People are saying that  "There are some serious complaints about the faculty, administration, and organization at the KA"

That would be me. *waves*

It really depends on what kind of education you are looking for.

If you value things like:

• Speaking with your design tutor more then 3 times a year
• Not having to constantly deal with scheduling conflicts between required classes
• Having guest critics present at your final presentations
• Having a room to present in for your final presentations
• Diversity of opinion and approach
• Working with open-minded and inspiring people
• Attending lectures and events related to your design projects
• Receiving timely guidance and constructive criticism
• Having an active share in student union activities
• Being able to understand the school intranet because it's in your language
• Receiving school-wide information about events and services relevant to you in English

Then I would not recommend going to Kunstakadamiets Arkitektskole.  

Email me if you want specific examples of the buttcraptonne worth of BS you will have to wade through if you want to go to this school. archsynth@gmail.com

As far as I know there are no English-taught programs in the Netherlands. There is the AHO in Oslo, and the University of Lund in Sweden... they have a master of sustainable urban design (not architecture). 

Hey just to clear up one thing Stephanie, there is an English program in Holland at TU Delft; in fact its the biggest architecture program in the world I think (approx. 3000 students).

For some reason Wikipedia is saying that it grants an M.Sc. Arch, but I seem to recall that they do have the professional M.Arch there too. Best to call if you're interested, Milk.

Right! I forgot about TU Delft. And yes, it is huge. I went to visit the school when I was working in Amsterdam (this was after their building burnt down...). Applied there but my work was not 'experimental' enough (but hey, at least they were kind enough to provide a reason!)

I thought it was an M.SC.Arch, but back when I was applying to grad school they had very little information on their website. It's probably changed now :)

Best of luck

Hey Stephanie, not to hijack the thread but I was considering applying to TU Delft next year (if it is in fact an M.Arch) in the Public Building specialization or whatever it was called. Are they pretty driven towards experimental, far-out-there theses? I'm not adverse to that but I do take issue with the fact that if the supervising professor isn't the most guiding advisor, the degree could take forever to finish... Anymore insight you have on the school would be appreciated. (I'm Canadian but have strong dutch roots through Berlicum/Den Boss/Delft, hence the reason for possibly studying there).

BenC... it's a M.Sc. Arch.  And that IS the professional degree in Holland.

Hey Stephaine! Thanks s lot for your information. This is clear that KA is not one of my choices now hahaha (somehow "cheated" by their website's information...). 

Ya, you mentioned AHO, that is one of my choices too, together with TU Delft. Though AHO does not have a high reputation in Europe (please correct me if I am wrong), their programmes interest me. And seems like students get a lot of chances to explore. You know anything about it?

Hum... since KA is not an option, how about the Aarhus School of Architecture in Denmark?

Thanks a lot for all your help!

@milk: I have friends at Aarhus. One of them is doing her thesis right now. There is no official taught English program but she is always telling me that there are international students doing degree work there. So who knows, maybe it is a possibility. Contact me if you want her info to ask about the program. I get the feeling they have a lot more going on for them and Aarhus is a nice city (not as much going on as CPH, but nice).

@BenC: I don't have that much insight unfortunately! There was an exchange student from TU Delft in my first year masters, maybe I can put you guys in contact. I get the feeling it's a bit like McGill in terms of technology, but yes, also somewhat experimental. e.g., http://www.thewhyfactory.com/. 

@ stephaine: it would be great if I can get in touch with ur frds in Aarhus to know more. Would you mind giving me her/his contact? Thanks a lot!

a friend of mine studies at studio hani rashid at the angewandte in vienna (university of applied arts). they have a 3-year master program in architecture (m.arch). besides studio hani rashid, there are 2 other design studios - studio zaha hadid and studio greg lynn. wolf prix is the head of the insitute. the programs are small (between 40 and 60 students per studio) and taught in english. hani rashid took over the studio from wolf prix and is pretty motivated, there are weekly skype conferences and he come once or twice per month. since the angewandte is a public school (but with entry exam) the study fees are max. 380 euro/semester (depending on if you are eu-memeber or non-eu member or so but the study office should know that better).
since the studio is new, they are just building up their website, this is the address of the angewandte-webiste: http://www.dieangewandte.at:80/jart/prj3/angewandte/main.jart?rel=en&content-id=1229508257425&reserve-mode=active

is there any  good schools in germany for masters in  advanced architectural design other than SAC (frankfurt) ?

where can i find latest rankings for graduate architecture schools in europe ?

@milk,  happened to come across the page and by chance will you be still interested in AHO? i am a fresh graduate from the school. ;)

@itdoesntreallymatter: Hello. I am also interested in AHO. I have applied it as well. But I don't really know much about it. Can you tell me more about the learning atmosphere and teaching practice of school? Another concern for me is the language since I don't know Norwegian. I want to know if the language environment is not favorable to foreign students. Thx a lot.
