Perspectives

In the Scandinavian Studies program, students learn to argue critically and scientifically, both independently and in teams. They develop the ability to identify and present connections across disciplines, theories, time periods, and languages. Students also gain skills in independently investigating information, analyzing texts, writing, and presenting their knowledge. After completing their bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to deepen these skills through the research-oriented master's program in Scandinavian Studies.

The Scandinavian Studies course prepares students for roles in areas such as editing, critical editions, translating, and reviewing literary works, as well as presenting literary studies topics in a way suited to various media. These fields primarily include communication media (publishing, press, broadcasting, translation work, editorial tasks, corporate communication), literature and cultural management, educational institutions, adult education, and international lecturing positions.
