Study Abroad Programs in Copenhagen, Denmark

So you have chosen to visit one of the most special places in Europe and the happiest place in the world — Copenhagen.

What can this city offer you?

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Copenhagen

Geography & Demographics

With half a million people, Copenhagen is the biggest city in Denmark and the most visited city in Scandinavia. It is filled with canals, bikes, colorful buildings, hot dogs, and beautiful people (that is not just a stereotype—seriously, every Dane looks like a model). Copenhagen is also broken up into several smaller neighborhoods, all worth seeing.
