The languages, history, politics and culture of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have long had a considerable impact beyond the Nordic region. Philosophy has been at the core of Western intellectual life for at least 2,500 years. Studying Scandinavian Studies and Philosophy together helps you understand the contemporary world, as well as shedding light on the past.Scandinavian Studies On our programme, you have the opportunity to develop advanced spoken and written language skills in modern Danish, Norwegian or Swedish while exploring Scandinavian culture, past and present. You do not currently need to know a Scandinavian language, as courses are available for beginners. By Year 3, you will have the skills to spend the year abroad in Denmark, Norway or Sweden.While you will specialise in one Scandinavian language, you will also gain an understanding of the other two we teach to degree level. In Year 2, for example, you can choose to explore the similarities and differences between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. Philosophy Studying philosophy allows you to think about some of the great philosophical questions in a clear, disciplined and systematic manner.Philosophy:
