Languages and Cultures of the Nordic and Baltic Sea Region is an umbrella programme that allows students to deepen their knowledge of the culture and language studied (Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Latvian, Polish or German) as well as consistently broaden their specialisation to include a cross-cultural perspective. Several thematic courses are offered that target the socio-cultural developments of the community studied in the broader context of Eastern, Central and Northern Europe.

The students can specialise in literary and cultural studies or (socio)linguistics or choose subjects freely combining these fields. The programme includes cooperation with similar programmes at other universities in the region. The language of instruction is English. The entry requirement is a B1 level knowledge of the language of the chosen specialisation.
