Architecture

As an exchange student you can apply for courses from the School of Architecture, provided you meet the prerequisites. 

Please note: Some courses are very popular and not all students can be admitted. If you want to be eligible for your second choice – make sure that you have submitted a portfolio that covers that subject area as well.   

• A BA degree or three years of studies in Architecture.
• Submission of following documents: a digital portfolio showing your best design works in architecture, a statement of purpose, and your CV.

Portfolio instructions

Create a neat, clear, and effective portfolio:

• It should reflect the scope and variety of your previous training. Submit a work that represents your personal interests and abilities.
• Include a brief description of the context in which each work is created to provide a clearer understanding (e.g. assignment settings, main objectives, requirements, prerequisites, design concept etc.) The portfolio should show how you carry out your research, explore a design project, and develop your ideas.
• If a group work is presented, indicate clearly the role that you played in the project. If professional work is presented, indicate clearly your contribution to the project.

Digital portfolio requirements

• Must be submitted as a PDF file not larger than 10 MB.
• Include a statement of purpose (one-page maximum) describing your reasons for applying to exchange studies at the School of Architecture and your CV.
• The file names must include your name.
• If possible, assemble all your projects into one portfolio file. If you must send more than one file, add a sequence number before the ".pdf" extension.

• Check the Elective Courses from Programme A (24/25) (Course website LTH).
• You can select courses that have a check mark (✓) in the column with the portfolio/suitcase icon. This indicates that the course is open for exchange students.
• You are supposed to choose one design studio course (15 credits) together with the mandatory linked theory course (7.5 credits) and one optional course (7.5 credits).
