Course General Description

The Master’s degree programme in Art and Architecture aims at creating a distinctive pivot and a visible context for artistic research practice in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture. The objective is to enhance architectural and artistic reflection in the preparation of proposals on the basis of work, which, on one hand, confronts significant issues for the profession and, on the other hand, is more concrete and poetic. The focus of the KKA Master’s degree programme is the development of graduates, who can practise independently at a high architectural level.
