About architecture education in Copenhagen
The architecture education Copenhagen gives you the opportunity to work with a wide range of tasks within architecture, planning, and design. As an architect, you work to create new spatial and sensorially engaging solutions for society as a whole.
Through your studies you are educated to conceive and design solutions with a particular focus on how architecture and construction can contribute to a more sustainable society. This may involve developing and applying new materials, or finding new ways to transform and reuse existing buildings and urban areas rather than building new ones. Architects play an important role in the green transition, and major societal themes such as welfare, globalization, urbanization, and digitalization form a central point of departure for the teaching you will encounter in the architecture degree.
You will be equipped to work with ethics, aesthetics, functionality, technology, culture, environment, and society in solving architectural tasks. You will also be prepared for a national and international career within the field’s areas of practice, including professional practice, research and development, communication, and teaching.
Each year, approximately 120 students are admitted to the four bachelor programmes in architecture in Copenhagen (in Danish).
