About DKDS
The object of Danmarks Designskole is to provide education within arts and crafts, design, and related fields and to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about methods and results within the professional field. The purpose of the design programme is to give the student technical knowledge, methodical ability, and professional competency in the design profession’s disciplines in preparation for occupation as a designer, including as a craftsman and as a creative leader.
On an artistic basis, the programme is to develop the student’s aptitude for aesthetics, innovative shaping, and problem-solving in an alternation between various concrete approaches focusing on the materials, so that the graduate will be qualified to solve concrete, theoretical, and abstract design assignments alike. The programme spans 5 years, divided into a 3-year basic programme and a 2-year advanced programme.
It is the object of DKDS to strengthen both general and specialist design research in Denmark, in compliance with the multiannual agreement with the Ministry of Culture concerning improved educational programmes, and the performance contract’s requirement that the design programme be raised towards university level in accordance with the Bologna Declaration’s 3+2 educational structure.
