The city’s infrastructure is made for bikes, with 50% of Copenhageners commuting to work or school by bike. Become part of this unique city’s fabric for your semester, using it as your classroom, and look beyond to other cities in Europe on Study Tour to analyze their successes and challenges.

Core Courses

European Urban Experience: Why Cities Matter
Fall/Spring, 3 Credits

Using the city as our classroom, this course combines first-hand experiences through biking, walking, and sensing the city with theoretical knowledge of the built environment, urban life, and urban transformations. The understanding of cities draws from different fieSpring) or Germany (Fall) or Barcelona

  • Core Course Week: Southern Sweden or Denmark or Northern Germany

Early in the semester, you delve into your academic focus during Core Course Week, in which you travel on a short Study Tour for three days in Denmark or a neighboring country, combined with a two-day seminar in Copenhagen. Later in the semester, you travel again with your Core Course on a week-long Study Tour in Europe.
 
While on tour, theories learned in the classroom come to life by meeting with professionals and experts in your field who contribute to furthering your understanding of course topics. Study Tours are hands-on and experiential, combining theory with practice, and expose you to additional cultural perspectives. You have the opportunity to visit sites and experts in your field of interest that you may not otherwise have access to.
