Semester Curriculum Updates

New DIS Research Opportunities!

DIS is expanding our opportunities for your students to pursue undergraduate research abroad. They can join ongoing research projects as Research Assistants, join a professional research group, enroll in a research lab, and even drive their own independent research projects.

DIS Opens New Kollegiums

As student housing becomes increasingly hard to find in Copenhagen and Stockholm, DIS has strategically moved towards opening our own Kollegiums throughout the city, with the goal of giving back to our local communities as well as ensuring DIS students have the opportunity to meet local students in their housing.

We will be opening Nimbus Kollegium in Copenhagen in the spring semester of 2018, as well as the Studentboende in Stockholm this fall of 2017. Langebro Kollegium opened in Copenhagen in the fall of 2016 hosting and has been a great success! All Kollegiums house approximately half DIS students and half local students, and quite a few local students have grown up in DIS homestays and share a passion of international exchange!
