For the love of learning
At DIS, we bring people, cultures, and perspectives together to develop engaged global citizens through the power of study abroad. While our work is dedicated to students’ learning, we consider ourselves a learning organization as well.
We share a passion for where knowledge can take us, with staff eager to learn from one another and faculty pushing the boundaries of conventional educational norms in higher education.
In this video, you’ll hear from our Stockholm faculty on what makes DIS such a unique teaching environment.
A workplace that leads with trust and a freedom to create
Though we have been around since 1959, we are an agile workplace with an entrepreneurial spirit in our approach to work. We embrace creativity and think outside the box. Failures are seen as positive lessons learned.
Collaboration and trust are the foundation of our interactions. We place faith in each other and our collective ability to deliver quality and meaningful work.
Where you can come as you are
We are proud of an organizational culture in which we are encouraged to be our most authentic selves.
Our differences and complex identities are seen as assets to the organization. We celebrate diversity and believe that embracing a wide range of perspectives fosters creativity and innovation.
A one-of-a-kind learning environment
Essential to DIS is a community of exceptional faculty inspiring the next generation of engaged global citizens.
Our faculty have the flexibility to teach while pursuing their own careers – and to be creative in their instruction to build meaningful curricula for their students. They take learning beyond the classroom, using their own professional expertise and experiential learning to bring their courses to life.
DIS office locations
DIS operates across three offices located in Denmark, Sweden, and the U.S. We are comprised of about 150 staff across these three locations.
In Copenhagen and Stockholm combined, we additionally have around 40 full-time faculty members and over 300 part-time faculty members.
Within each office, we offer a hybrid work approach tailored to individual and team work styles. As digitalization makes global connection much easier, our tailored workplace approach not only gives employees the flexibility to work hybrid, but we also put significant time and resources into rethinking the way (and places) we work.
Copenhagen, Denmark
DIS Copenhagen is located in the heart of the historic inner city, where Copenhagen’s quaint village-like charm meets its reputation as a trendy, vibrant, capital city.
Our location is the same since 1959, with some significant workspace upgrades to meet the demands of the hybrid employee, including a café exclusively for staff and faculty, newly designed meeting rooms, workstations, and a meditation room – all designed to ignite creativity and foster meaningful connections at work.
Minnesota, U.S.A
The Minnesota office (‘North American Office’) is located in a vibrant neighborhood in St Paul, Minnesota in a renovated historic canning factory.
Minnesota has a strong Scandinavian heritage, making it easy to celebrate Swedish and Danish culture stateside. Our Midwest location also allows for accessible travel to our partner institutions that span North America.
Stockholm, Sweden
DIS Stockholm is located in one of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods, Östermalm, where we share a new and award-winning building with the Swedish Royal College of Music.
Modern architectural design meets historic charm in this neighborhood, and staff and faculty enjoy the creative energy of the workplace, heightened by the presence of music students in the building.
