The aim of the Doctoral School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture is to educate researchers at the highest level in interaction with the rest of the research community – nationally and internationally.
Enrolment at the Doctoral School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture is offered to graduates from Danish or foreign schools of architecture or other related institutions of education. The Doctoral School aims to educate researchers to provide them with qualifications that enable them to fill the need for a qualified workforce for research, development and education at schools of architecture, universities, public and private institutions, organisations, companies and the architectural profession. The PhD-programme primarily takes the form of active research work under supervision, supported by thematic courses.
The Doctoral School at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture contributes to a higher quality of exploration of the dialogue between the architectural development work within the school's subject fields and science by offering a PhD-researcher programme at the highest level, based on the school's research environments and their active dialogue with the international research community.
The research environments study the encounter between
- methodology and materiality;
- research process and presentation of proposals;
- planning and society, and
- science and visuality.
In this context, the Doctoral School aims to contribute to ensuring that visionary architectural proposals are supported by knowledge at the highest international level, communicated with artistic nerve by offering stays within leading international environments and offering courses with particular focus on issues concerning exchange between several different scientific fields.
The Doctoral School offers supervision and education related to all scales from component design to urban planning and by inclusion of both technical and aesthetic issues, rooted in the international research environments at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. It is characteristic of all of the Doctoral School courses that they do not only concern a specific object field, but also reflect that which is conceptual, model-forming: Based on analyses of relevant reality, proposals for change are elaborated – and it is particularly characteristic of the Doctoral School to strive for the presentation of proposals, the model-formation that is rooted in both scientific insight and artistic experience.
