as Your Home Stockholm
Study in the Heart of Stockholm
DIS Stockholm is located in one of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods, where we share a new and award-winning building with the Swedish Royal College of Music.
Island Hop Through the City
With 14 islands making up the city, each day brings a new adventure. Explore the bustling metropolis of central Stockholm. Meet friends for an afternoon fika at a quaint café in Gamla Stan. Pack a picnic and join other locals basking in the sun at your favorite overlook on the water.
History Meets Modernity
Stockholm is a city of new and old. You can venture to the city center and witness historical landmarks dating back to the 13th century, then easily find yourself in a hip nearby neighborhood like Södermalm, where historic architecture now houses some of the most well-known cafés, brands, and restaurants in Sweden.
Freedom to Roam
Grab a kayak or your hiking boots and enjoy the Swedish democratic concept that nature belongs to everyone. Kayak out to one of the 30,000 islands that stretch from the city into the Baltic Sea or head inland for a weekend hike in Sweden’s spectacular nature.
Time to Celebrate
Celebrated during the longest days of summer, midsommar is arguably the most important Swedish holiday of the year – and you are invited! You can also check out the many music festivals happening throughout the city, take a dive and join the Stockholm Swimming Festival, or treat your tastebuds at Taste of Stockholm.
Discover Lagom
The Swedes pride themselves on their sense of balance in life called lagom. This phrase applies across so many aspects of life – from the government prioritizing that both parents enjoy a generous leave with their children, to knowing just the right amount of guests to invite to a party to ensure a sense of coziness.
Study in the Heart of Copenhagen
Walk to class down cobblestone streets and past squares lined with cafés, castles, public gardens, and twisting spires dotting the skyline.
Build Your Network in an Innovative Capital
Copenhagen is the hub for politics, business, architecture, design, and research in Denmark — perfect for Field Studies that take you out of the classroom to meet local experts.
Explore the New Nordic Wave
Copenhagen is at the forefront of the New Nordic wave currently reinventing the aesthetics of urban design, architecture, and food. Dive into canals from the harbor baths, and commute to class on Copenhagen’s 400 km of bike lanes!
Discover Local Life
There’s always something happening during Danish summer! Look out for the design and architecture festivals, pop-ups and flea markets spread throughout neighborhoods, midsummer bonfires celebrating sankthansaften, or one of Denmark’s many summer music festivals… just to name a few.
Happiness and Hygge
Denmark is often rated the happiest nation in the world according to the UN’s World Happiness Report. Perhaps this is due to the Danish concept of hygge — sharing cozy moments with friends new and old.
