Nordic History

See admission requirements
Historical research in the Nordic countries has traditionally been primarily concerned with the individual national states. This six-month study programme takes as its starting point the idea that the Nordic region may be viewed as a whole, with common cultural, social and political characteristics. The study programme emphasises the Nordic perspective, and provides insight into how the Nordic region has had a historical impact, and how we can understand the important differences and similarities between the Nordic countries. Students will also gain an understanding of historiographical methodology and the basis for historical knowledge.

Courses taught in the autumn: 3508 Overview of Nordic History, 3511 Nordic Political Culture, and 3509 Political Culture, Norms and Social Control; all comprising 10 ECTS credits each.

When studied together with the 1-year programme in History, the programme fulfils the requirement for the specialised component of the Bachelor’s degree in History for students who wish to continue their studies with an MA in History. The Bachelor’s degree in History also satisfies the admission requirements for the MA in Cultural Studies at Telemark University College.
