KEA – Copenhagen School of Design and Technology

KEA (Københavns Erhvervsakademi — Copenhagen School of Design and Technology) is a Danish professional academy combining design, architecture, technology, and business in a creative, applied curriculum. Founded in 2009 through the merger of several specialist colleges, KEA operates from campuses in central Copenhagen (Guldbergsgade in Nørrebro and Prøvestenen in Amager). KEA programs range from graphic design and UX to software development, architecture technology, and business management — all with a strong emphasis on real-world studio practice and industry collaboration.

KEA is one of Copenhagen's most internationally diverse professional schools, with 30% international students drawn particularly to its English-medium computing and design programs. The school has strong links with Copenhagen's creative economy — advertising agencies, architecture firms, and the growing Copenhagen tech scene. Professional bachelor graduates from KEA are eligible for the Danish 1-year Job Search Permit, and programs are recognized within the Danish educational framework with clear progression pathways to master's level at Danish universities.
