Study Abroad Summer: Programs & Courses

Study abroad at DIS allows you to pursue a dream summer. You have the opportunity to engage and immerse while living in a new home. Courses with field components and extracurricular offerings are designed for you to maximize your time both academically and culturally. You can further your academic goals through a wide range of courses and explore Copenhagen through course related field studies (Session 1) and travel in Europe on a course integrated study tour (Session 2). Whether you choose Session 1, Session 2, or both sessions, DIS faculty and staff are committed to helping you meet your learning objectives through cutting-edge academic topics and your personal goals by thoughtful designed co-curricular programming and student services.

Option 1 - Build Your Own Program:
During the summer, you can build your own program by choosing one three-week, 3-credit course in either Session 1 or Session 2, or by choosing two courses (one from each session) and staying for a six-week, 6-credit period.

Option 2 - Architecture and Design:
Choose between Architecture, Furniture Design, Graphic Design, Interior Architecture and Urban Design programs, which are for seven weeks and 9 credits. There are also two related courses in Session 1, Design and Society in Denmark and Livability in the Modern City, which can be taken alone for 3 credits or combined with one of the later Architecture and Design programs for a 10-week, 12-credit summer stay.

Flexible Course Choice

Session 1 and Session 2 courses at DIS offer great flexibility in terms of length of study and course selection. You can choose just one three-week course from either Session 1 or Session 2, or you can combine one course from each session to create a six-week study abroad period. Around half of the summer students enroll in both sessions, spending six weeks in Copenhagen, while the other half take just one session.

If, however, you choose Architecture & Design, Furniture Design or Textile Design, these are fully integrated programs of seven weeks.

Picture

I studied Children with Special Needs in Session 1 and Positive Psychology in Session 2. A highlight and something I really enjoyed and benefitted from was the the practicum element. We were able to take the topics that we focused on in the classroom out into the real world. At DIS you’re not just learning in the classroom or reading text books - you actually get to go and interact with professionals."
