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.

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

  • literature and cinema
  • political history and social movements
  • philosophical ideas

You can also gain knowledge and skills in different areas of the arts, humanities and social sciences, particularly in your pre-honours years (Years 1 and 2).
