Course summary

This unique joint honours programme is your opportunity to study the languages and cultures of two neighbouring and influential parts of modern Europe. Over one third of Europeans are native speakers of German, while the languages of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have long had a considerable impact beyond the Nordic region. Through intensive language study, including a year abroad, you will have the opportunity to acquire advanced spoken and written skills in both German and a Scandinavian language - either Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. No previous knowledge of any of the languages is needed.In addition to your language classes, you will explore aspects of German-speaking and Scandinavian culture. Courses cover literature, cinema, history, society, politics, and languages in themed and comparative contexts.
