Scandinavia Education Abroad

Home Education Abroad Scandinavia Education Abroad

Scandinavia Culture + Place

Learn first hand about the role culture, geography, and history play in architectural form by investigating the built and natural environment in Scandinavia. Spend time in Sweden, Denmark, and Finland; you will stay in the national capitals of Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Stockholm, and use these urban locales as bases for excursions into the wider metropolitan milieu.

Location
The program will begin with a stay in Helsinki, the Finnish capital, and an extended bus excursion into the Finnish countryside. An overnight ferry from Turku, Finland, into the Swedish capital of Stockholm will form the middle leg of the program. A group flight from Stockholm to the Danish capital of Copenhagen will round out the experience.

Accommodations: Stay in hostels in Copenhagen and Helsinki, a hotel in Helsinki, cabins in Evo, and ferry cabins in Turku.

Trip Length: 5 weeks

Eligibility: Open to all MAPP students in good academic and judicial standing. Check the UMD Education Abroad page for specific requirements.

Term: Offered every two years in the summer
