Study Tours & Field Studies 2010/2011
The DIS program is defined by a core course and two course-integrated study tours: a short tour in Denmark and a longer tour to a European destination relevant to the core course content. Participation in these tours is required.
In this way, we invite you to enhance your studies by adding a strong European hands-on dimension, and to upgrade your travels in Europe by going prepared and visiting people and places you would never otherwise have access to.
The program study tours form an intense combination of academic and cultural exploration and experiences, socializing, and fun. You will visit course-relevant sites such as (depending on the program of your choice) famous art collections, European Union institutions, multinational companies, schools and kindergartens, architecture and design projects, university hospitals, media headquarters, NGO’s, minority groups, and many more. Plus you will meet important actors in your field of study. Work performed during the tours forms the basis of course assignments.
