It is important that you are present at the campus until the end of semester and participate in all exams to obtain all your credits and grades. 

Limited Places

Due to a limited number of study places, please be aware that students applying for exchange are not guaranteed a place.

We often have more applications that the study places that we can offer to the exchange students. It is therefore important that the student shows interest and has a background in the specific study area and we strongly recommend that students target their portfolios and motivation letters to the study programme they are applying for.

Please note that partner schools can nominate the student for only one semester´s exchange at the Royal Danish Academy.

It is not possible to apply for extension of exchange period.

Applications to department of Crafts: Glass and Ceramics

It is only possible to apply for exchange in autumn semester to our department for Crafts.

Workshops

Exchange students will have access to workshops, laboratories and collections that are affiliated with the study programme they are admitted to.

In several of the workshops and laboratories, however, students are required to undergo an introductory course to ensure that the technique, craftsmanship and security are in order.

It is mandatory to wear safety shoes in almost all workshops.

Language Requirements

Applicants for our English programmes are not required to submit a TOEFL/IELTS test, however they are expected to have a high level of proficiency in English.

It is possible for non-Danish-speaking students to study Danish programmes; guidance can be given in English, however please be aware that the teaching is in Danish.

Accessibility for students with special needs

With regard to accessibility for students with special needs (e.g. wheelchair access), please note that due to the protected status of many of our buildings that special access is limited.
