Content

This unique joint honours programme gives you the opportunity to study two very different European languages in their diverse cultural contexts.

French is a major world language, spoken in many parts of Europe, Africa and the Americas. Through literature and other media, the languages of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have long had a considerable impact beyond the Nordic region.

Over the course of four years on this programme, including a year abroad, you can build advanced spoken and written skills in French and in either Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. No previous knowledge of a Scandinavian language is required.

While you will specialise in one Scandinavian language, you will also gain a working and social understanding of the other two we teach to degree level.

As well as your language classes, you will explore aspects of French-speaking (Francophone) and Scandinavian culture.
