"The Architecture and Design programs introduce you to a world-renowned design tradition different enough from your own to be genuinely inspiring and meaningful for your professional career."
--Copenhagen: Study Abroad in English DIS Catalog 2005-2006

Location
Copenhagen is a little bit off the beaten track--which is exactly why it is so interesting. You will find it a cosmopolitan capital of 1.5 million people; a safe and hospitable city that was founded in 1167 and now combines medieval charm with modern lifestyles and easy access to the rest of continental Europe.
