Highlights
DIS is located in the heart of Copenhagen - Denmark's capital city, where students have access to great educational resources, all located within walking distance of the school: the main universities and research libraries of the country; parliament, government offices, European Union agencies, and the nation's Central Bank; the national museums of history, art and natural history; historic cathedrals and castles; marvels of modern Scandinavian architecture and design; the Royal Theatre; national media centers; and international company headquarters.

Courses are taught in English by Danish faculty who bring a European point of view and personal experience from research, government, management and the professions to the classroom. Their teaching is strongly enhanced by an extensive program of course-related field studies and study tours in The Balkans, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Turkey, Sweden, and the UK.

With the academic and personal growth and intercultural competence gained through your experience with DIS, you will be well prepared for the global job market of tomorrow. European immersion is strengthened by the cross-cultural experience of living with a Danish family, a Danish roommate, or with Danish students in a 'kollegium' (residence hall). In addition, the DIS curriculum includes courses which cannot be studied elsewhere, or which can be better studied in Copenhagen due to the academic and cultural resources available.
