It's amazing how, despite our diverse backgrounds, we've come together to form a tight-knit community that provides comfort and a sense of belonging.

What is fall in Scandinavia like?

Fall in Scandinavia is golden. From August to December, you'll experience warm, sunny days in the late summer, crisp afternoons in the autumn, and cozy, snowy nights in the winter.

For Stockholm and Copenhagen locals, fall is the time to reflect, recharge, and make time for the little things. As the seasons change and days get shorter, Danes like to create a warm ‘hygge’ atmosphere, whereas Swedes gather with family and friends for cozy ‘fika’ moments – and you’re invited!

Why DIS?

Whether you want to dive deeper into your major or explore a new passion, you can explore DIS' many courses and build your own semester.

In all of our courses, DIS prioritizes "experiential learning," which means you'll explore academic concepts outside the classroom through once-in-a-lifetime Field Studies and a week-long, faculty-led Study Tour in Europe.
