Pre-Architecture is specifically designed for students who do not have a background in Architecture and Design, but one in Fine Arts, Studio Arts or similar fields plus the necessary drawing skills. The AD program is open to students from professional schools and departments of architecture, landscape architecture, or design at the junior, senior and graduate level.
Admission is competitive.
You must either send or bring with you to Copenhagen two design projects of your own choice from previous studies within your major field of study. The AD facilities consist of lecture rooms, lounge and kitchen, reference library, staff offices, and studio space for each student, including drafting tables with lamps, T-squares or parallel bars. Note that drafting equipment, pens, paper, films, etc. are usually less expensive in North America and Australia than in Denmark. You are encouraged to bring your favorite materials to Copenhagen. Dates of the program correspond with the fall semester.
