Core Course Week, including short Study Tour, enhances the New Media and Changing Communities curriculum, as it allows you to experience how classroom theories are applied to various contexts. During a two-day seminar in Copenhagen and a three-day short Study Tour to Jutland, you will interact and collaborate with local communities to see how they use new media in innovative ways.
Core Course Week is supplemented with cultural visits to help you learn more about Scandinavian history and culture, as well as give you a more well-rounded understanding of the communities in which you are studying.
