“DIS was by far one of the most life altering experiences of my life. My host family and DIS gave me the support I needed to develop wings to fly. It was the most liberating experience of my life.”
Ruchi Kumar, 2002 Alumni

Rediscover the magic of Scandinavia and rekindle your love of learning. Homecoming Tours take place every year in Copenhagen during the last week of June.

In 2026, we will also host a special Homecoming Tour for students who studied with the DIS Stockholm program, to celebrate it’s 10 year anniversary. More information coming soon.

Reenter the classroom from the comfort of your own home

The intellectual curiosity sparked at DIS doesn’t disappear once you return home.

Virtual DIS Talks, led by expert DIS faculty, are free events offered throughout the year where you can continue learning and gain you new perspectives on the grand challenges of our time. Topics span the DIS curriculum, so you can explore current geo-political challenges, Nordic parenting trends, climate change strategies, or Scandinavian design.

See what students are learning about today at DIS while connecting with your global alumni community wherever you are.
