The MADE by the Opera House exchange program is delighted to invite UNSW students to apply for an exciting scholarship, focused on architecture, engineering and design in the built environment.

The Multidisciplinary Australian Danish Exchange, or MADE by the Opera House, celebrates the special connection between Australia and Denmark first forged by Jørn Utzon’s masterpiece.

MADE by the Opera House is a collaboration between the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, with generous support from Arup, Steensen Varming, NSW Architects Registration Board and three Danish foundations: The Bikuben Foundation, The Dreyer Foundation and The Obel Family Foundation.

Each year until 2023, five Australian and five Danish students will each receive AU$6,000 to spend six weeks collaborating on a multidisciplinary project in Denmark and Australia respectively.

We encourage your students to apply by Thursday 9 July 2015 to be part of the Australian cohort in January-February 2016. The five successful students will be invited to attend an official MADE by the Opera House event, together with the existing MADE student alumni, on 21 August 2015.

This exchange extends the cross-disciplinary collaboration that gave birth to Australia’s most celebrated building into new generations, creating by our 50th Anniversary in 2023 a living legacy of 100 MADE alumni with a deeper understanding of international practice across disciplines and hemispheres.

Please find all Application information and Key Dates here.
