The Master's Degree in Scandinavian Studies offers two academic tracks. Students can pursue either Scandinavian Languages and Literature or Scandinavian Area Studies. Both programs focus on achieving proficiency in a chosen Nordic language (Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, or Swedish) while developing comprehensive understanding of Nordic literature and culture. The Scandinavian Languages and Literature track demands familiarity with literary analysis techniques (encompassing historical, cultural, and linguistic examination of texts), along with exposure to critical theory. This specialization also mandates expertise in a complementary field, which may include Baltic studies, film studies, history, folklore and mythology, political science, language acquisition, or translation studies.
