Overview

DIS has rolling admissions and popular courses can fill early.

Opportunity Description

Explore globalization and its impact on European economics. Critically examine and apply leading theories of international trade, capital, and finance to contemporary case studies.

What is unique about this program?

  • Travel on course-integrated study tours that give you first-hand insight into the larger economic landscape of Europe from EU integration to transition economics
  • Benefit from Denmark as your case study in globalization, where you and your classmates will take a comparative look at how Denmark's small, open economy differs from that of the U.S.
  • Explore Copenhagen through a hands-on academic lens on field studies, taking you behind the scenes on visits to local institutions such as think tanks, consulting firms, banks, and labor unions

What is unique about Copenhagen?

  • DIS is in the heart of a Medieval city.  On your way to class you will be surrounded by walking streets, canals lined with colorful houses, public gardens with castles, and spires dotting the skyline.
  • Old meets new: Copenhagen matches 16th century architecture with modern and inventive urban spaces - well-planned bike lanes, harbor baths, skate parks, food markets, and more.
  • Watch videos on DIS's YouTube channel for a more in-depth look at the city.
