Overview
The Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe class along with the Entrepreneurship Practicum teaches tools and skills required to succeed as an entrepreneur — and lets students apply these tools in a real-life project.
Students are placed at a Danish start-up and experience first-hand what issues young companies are struggling with in getting their products and services to market. This practicum focuses both on the specific challenges faced by the assigned start-up and its competitors in their respective spaces, but also very much on students own personal journey into the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

Academic Program
This 6-credit summer session includes two separate, but related, 3-credit courses: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Europe and the Entrepreneurship Practicum.
This program consists of coursework, projects, site visits and activities, a week-long study tour to Stockholm, and approximately 100 hours working with a Danish start-up.
This program fulfills the Capstone Course/Experience for students in the the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program.
Excursions
This program includes site visits and cultural activities in and around Copenhagen as well as a week-long
study tour of Stockholm.
Housing
Your housing is a key part of your study abroad. As a DIS summer student, you’ll live in well-located, community-focused housing designed to foster independence and cultural immersion, helping you make the most of your time abroad. DIS housing is spread across various neighborhoods and suburbs, giving you an authentic local experience as you make the city your home.
Most students will share a room with fellow DIS students enrolled in the same summer session, arriving and departing together. In some residences, you might also have local students as flatmates, adding a unique cultural dimension to your experience.
Part of living and studying in Scandinavia means commuting by bike, bus, train, or metro, as the locals do. Whether traveling to and from classes at DIS, the practicum, study tour departures, or other activities, students can expect that commuting will be a part of your daily life.
Estimated Program Costs
Students pursuing program participation accept financial responsibility. Purdue will take measures to mitigate financial risks, although will not be liable for loss. Students should carefully note what costs need to be paid to Purdue University or to a co-sponsor or agency, and what costs need to be paid at the overseas study location. This will vary by program. The Program and Housing Fees includes: tuition and fees, practicum placement and oversight, housing, a week-long study tour, and local events and activities.
