DIS Study Tours

One of the main tasks for my position at DIS is to arrange companies for the Business and Economics students to visit while on two separate academically related tours. The first being a shorter three day excursion into Western Denmark and the second and longer tour that goes either to London and Brussels or Berlin and Prague (depending on what grouping they are in). In addition to arranging all of the company visits for the three groups, I co-lead one of the tours on both the short and long.

Short tour company examples this semester were NASDAQ OMX, Jyske Bank, Vestas Wind Systems, Bang and Olufsen, Innovation Living and Lego Systems.



Long Tour firms: Transport for London, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Brewer's Association, Belgacom, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling, Microsoft, Czech National Bank, Deutsche Bahn, Zendome, T-Mobile and the Czech Beer and Malt Association. Picture below is our group suited up for a tour of the factory floor after being given a presentation by the CFO.
Students also enjoy many cultural activites that are set up by our Study Tours department such as walking tours, museum visits, etc. and meals at iconic restaurants like the Prague TV Tower, Ugly Duckling, and the Berlin Restaurant for the Blind.
Our guide Daniel giving us the low down about the Berlin Wall (directly at his back). He has many interesting first hand experiences from living in Berlin during the fall of Communism.

Below is a video from a Hockey Game we saw in Berlin. It went to a shootout and the Berlin Polar Bears came out on top!
