In the Scandinavian Studies major, students learn to independently and collaboratively develop scientifically critical arguments, identify and present connections across disciplines, theories, eras, and languages, independently investigate information, analyze and compose texts, and present their knowledge.
Students are encouraged to deepen these skills after completing their bachelor's degree by pursuing the research-oriented Scandinavian Studies master's program.
The Bachelor’s program in Scandinavian Studies prepares students for careers in areas such as editing, critical editions, translating, and reviewing literary works, as well as presenting literary studies topics in ways suited to various media. These fields primarily include communication media (publishing, press, broadcasting, translation work, editorial work, corporate communication), literature and cultural management, educational institutions, adult education, and international editorial positions.
