New international students from throughout the world were brought together for an orientation meeting at Frederiksberg campus, the new Science faculty.

Danish Birthday Party for international students

On 17 March, international students from the Faculty of Humanities learnt what a traditional Danish birthday is.

Danish birthday decorations and loads of funny games created a cheerful atmosphere where both international and Danish students got the opportunity to hang out.

Candies, marshmallows, cider and layered cake 'lagkage' were served. A really, really sweet party...

Life Science Amazing Race 2010

On Saturday 16 October, the Faculty of Life Science's Amazing Race took internationals through Copenhagen, on a route full of challenges, surprises and new discoveries!

The students took part in groups during the day, and after egg tossing improvised acting, and building human pyramids, they joined the organisers from First Contact in the evening for a celebration, music and food in the evening.

DIS Quiz: Internationals put to the test

The Danish Institute for Study Abroad laid down the challenge on Monday 27 September, inviting scores of international students to their first pub quiz of the semester.

With a first prize pot of DKK 1.500 and plenty of beer awards up for grabs, the quiz was a perfect way to pick the internationals’ brains at the KFUK ball room.

With questions spanning from logic to Danish royalty, and geography to gastronomy, the difficult, yet fun quiz was enjoyed with a vast accompaniment of cheap beer – consumed responsibly of course.
