Our pedagogical approach is based on exploration, conceptualization and design. During the education the students are given written assignments linked to design and theoretical subjects and tasks. The pedagogical approach also includes discussions, presentations, critiques, literature studies and project assignments.
The teaching is research-based and some of the studio courses are closely linked to AHO’s research projects. This implies that the students need to be familiar with scientific writing, articles and literature. Research methodologies, ethics and results are explained and demonstrated as an integrated part of the teaching.
The study program counting 90 credits (ects) in addition to a master’s thesis (diploma) counting for 30 credits (ects).
The two years consist of both mandatory courses and elective courses. The masters thesis is an independent and self-selected task, but can also be undertaken in collaboration with an other student.
The education is ICT supported. Basic skills in digital tools are needed. Access to a private PC /Mac is also required. Adequate program training is offered as well as access to relevant licenses.
The digital communication platform Moodle is the communication tool between faculty and students. The Moodle platform handles schedules, study plans, submission of assignments, lectures, literature lists etc. Students are also given a special AHO e-mail address that is mandatory as a communication source between AHO and students throughout the whole study.
The students are offered the opportunity to spend maximum one term at another school. AHO has a wide variety of formal exchange and cooperation agreements which the students can choose among, among these the European Erasmus+ and the Nordic Nordplus progam. Separate agreements may be arranged although they must be pre-approved by the Committee for Access and Recognition (OGU) in order to be accredited as an inclusive part of the study.
