As a world-leading festival and capital city, Edinburgh is a fantastic place to study languages in their cultural context.
This wide-ranging joint honours programme is your opportunity to study two very different European languages in their diverse cultural contexts.
Spanish is one of the five most widely spoken languages in the world. Through literature and other media, the languages and cultures of Denmark, Norway and Sweden have long had a considerable impact beyond the Nordic region.
Throughout this programme, including a year abroad, you will develop advanced spoken and written skills in Spanish and in either Danish, Norwegian or Swedish. No previous knowledge of any of the languages is required.
While you will specialise in one Scandinavian language, you will also develop a working and social understanding of the other two we teach to degree level.
In tandem with language classes, you will explore aspects of Scandinavian, Spanish and Latin American culture. Courses cover:
- film
- literature
- history
- politics
- language
- linguistics
- media and cultural production
Why Edinburgh
We are the only university in Scotland, and one of only two in the UK, to offer undergraduate programmes with joint honours in Scandinavian Studies.
As well as being distinctive in our subject offering, we are also unique in Scotland in integrating a full academic year abroad into the four-year honours programme, regardless of whether you spend the year studying or working.
We are the proud home of the Northern Scholars Scheme which fosters cooperation between the Nordic and Baltic countries and Scotland.
Beyond Europe, this programme is your gateway to a great many cultures, societies and career opportunities across Latin America and the Caribbean. Through the Centre for Caribbean and Latin American Studies, we also have excellent links with universities throughout Latin America.
Programme benefits
- Study over four years, giving you the choice and flexibility to try out different things.
- Go abroad for the first of your honours years - Year 3.
- Build up to fluency in two languages, and specialise in different aspects of Scandinavian, Spanish and Latin American studies as you move through your degree.
- Delve into fantastic libraries and collections at the University and in the city.
- Join societies, attend events, and try your hand at creative writing, publishing and more.
- Gain the skills and confidence for life after university.
