Cert in Nordisk (årsstudium)

The one-year Nordic programme introduces Norwegian language and literature. Students learn how the Nordic languages have changed over time, about modern Norwegian and various linguistic phenomena, and about the relationship between language and society. They also study how the way we write and think has changed from the Middle Ages to the present. The literature part covers the most important works written in Norwegian, some literature from other Nordic countries, literary history, literary theory and genres. Gender and class are examined as factors that shape the relationship between literature and society. The programme takes place mostly on the Nygårdshøyden campus, and completing it allows transfer to the bachelor's programme in Nordic language and literature.
