DIS Copenhagen

This program allows students to boost their resume by consulting with businesses and presenting solutions on real-life cases. It also provides an opportunity for students to learn how best to articulate their enhanced cross-cultural leadership skills with DIS career workshops on international internships, resume building, and interviewing skills; as well as network with local professionals at the DIS Career Night. Finally, students will travel with DIS faculty on course-integrated Study Tours to meet with leaders and decision makers in key business clusters, using their insights to build their projects.

Students will enroll in the three-credit Entrepreneurship Practicum, a three-credit core course (typically either Innovation and Entrepreneurship or International Business) and three additional elective courses. The Entrepreneurship Practicum fulfills the internship/experiential learning requirement.

The Entrepreneurship Practicum enables students to work individually or in teams in a consultative capacity with entrepreneurs from Danish start-ups to solve a current business challenge that the respective entrepreneurs are facing. Past practicum sites have included working with start-up communities in fashion and design, web and mobile applications, hardware and smart devices, services, payment and finance, meet up organizations, and more.
