Experience summer in Scandinavia while studying abroad

There's nothing like summer in Scandinavia: swimming in the canals of Copenhagen, feeling the magic of midsummer in Stockholm, and basking in the endless Scandinavian daylight.

When you study abroad with DIS, you make Scandinavia your home—and Europe your classroom.

With seemingly endless daylight comes equally endless opportunities for exploration.

What is summer in Scandinavia like?

Famous for their long and festive summer days, Stockholm and Copenhagen come alive in the summer months. With bustling street festivals and sunny parks crowded with locals, the energy of Scandinavian summers is electric.

You can explore the nature along Stockholm's archipelago or dive into Copenhagen's canals. The sun stays up late and the days seem to go on forever, giving you ample time for adventures.
