Why study engineering in Stockholm?

Sweden is a global leader in technical innovation and sustainability, and Stockholm has been named the smartest city in the word because of its forward-thinking and innovative solutions.

As an engineering student at DIS Stockholm, you have the opportunity to tap into cutting-edge engineering developments in Stockholm and the broader Nordic region through classes, field studies, and course-integrated Study Tours. This knowledge gives you new perspectives and knowledge that will benefit your academic career and set you apart.

What courses are offered?

DIS offers two signature Core Courses in engineering as well as a number of elective courses.

The two multidisciplinary Core Courses are Biomedical Engineering in Scandinavia and Engineering Sustainable Environments in Scandinavia.

Who are the faculty?

All DIS engineering faculty have PhDs from renowned institutions. They have a deep understanding of the topics they cover and are able to tailor their teaching to students’ interests because of the small class sizes.

DIS faculty divide their time between teaching at DIS and working or doing research at prestigious Swedish universities such at KTH Royal Institute of Technology or the Karolinska Institute, which is responsible for awarding the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Ryn and Nicola on what they gained from Stockholm

"Studying abroad has broadened my perspective. In a context outside of the U.S., I both feel like I understand Sweden more and also the European context. I’m strongly considering returning to Sweden for grad school or to work, because I think that as an engineer, especially a female engineer, there are a lot of opportunities in Sweden."

Julian on forging connections and new discoveries

"Since being here, I’ve realized that there’s so much sustainable infrastructure in place, and so many new projects that are being implemented that I’ve been able to visit with my classes, and learn and see firsthand, which has been really interesting. And it’s not anything that I would see in the U.S. because we just aren’t doing it.”

Seth on new found confidence and certainty

"My Core Course has really shown me what it’s like to study biomedical engineering, because this is my first real taste of the engineering courses that I’m going to be taking in the future. I am really grateful for that, because I wasn’t actually sure that I wanted to do biomedical engineering until I really got a taste for it."
