Transferring between Stockholm and Copenhagen

Transfer between Stockholm and Copenhagen

While studying with DIS, you have the opportunity to discover Scandinavia by spending sessions in both Copenhagen and Stockholm during your summer abroad.

Q&A

Q: What if I want to travel between locations on my own?

A: DIS-arranged transport is optional. If you choose to transport yourself between locations, DIS will not cover the costs. You will need to make your way to your new housing location on your own once you arrive in your new host city. If you choose not to use the DIS-arranged transfer, you will not be able to check in to your new housing until the official arrival day for the new session. Please be sure to check your dates carefully and be at your new location by the time that the mandatory Arrival Workshop begins for the new session.

Q: What if I want to transfer with DIS, BUT I also want to travel that weekend elsewhere?

A: If you would like to travel with DIS to your new location, but also want to travel independently during this transition weekend, you are welcome to do so, but only after you have arrived at your new location. You should not plan travel on the day of transfer, and you will need to be back in time to attend the mandatory Arrival Workshop for the new session.

Travel Covered by DIS

DIS transports you between the two cities at the conclusion of your session, whether you start in Stockholm and head to Copenhagen, or vice versa. This transport applies to students who are studying within consecutive sessions.

The costs of this organized transfer are covered by DIS, and you get to stop along the way to explore, eat lunch, and acquaint yourself with fellow students who are also switching locations for the next session.

Transport Dates between Sessions

You can find the transport dates for your summer, as well as an overview of summer session dates, on the DIS Summer Calendar.

Arrival to Your New Scandinavian City

Once you have arrived in either Stockholm or Copenhagen, you spend the rest of the weekend settling into your new surroundings. Thereafter, the Arrival Workshop orients you to your new city, where you hear more about the local culture and customs. The Arrival Workshop is mandatory.
