Welcome Dear Student, Today’s world evolves rapidly and we can all see how quickly things develop and shift. For you and your generation, that creates real challenges, but also exciting opportunities. Does your future career even exist today? What skills and experiences do you need to prepare for the fast-changing future ahead of you – both in terms of your professional and personal aspirations?

We are constantly working with our curriculum and all that we do within our classes to ensure that they will be intellectually stimulating, thought-provoking, and will help you build new skills and perspectives to prepare you for your future. We might not know what the world will look like, but we do know that the world will be increasingly inter-connected and that you belong to a truly global generation. The DIS model will prepare you for that reality. Europe will be your classroom – whether you are debating cross-cultural dilemmas in class, networking with local experts on a Field Study in Stockholm or Copenhagen, or building your knowledge on contemporary global issues or advancements on a course-integrated Study Tour. I hope you will spend your summer with us in Scandinavia and engage in this unique academic experience abroad that will continue to inspire the professional and personal life choices that will shape you and your future.

Course Descriptions Active Citizenship in Denmark Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Anthropology. Political Science. Sociology. Denmark is renowned for a strong civic society characterized by equality and social trust, but this is never a given. Democracy depends on citizens to actively engage in society. In this course, we discuss civic responsibility, social cohesion, and the importance of active citizenship and learn alongside Danish students by visiting the community of Danish højskoler - unique living and learning communities characterized by a high level of engagement and enthusiasm. Activism: Gender, Sexuality, and Race Session 1. 3 Credits. Stockholm. Anthropology. Gender Studies. Sociology. Together, we examine the activism of social movements on gender, sexuality, and race in Scandinavia. The course offers a theoretical introduction to the concept of identity politics and empirical insights into activism and social movements in a Scandinavian context. As contemporary political issues related to inequality for minorities are interconnected with activism, this course also engages in organizing an event with a Stockholm-based LGBTQ organization. Hands-on experience with activism embodies a more theoretical understanding of who we are, which enables you to critically reflect on what role collective action plays in social change. Architecture Design Studio Session 4. 6 Credits. Copenhagen. Architecture. Design. In this studio you engage in an exploration of Danish and Scandinavian design practice through challenging assignments addressing real sites and issues in and around Copenhagen. Studio groups combine students of different levels and backgrounds. This course is taught vertically, and expectations relate to you as an individual student. Prerequisites: Enrollment in a professional school or department of architecture or design. Two spatial design studios at university level. Additional Portfolio Needs: Examples of studio work in a portfolio to be submitted to studio instructor at the beginning of the semester. This will allow the professor to become acquainted with the design skills of each student. Corequisite: Visual Journal Architecture Foundations Studio Session 4. 6 Credits. Copenhagen Architecture. Design. Studio Art. You develop design skills through analysis of existing buildings and by solving realistic architectural problems in a Danish context. In studio projects, you construct spatial models in physical and digital media and advance your communication skills in expressing abstract concepts. Studios are taught vertically, combining students of different levels. Expectations relate to you as an individual student. Prerequisites: One drawing course at university level. Additional Portfolio Needs: Examples of studio work in a portfolio to be submitted to studio instructor at the beginning of the semester. This will allow the professor to become acquainted with the design skills of each student. Corequisite: Visual Journal Arctic Ecology Session 3. 4 Credits. Copenhagen. Biology. Environmental Science.

Behavioral Economics: European Case Studies Session 1. 3 Credits. Stockholm. Economics. Finance. International Relations. Behavioral economics rethinks the standard economic model of human behavior by integrating experiential and psychological research into economic theory. This course is based on behavioral economic theory and cases from Denmark and Europe, which examine the choices of individuals. Theoretical skills are developed through work with conflicting theories, and analytical skills by working with data on human choices in experiments. Prerequisites: One course each in macro- and microeconomics, and one course in either intermediate or advanced microeconomics, all at university level. Bicycle Urbanism Session 3. 4 Credits. Copenhagen. Sustainability. Urban Design. Urban Studies. This class examines the best ways a city can encourage and accommodate bicycle traffic in the present and future. The course uses Copenhagen as the main case study and examines how a city can integrate bicycling into urban planning and design. We look into the spatial components of creating a bikeable city, effects of bike use on health and environment, policies for developing bicycle infrastructure and programs, best practices in bicycle facility design and implementation, and implementing bicycle policies and plans in education, registration, finance, political, and public acceptance. The course includes a study tour to the Netherlands, which provides a platform for a comparative study of bicycle infrastructure and bicycle culture. Prerequisites: More than half of the classes will be spent visiting sites via bicycle, so confidence in cycling is mandatory. Bring a digital camera or camera phone. Child Development: Theory and Practice Session 3. 4 Credits. Copenhagen. Child Development. Education/Educational Studies. Human Development. This course takes departure in Scandinavian care, pedagogy, and teaching methods with a practicum immersion experience. By drawing on relevant research related to children, childhood, learning and well-being, you gain insight into the challenges and possibilities present when growing up in a social welfare society. This knowledge is translated to engage with children to understand Danish pedagogy in a hands-on context. Note: Bring a physical copy of your criminal clearance with you to Copenhagen from the U.S. (or your country of citizenship). Children in a Multicultural Context Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Child Development. Education/Educational Studies. Human Development. This course explores multicultural contexts for childhood in the Nordic countries. Based on readings and your experiences on field studies, the class investigates practices around ethnic diversity, childhood discourse, and multiculturalism in Danish education and social policy. The benefits and challenges of Nordic philosophies of education and early childhood are analyzed through perspectives on learning, multilingualism, and intercultural communication. Note: Bring a physical copy of your criminal clearance with you to Copenhagen from the U.S. (or your country of citizenship).

