DIS requires all students studying in Copenhagen to use the DSB app for transportation tickets. The app will allow you to purchase and use tickets across public transportation options throughout Denmark so that DIS will be invoiced for the following:
Your single tickets on public transportation to:
- The Copenhagen Airport or Central Station when traveling for Study Tour
- Field Studies
- Practicums, external university courses, or other courses held offsite from DIS
- All activities officially hosted by DIS, including academic and social events
Before your summer session begins, DIS will send you information about downloading the DSB app so that you can get started.
