Scandinavian Studies

You will explore the various sub-disciplines of the subject through cultural studies, linguistics, literature studies and medieval studies. You can study cultural studies (history, politics and culture) as part of a Scandinavian Studies course only in Berlin. In addition to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish, students here can also learn Finnish and Icelandic. This varied academic programme offers you broad perspectives for the future professional use of the knowledge you will acquire.

The Department of Northern European Studies is a lively department. We cultivate close contacts and networks with Scandinavia, the entire Baltic Sea region and the Nordic embassies in Berlin. We offer a varied, ongoing programme of guest lectures and meetings with key Scandinavian personalities. Our endowed Swedish and Norwegian chairs play a major role in the exchange.Norrona, the Scandinavian Studies German student newspaper, has its main editorial office at the Department of Northern European Studies and invites you to contribute.