Children with Special Needs Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Child Development. Education/Educational Studies. This class challenges your ideas about ‘special needs.’ You are situated within the concept of Nordic pedagogy in order to examine the topics of inclusion and quality of life within the Danish social welfare system. For example: How does the school or the child contribute to educational challenges? With your class, you discuss, research, and try hands-on specialized pedagogical approaches and training methods. From a Nordic perspective, the concept of ‘special needs’ is examined through issues of inclusion, quality of life, and outside relationships. While this course does focus on ‘special needs’ in a broad sense, it does not look at various diagnoses, or educational/psychological techniques employed for specific disorders. Note: Bring a physical copy of your criminal clearance with you to Copenhagen from the U.S. (or your country of citizenship). Climate Change and Glaciers Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Environmental Science. Geography. Geology. Glaciers and ice sheets play an important role in the climate system: Their bright surfaces reflect sunlight back to space thus keeping the temperature down, and when they melt or grow, it directly affects the global sea-level. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the past, present, and future behavior of glaciers when addressing the topic of climate change. This course provides you with a basic understanding of glaciers and their role in the climate system. You will learn how glaciers interact with their immediate surroundings and how large ice bodies can act as an archive of past climate change. We will use data from the study tour regions as case studies in the classroom as well as on the study tour. Prerequisite: One mathematics course at university level. Communication and Conflict: A Cross-Cultural Perspective Session 3. 4 Credits. Copenhagen. Communication. Media Studies. Rhetoric. In a globalized world, communicating across cultural divisions has become a necessity, and yet, increasingly, we see ethnic tensions and hostilities being fanned by miscommunication and fears of ‘the Other’. Across Europe, the specter of nationalism and ethnocentrism threatens European unity, while states struggle to integrate immigrants and minorities. Using methodologies from fields as diverse as communication, anthropology, and cultural studies, this core course asks a fundamental question: how can societies communicate to maximize understanding when polarized by religious, ethnic and national differences? Corporate Social Responsibility: Business or Ethics? Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Business. Environmental Studies. Management. This course involves a study of the ways in which different actors address sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The main focus is on Scandinavian corporations and their responses to demands and expectations from stakeholders, such as governments, NGOs, investors, and consumers. This entails looking at how corporations can design their business model and strategy in order to maximize shared gains between the corporation and the society in which it is embedded. Cross-Cultural Psychology Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Ethnic Studies. Psychology. This course examines psychological research findings, theory, and methods related to the study of human behavior and experience as a function of culture. Culture is interpreted to include ethnicity and social class, but may also include other factors. We examine the influence of culture on such psychological domains as: basic perceptual and cognitive processes, human development and family processes, and issues in social, personality, clinical, and abnormal psychology. Prerequisite: One psychology course at university level.

