Programme profile
This programme in prepares you for work in numerous fields related to cultural production, the language arts, the manipulation of texts and the generation of creative content.
The programme provides non-native as well as native English-language speakers with the skills needed to compete effectively in the global world. Our writing focus, a unique focus in Sweden, allows students to take elective courses emphasising both academic and creative writing skills. Your own oral production is also emphasized through courses in drama and rhetoric.
The programme has six terms and during the last term you choose one of two distinct specialisations and prepare a corresponding Bachelor’s thesis.
Literature
This specialisation relies on contemporary critical approaches, enabling you to understand literature not as a museum but as a living body of knowledge.
Linguistics
This specialisation engages in theoretical and practical examination relevant to the complexity and diversity of 21st-century language and culture. It is designed to combine critical and creative thinking.
Through lectures, writing workshops, seminars and project work you learn how to approach problems creatively and critically.
Potential working fields include writing, publishing, teaching, journalism, advertising, marketing, design, translation and media
