The Royal Danish Academy builds on strong traditions within the three subject areas - Architecture, Conservation and Design. The academy strives towards the preservation of culture and nature, and the design of physical objects and environments to internationally recognised standards.
The education at the Royal Danish Academy is based on a combination of theory and practice. A substantial part of the teaching takes place at the drawing board and in workshops, and in joint presentations and academic seminars in small units of teachers and students.
Many of the teachers come directly from the business community and practice. For instance, architecture has approx. 120 and design approx. 80 parttime teachers each term who lecture for a short or longer period of time in addition to their work in practice and in the business community.
