Student life

As a student with us you should be prepared for an exciting and intensive study programme in an international and creative community. 

Life in and outside school

Daily schedule

The teaching at our bachelor programmes is a mix of lectures, group projects and individual work and self-study. Typically, you have lectures in the morning and individual or group work in the afternoons. You have your own workspace at the school and you have access to the school 24-7 to work on your projects.

Activities

At TAW, you will find a number of student initiated activities such as: Live drawing, TAW talks, parties, film screenings, yoga and film nights. We also have a yoga/relaxing room and a student lounge (Høgni) available for class dinners, lunch breaks or Friday bars.
  • Blending expertise: The synergy of permanent faculty and guest teachers

    Our permanent faculty members are dedicated professionals who provide stability and continuity in our programmes. They are deeply invested in the long-term success of our students and the institution. Their ongoing presence allows them to develop strong relationships with students. They teach and mentor our students throughout their studies, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our curriculum. 

    Complementing our permanent faculty, we regularly invite guest teachers who are experts in their respective fields. These professionals bring current industry insights, innovative practices, and real-world experiences into the classroom. Their involvement ensures that our students are exposed to the latest trends and developments, making their education relevant and up to date. 


    Theory and practice go hand in hand

    At our institution, we seamlessly integrate theory and practice to prepare our graduates for their future careers. Our bachelor programmes include theoretical lectures that are directly applied to practical assignments and projects, along with an extended internship period. This combination equips students with new knowledge and insights, providing a solid foundation for their professional journey. 


    Dialogue-based communication

    Our teaching style emphasises student responsibility and active participation. We foster strong connections between teachers and students, encouraging students to engage in lectures by asking relevant questions and challenging themselves, their peers, and their instructors. This exchange of ideas and knowledge benefits everyone in our learning community. 


    Learning methods

    Students play an active role in their education, taking responsibility for planning and executing projects independently or in groups. They also learn to work in multicultural teams, with teachers serving as supervisors to guide them through the learning process. Project-based learning is a cornerstone of our educational culture, placing significant individual responsibility on students while ensuring they stay on track with the support of their teachers. Collaboration and teamwork are essential, as students work closely with one another to achieve their goals.
