Advising Summer Students

Summer Study Abroad

In early summer 2012, DIS offers 24, three-credit courses within a variety of academic fields. Architecture & Design programs are offered in the mid-late summer and are thoroughly integrated programs of six or seven weeks. During the early sessions, the courses are offered in two consecutive sessions:

Session 1 (May 23 - June 14)
Session 2 (June 17 - July 6)
Architecture & Design (June 17 - August 3)

In Session 1, there is no study tour. In Session 2, the courses include a five-day study tour in Scandinavia or Europe. Students can choose to enroll in one course for three credits, either in Session 1 or Session 2. Or students can enroll in two courses for six credits, one in Session 1 and one in Session 2. Most summer students choose this option for six credits.

For students interested in Architecture & Design, Furniture or Textile Design in Scandinavia, the program comes as a comprehensive package offering nine credits; six credits for studio and 3 credits for the corresponding lecture course.

Students are free to combine any two courses from Sessions 1 and 2. They can take both courses within one and the same academic field or they can diversify. Syllabi for all courses - when available - can be viewed or downloaded from the Summer Students section.

Danish building culture combines elements that are local and historical with the global and theoretical. The program at DIS allows students to not merely see the built artifacts of a foreign country, but to engage in the culture, and understand the processes that led to the current environment.
