Master’s programme consists of four semesters, which combine to meet the Study Department’s objective of graduates being able to function professionally in multi-faceted interplay with the world that surrounds the architectural profession. The first two semesters introduce two different networks, which together influence the architect’s possibilities of acting and creating top quality architecture. One of these is the city’s complex network, and the other is production networks based on the actual materiality. The third semester follows up on the core concepts of Process and Project Development – as an introduction to the graduation project.
- First semester: The City and Its Complex Programmes
- Second Semester: The Architecture of Material, the Material of Architecture
- Third semester: Process and Project Development
- Fourth semester: Diploma Project
