About the programme
As Academy students from this master’s programme, you will graduate as a Master of Arts in Architecture or Design, with specific focus on prospective challenges and opportunities in a changing society.
As designers and architects, you have the ability to translate concepts such as circularity, sustainability, innovation or user understanding into concrete and tactile design and architecture proposals, that can help create actual change. Tackling ‘wicked’ problems that arise from complex challenges requires one to be able to work across disciplines.
This is why the entire programme is structured around project-based modules where you get to work with actual companies and organisations and real-world challenges, in collaboration with students of social science from Copenhagen Business School/CBS.
Collaborative projects are undertaken in groups of students from both The Academy and CBS, divided according to the profiles of the architecture and design students. The programme is specifically directed at facilitating the exchange of knowledge between design, architecture, and management into fruitful and constructive meetings through design thinking methods for innovation and entrepreneurship. With a point of departure in your professional field as a design or architecture student you will gain experience working within an interdisciplinary environment.
We place great importance on explorative ideation and the development of concrete material strategies and proposals, while at the same time honing ones written analysis, theoretical knowledge, and dissemination.
For Academy students, all project work is supervised by studio teachers within their specific branch of design and architecture.
