Study Form

On the architecture programmes, you will encounter many different teaching methods. You may already know some forms such as lectures, group teaching and workshops, and some formats such as drawing table teaching and reviews/critiques will be completely new to you.

Reviews/critiques are an important part of the education, where you present your project to a group of teachers and your fellow students. Everyone is expected to participate in each other's reviews, because you learn a lot from hearing your fellow students' proposals for the same assignment and participating actively in the discussions around the projects. You will often only have one teaching course at a time. Each course ends with an exam, which is often an oral assessment, but there is also teaching in theoretical subjects where you have to hand in a written assignment. Immersion, collaboration and project-oriented teaching are key keywords. The teaching spans courses that contain practical, academic and artistic elements.

A large part of the teaching is organized as project teaching, where you work on a project over a longer period, but you will also experience, for example, workshop or IT courses, where you must acquire some concrete knowledge that you can use in your projects subsequently.

The study environment is a central part of the education, in which it is important that you take an active part. You have your own place in the drawing room, where you spend most of your time. Here you sit together with your fellow students and this is also where you have individual guidance with your teacher.

You should expect to spend about 40 hours a week on your education. Of this, 10-15 hours are managed by your teacher. The rest of the time you work independently or together with your fellow students on an assignment or project.

Through the course, you will meet both your regular lecturers and a large number of external presenters and business partners, and many projects are made in collaboration with, for example, a company, a municipality, a manufacturer or the like.
