Aims

The aim of the Master's Programme in Scandinavian Studies is to give students the opportunity to study Scandinavian Studies more thoroughly, and to critically analyse historical and contemporary expressions, as well as differences and similarities between the Scandinavian languages and their literature. After completing the programme, students will have gained deeper empirical and theoretical knowledge about the Scandinavian languages, and the literature and culture of Scandinavia.
