Your semester in Copenhagen starts here

Study abroad in Copenhagen and explore life in a progressive capital that offers the perfect balance of history and modern living in serene surroundings. Discover a different way of life and make the city and Europe itself, your classroom.

What attracted me to Copenhagen was its emphasis on sustainability, the Danish universal healthcare system, and Denmark’s stat as the happiest country in the world. Being able to live in experience and learn more about all three of these things was so rewarding, and it’s definitely an amazing opportunity to be able to learn about it in person, rather than from a textbook.
