Traineeships and study abroad

Our students work close to the real world in traineeships and industry, both in Denmark and abroad. Exchanges and internships offer a great opportunity to create new working relationships and gain experience: both for students, who take them on and for companies, who welcome them. We also provide a summer school for special topics.

Traineeships are an excellent way of gaining work experience and of collaborating with the schools’ wealth of business contacts. You can also go on an traineeship abroad. For traineeships within Europe, you have the option of applying for an Erasmus grant.

Please note: the possibilities for traineeships can be different depending on your studies – for more information, please contact studenterservice@kadk.dk 

Go on an exchange and meet the world
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts has many exchange agreements with schools and universities abroad. 

Summer school

Your knowledge doesn’t have to go on a summer holiday. In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School (CBS), KADK provide an international summer school, entitled Design-Led Innovation and Entrepreneurship, for students from both schools.
The summer school brings together graduate students from KADK and CBS and takes place over three intensive weeks with a final written exam. The summer school focuses on how various types of companies compete in design, and how design can help enhance companies’ positioning in various types of markets at the product, process and strategic levels.