Course Descriptions Development and Programming of Serious Games Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Computer Science. Mathematics. By applying technology and design theories of game development to non-game context, serious games allow us to educate, inform, advertise, and motivate. They can help us increase productivity, understand problems or even learn completely new skills. This course will give you an overview of game design theory as well as a hands-on explorating to the specific programming and design challenges that come with the development of serious games. Prerequisites: One year of computer science and one calculus course at university level. Knowledge of at least one programming language such as Java, C#, C, C++, or JavaScript. Enemy Within: Spies and Espionage in the Cold War Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. History. International Relations. Political Science. Espionage organizations play an important role in modern society. They aim to provide security from terrorism, among many other things. But how did these organizations come into being, and how have they developed over the years? Who are the people staffing them and what do they actually do? This course introduces you to the objectives and effects of intelligence and espionage throughout modern history. We look back in history to where it all began, and we assess the rising importance of the intelligence communities and organizations in modern societies. Entrepreneurship Practicum Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Business. Entrepreneurship. Leadership Studies. This practicum course is a corequisite of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe. Between the two courses, you are placed at a Danish start-up and experience first-hand what challenges young companies are struggling with in getting their products and services to market. This practicum focuses both on the specific challenges faced by your assigned start-up, and its competitors in their respective spaces, but also very much on your own personal journey into the entrepreneurial lifestyle. Furthermore you have the opportunity to build a network in Denmark, and to transfer some of your learnings and observations to the venture that you are building in the course. Corequisite: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe Note: This course runs in both Session 1 and Session 2, and it is mandatory to enroll in both Sessions. Each Session is 3-credits. Environmental Philosophy Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Environmental Studies. Philosophy. Sustainability. To understand the current climate crisis is to ask the question of man’s responsibility for nature. The course approaches environmental issues and sustainability from Scandinavian and philosophical perspectives. Experience first-hand how Danes answer these challenges in various ways as we visit a sustainable farming commune a wind farm and a coastal nature reserve. Throughout the course, we relate our findings to current discussions of sustainability and the ethical implications of our modern day lifestyle. European Clinical Psychology Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Human Development. Pre-Medicine/Health Science. Psychology. This course is a study of clinical psychology with a focus on the way we approach the field within a European context. The course covers the origins of European clinical psychology, cultural and ethical issues, as well as different psychotherapeutic schools. The focus throughout the course is on adult mental health. Prerequisite: One psychology course at the university level.

European Genocides Session 3. 4 Credits. Copenhagen. Ethnic Studies. History. Human Rights. The Nazis went through a series of steps in their attempt to destroy the European Jews, moving from mass shootings to increasingly sophisticated application of gassings. Tracing this development, we study perpetrator profiles, victim strategies, and the role of bystanders. Looking at political and social aspects of the aftermath of the Holocaust, we focus on the role of the former killing sites in today’s Poland, as well as the international community. We discuss former concentration camps as both museums and memorials. Food and Identity Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. History. Sociology. Food has always been closely linked to identity, but in the past two decades, it has also become the focus of a host of issues that reflect cultural, social, and even political values. In this course, we look at the nexus between what you eat and who you are by focusing on food culture in two countries: Denmark and Spain. Each has a deeply-rooted culinary tradition that was shaped by geography, religion, and demographics. In recent years each has also shot to the forefront of the gastronomic world, producing a distinctive kind of cutting-edge cuisine (‘molecular gastronomy’ in Spain; ‘New Nordic’ in Denmark), that has turned its chefs into celebrities and its restaurants into the objects of international pilgrimage. In this course, we examine what the impact that those changes, and others, have had on identity in each nation. Furniture Design in Scandinavia Session 4. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Architecture. Design. Industrial Design. You examine history, theory, key works, and current expressions of Scandinavian furniture design. The lecture course also exposes you to the history of manufacturing in post-industrial Scandinavia. Current and historical conditions of furniture design are presented along with the underlying design theories and methodologies. ‘Golden Age’ designs from the middle of the 20th century are studied alongside trendy ‘New Nordic’ designs of today. Fundamentals of furniture design, such as scale, dimension, and proportion are presented along with the fundamentals of the production of furniture, whether it be the craft approach or the modern business based and industrialized approach. Corequisite: Furniture Design Studio Furniture Design Studio Session 4. 6 Credits. Copenhagen. Architecture. Design. Industrial Design. Scandinavian furniture design has a deep history of considering people, culture, and society in design development. The course gives you the opportunity to explore this particular relationship and to grow your individual design capabilities through studio assignments, lectures, field studies, and workshop activity producing your own furniture prototype. Prerequisites: Enrollment in a professional school or department of architecture or design. Experience with stationary power tools and hand tools. Additional Portfolio Needs: Examples of studio work in a portfolio to be submitted to studio instructor at the beginning of the semester. This will allow the professor to become acquainted with the design skills of each student. Corequisite: Furniture Design in Scandinavia

