About the Program Sponsor: Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS)
Copenhagen, founded more than 800 years ago, combines the old-world
charm of its medieval origins with the vibrant life of a modern
European capital. Historic six-story buildings and scattered squares,
parks, and gardens—including the world-famous Tivoli Gardens—characterize
the city. Within the historical ramparts, the world’s largest
pedestrian district creates a lively downtown with cinemas, clubs,
and cafes. The world’s oldest monarchy, modern Denmark is also
a democracy and a welfare state, characterized by social equality
and a high standard of living.
Enroll in a wide variety of courses taught in English—from architecture and business to pre-med and social sciences—and enjoy exciting study tours to other sites in Europe. Study tour sites include Sweden, Russia, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Program facilities include a student lounge, library, computer labs, and architecture studios; program staff offer orientation, advising, and support. Live with a Danish family or Danish students in a residence hall and deepen your understanding of this warm and welcoming culture.
