How do I build my semester with DIS?
DIS offers you freedom of choice when it comes to building your semester, allowing you to pursue your academic or personal goals in Stockholm or Copenhagen.

The first step in building your semester is to choose your Core Course. This is a signature of the DIS academic experience and includes two course-integrated Study Tours in Europe.

What is the difference between DIS Stockholm and DIS Copenhagen?
The main difference between DIS Stockholm and DIS Copenhagen is the size of the programs! Copenhagen welcomes around 1,300 students per semester whereas the Stockholm cohort is smaller with around 120 students per semester. This makes DIS Stockholm uniquely different from other higher institution programs, with a small and close-knit community.

Both DIS locations offer you an intellectually challenging curriculum that is broad, cutting-edge, and enriched by experiential learning components, including faculty-led Study Tours across Europe. In both cities, you can choose between many different housing options, and join a welcoming community of other students as well as DIS faculty and staff.