Gender, Equality, and Sexuality in Scandinavia Session 2. 3 Credits. Stockholm. Anthropology. Gender Studies. Sociology. Sweden is the most gender equal country in the world and legalized prostitution, paid parental leave for all parents, a high number of women in leadership positions, progressive sex education, and equal rights for homosexuals are among the hallmarks of all Scandinavian societies. However, Sweden also has a very gender-divided workplace and gender equal policies do not automatically lead to gender-equal behaviors. With a comparative look to neighboring countries in Europe, this course explores how concepts of gender, body, sexuality, and race intersect in current debates about changing family structures, children’s rights, and new ethical dilemmas in a changing Scandinavia. Graphic Design Foundations Studio Session 4: Architecture & Design. 6 Credits. Copenhagen. Design. Graphic Design. Studio Art. This course presents you with in-depth knowledge of, and professional skills within, the field of graphic design. The course develops your graphic sensibilities through analysis of existing examples of real-life visual identity, branding, and communication along with project-based studio assignments. You work with physical and digital media, and are challenged to use these media in each of your projects throughout the summer session. Studios are taught vertically, combining students of different levels. Expectations relate to you as an individual student. Prerequisites: One drawing course at university level. Knowledge of one or more programs in Adobe Creative Suite. Additional Portfolio Needs: Examples of studio work in a portfolio to be submitted to studio instructor at the beginning of the semester.

Course Descriptions Human Health and Disease: A Clinical Approach Session 1 or Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Biology. Biomedicine/Biotechnology. Pre-Medicine/Health Science. This course offers an introduction to the most important human diseases, their diagnoses and treatments, and to the clinical practice of physicians at a Danish university hospital. You are taught by several different physicians at different University of Copenhagen hospitals throughout the greater Copenhagen area. Prerequisites: One year each of biology and chemistry at university level. Note: Please be aware that the course does not provide regular medical training corresponding to that of medical students and does not include shadowing of doctors or physical examination of patients. Human Trafficking in a Global Context Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Anthropology. Human Rights. Legal Studies. Globally, human trafficking ranks among the most profitable criminal activities. It is also a violation of human rights. In this course, you gain an understanding of trafficking, including its extent in relation to other criminal activities, and its victims and perpetrators. You learn the most important elements of the legal and policy framework addressing trafficking at the European and international level. Guest lecturers who work on a daily basis with the issues help to nuance your understanding of the subject matter. Humanitarian Law and Armed Conflict Session 2. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Human Rights. International Relations. Legal Studies. This course is an examination of the laws of armed conflict and human rights laws and how they apply to contemporary cases. The course finds inspiration in current events, and enables you to analyze issues such as the war against ISIS, the use of drones, and cyberattacks in a legal context. You gain a thorough understanding of the legal aspects that regulate modern conflicts and understand how they interact with the political environment. Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe Session 1. 3 Credits. Copenhagen. Business. Entrepreneurship. Leadership Studies. The Nordic countries have over the past decade consistently punched above their weight in terms of successful tech start-up exits. In 2014, the Nordics alone had 53% of all European billiondollar-plus exits. This is particularly remarkable considering that these countries have small populations, only 7% of European GDP, and only 10% of invested Venture Capital in Europe. While the U.S. dominates the total number of billion-dollar-plus exits, the Nordic countries have the world’s highest ratio of these types of exits to GDP, which indicates an efficient ecosystem in creating really valuable companies. It is in this start-up ecosystem that you spend the summer developing a new venture, building on your experience in the Entrepreneurship Practicum course. Between the two courses, you learn to use some of the newest business development tools and methods, and are exposed to many of the main players in the start-up scene in Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Corequisite: Entrepreneurship Practicum Note: This course runs in both Session 1 and Session 2, and it is mandatory to enroll in both Sessions for a total of 6 credits. Interior Architecture Studio Session 4. 6 Credits. Copenhagen. Architecture. Interior Architecture. Interior Design.

Understanding Terrorism: Causes, Solutions, and Dilemmas Session 1. 3 Credits. Stockholm. International Relations. Political Science. Terrorism is at the forefront of current debates. The discourse on terrorism, however, is often simplified; disregarding important questions such as factors or root causes, potentially increasing political conflicts and generating terrorism. This course aims to analyze and discuss questions such as: What are the main circumstances that provide the necessary preconditions for the emergence of various types of terrorism? What are the typical precipitants that trigger terrorist campaigns? To what extent is it possible to reduce terrorism by addressing circumstances that have a tendency to generate terrorism?

Urban Design. Urban Studies. This course examines how contemporary visual urban culture and visuality in the public realm facilitate communication of political and societal values in a city. With Copenhagen and Berlin as our cases, we examine how a city integrates visual culture into urban planning and design. The course looks into spatial components of creating a visually democratic city, and the effects that street art, urban design, places of memory, and commercial interests, have on the identity. Does street art democratize the walls of the city? Or does it de-democratize them? How do cities remember? Who presents the loudest voice in a city? What makes a visual message in a public space be either inclusive or exclusive? This course investigates these topics, with a focus on how urban planning and policy can integrate and positively make use of the visual culture. Prerequisites: More than half of the classes will be spent visiting sites via bicycle, so confidence in cycling is mandatory. Bring a digital camera or camera phone.
